Advantages: A good mix of songs Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework
A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.
I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)
Housework vol1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie.
The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents ...
Advantages: Some great cover versions Disadvantages: A few duds
I have always been a fan of the Radio 1 Live Lounge, sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss but I enjoy listening to bands doing a more acoustic version of their hits and some of the cover versions they do are really good. The basic format is that each band does one of their own songs and one cover song live in the studio.
This album is a double album with 20 tracks on each CD and features selection of songs, some of them covers and some the bands originals and it is quite an eclectic mix with some quite unusual songs.
Perhaps my favourite has to be the Arctic Monkeys cover of the Girls Aloud hit Lovemachine which with the frenetic guitar riffs and strong Yorkshire accent of the boys works really well. The Coldpay song The Scientist provides a strong opening to CD2 and s followed up by an acoustic version of Smile by Lilly Allen ...
Advantages: Great highly playable CD Disadvantages: Bad selection of some tracks, and often difficult to get hold of.

Now for me the thrill of live lounge is to see performers interpretations of popular songs made popular by other artists, although the original idea behind the Radio 1 show (the idea behind the CD) was simply to hear the artists perform. The show became more popular because of these interpretations, and now is one of the most popular listed to shows on Radio 1.
The album is all-round fantastic, some of the singers I dislike intensely but I just ...
