Blood Brothers - International Cast
Review of Blood Brothers - International Cast by
malibu_miffy
Advantages: This recording contains all of the important tracks from the hit show.
Disadvantages: The use of brothers makes the link between the characters too abvious too early on.
I purchased this recording of Blood Brothers having been to see the show on the West End. When listening to the recording from start to finnish the story is clearly conveyed making it enjoyable to listen to with little effort. The quality of the sound is far above that of earlier recordings of the show that are available. I would recommend this recording to both those who have seen the show as well as others as you do not require any previous knowledge ... ...the narrator makes his Liverpudlian accent clear preventing any misunderstanding of the lyrics. The only complaint I have of this recording is in the casting of the Cassidy brothers playing the characters of the twins. This to my mind at least conveys far too closer connection between the two characters than perhaps is required. Overall however I believe that this is an excellent recording of the show which includes everything you could require, ...

Eminem, and some!
Review of 8 Mile (Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture/Deluxe Edition) [PA] - Eminem by
paulhanton
Advantages: Good range of artists, some great tracks.
Disadvantages: Couple of 'howlers'.
8 Mile Rd - Eminem plus.
It is hard to know where to start with this CD. Whilst it is the soundtrack to the 2002 film of the same name starring Eminem, and it features an awful lot of Eminem it also features many other rappers:
* Obie Trice
* 50 Cent
* Jay-Z
* Freeway
* D12
* Xzibit
* Nas
* Rakim
* Young Zee
* Gang Starr
* Joe Beast
* Brooklyn
* Shuanta
And the silky voiced Macey Gray and Taryn Manning all show up for the party.
There ... ...Cent. 4/10
3. 8 Mile. Eminem.
Another autobiographical song from Em. I like the way the music is really not what you would expect from a rap song, edgy and guitar and keyboard based. He almost 'sings' on this track, novel in itself, lol. 7/10.
4. Adrenaline Rush. Obie Trice.
Obie Trice has never really got the recognition he deserves in my opinion. It is nice to hear a raw rap record, drum based that matches his hard rapping style. Full of swearing, ...

Simply wonderful
Review of Camp Rock - Various Artists by
JoRox90
Advantages: You can listen to it a million times and never get tired
Disadvantages: You might get bored if you're not into pop..duh
The music....that's what the movie is all about! The soundtrack's got a handful of nice songs. "This is Me" by Demi Lovato and "Gotta Find You" by Joe Jonas are the highlights of the album. A mix of pop and a dash of slow rock make this album really good. This is a must have for all you Jo Bro lovers out there! Demi Lovato impresses with her clean voice and Joe Jonas brings in his charm with "Gotta Find You" which touches your heart. Another wonderful ...
