Step Forward - I Wanna Punk Rock (The Singles Collection) - Various Artists

Punk Rock's Your Friend?

Advantages: Some great songs from bands you may not have heard before
Disadvantages: Some poor tunes

disappointed. The Tsunami Bomb remix of 'Roundabout' is really good. I have found Tsunami Bomb to be a bit of a hit or miss band in that you never know whether you will see the good, or the bad side of them. Here, we are truly seeing the good side of them and the quality of the remix really does do them justice and add excitement to the tune. However, on the other track the band have to offer, 'Dawn on a Funeral Day' we unfortunately seem to be experiencing the downside to the band. A definite stand out band on this CD is Useless I.D. - a band who offer up two fresh sounding songs that are quite happy sounding and you can have a really good dance to. I am not usually a fan of this sort of vibrant, upbeat pop tinged Punk Rock music but the band really do it well and as a result really are the highlight of this CD. I would give the two tracks ...

Review of Kung Fu Records Sampler Vol.5 (Punk Rock Is Your Friend) - Various Artists

Urban Renewal (The songs of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence ...

Review of Urban Renewal (The Songs Of Phil Collins) - Various Artists

Classic punk album

Advantages: Plenty of hits with well written lyrics
Disadvantages: None

and usually have catchy choruses, just about every track starts off with a belter of a riff. "No One's Coming Outside" is a particular favourite of mine, which is more in the new wave vein but has a lot going on throughout. The vocals get incredibly "cool rock n roll" style on tracks like "I'm On Fire", a track which shows that the band were good at putting together lots of little pieces and styles to form a bit of a masterpiece. This is definitely an under-rated album and should be listened to! The album runs chronologically from early songs to late. 1. Right to Work 2. Loner 3. High Rise Living 4. No Admission 5. Urban Kids 6. No Flowers 7. No One's Coming Outside 8. What Would You Do 9. I'm on Fire 10. Look at the Outside 11. Don't Get Me Wrong 12. No Escape 13. Decide 14. Rockin' Horse 15. Years Away 16. Freemans 17. I ...
