Definitely the best era of Billy Swan
Review of Billy Swan/Four - Billy Swan by  prom22

Advantages: Fantastic tracks
Disadvantages: Does not include "I Can Help"

...In 1976 I was listening to Billy Swan singing "I Just Want to Taste Your Wine" and enjoying a long, hot summer! At the time I bought the original LP (yes, vinyl!) - the one entitled "Billy Swan" with the grey border - and loved every track on it, which was pretty amazing because for me the odds of that are astronomical!! So when I saw this combination CD advertised I decided to indulge my nostalgia and buy it - and no, I was NOT disappointed with the other 10 tracks from the original LP entitled "Four". All together this CD provides a history of what I think is the best period of Billy Swan's career and it certainly takes you back to those lazy days of summer (when it really was hot all the time!)....

SOTY - The Black Swan ~ 10/10
Review of Black Swan, The - Story Of The Year by  GerlofL

Advantages: All the tracks are better then their older stuff
Disadvantages: You only get 13 tracks, it makes their older stuff look pale.

...in 2007, and they are still with them today. -------------The Tracks---------- Well, what you probably opened this review for, you want to know whether you should buy this CD or not, I say go for it anyway, even if you hate the music, because ' The Black Swan' is a movement that is against the discrimination of homosexual and negro people, which I find worth supporting. However, its great to have a good CD from somebody you support, so here goes. 1. "Choose Your Fate" - 3:34 ~ 9/10 First Track, starts with spoken text, like a radio broadcast. Brutaly broken, and the music backing the breakout is great, sounds quite different from the older SOTY, neverminding the vocals, that have not changed that much, which can be a plus or a minus, there are some heavier parts, which personally does really great in my taste. Definatly a cut above... Read review

My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Review of Turn Loose The Swans - My Dying Bride by  bagoproverbial

Advantages: Original, intense, powerful, melodic, epic
Disadvantages: An acquired taste for those who don't like a challenge!

...It seems that very few people have heard of My Dying Bride, outside of rock & metal circles. They've never made it big in the way that some of their contemporaries have, which to me is more than a shame- it's criminal. They are one of the most original bands of their kind and every new album brings with it something new to be admired. "Turn Loose the Swans" was released in 1993, at a time when "goth metal" and "doom metal" was emerging (if only a little) from obscurity. Bands such as Paradise Lost had already achived a small measure of success, and My Dying Bride, who also hail from West Yorkshire, brought out this, their first (vaguely) commercial effort. "Turn Loose the Swans" is dark, epic, and mournful, an album that suddenly turns from peace and tranquillity to visceral, shuddering noise- great slab-like riffs of enormously... Read review
