Three Chords And The Truth - Big Bang Babies

Advantages: Rock and roll....comedic style!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...'s not irony and it's not rock and roll", but anyway, moving onto more pressing matters - the song itself is a perfect example of what Art Brut are attempting to achieve - music domination through singing about things that they know - they formed a band, because it's cool, simple as that. Second track "My Little Brother" goes on, literally, about Argos' little brother, who just seems to have discovered rock and roll, regardless of the fact he's twenty two.... Yes, slightly obscure subject matter does help with the humour side of things, but it's important to remember that the music itself is not bog-standard, basic, factory line music - there are plenty of melodies and complex enough structures to show that they have actually thought about some of this, rather than just written three chords and a drum beat when drunk, like when many...

Advantages: Diverse, Range of Sounds & Hits
Disadvantages: A few listings maybe not in the best place

...with new over-riding mixes. You’ll recognize DJ Sammy, Paffendorf and Public Domain as were huge hits in your local clubs but then we have a few tracks such as Styles & Breeze’s – Let Me Fly and DJ Misjah & DJ Tim’s – Access which are both more heavy. They are much fatter with the heavy chords and stomps of drum hits but still keep it to a low level making sure any Dance fanatic would appreciate dancing with this. Only Fire Wire by Cosmic Gate is much more banging. The tune already used a phat riff using a drum hit repeatedly and now with this mix the hitting sections are prolonged and therefore your swept over by a hard hitting sound which will sure make your neighbours know of it. DISC TWO - Floor Fillers : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1 > BK – Revolution 2 > Michael Woods ft. Warrior – If U Want Me 3 > Future Breeze... Read review

Advantages: It is a classic album
Disadvantages: A few weaker links

...'Tsunami'. This is another song whose strength lies in the chorus, even though it is less powerful than other songs in terms of energy, but the Asian influence with sitars works perfectly. The mood and the tempo plummet with 'My Little Empire', and then you hear a different vocal, and realise that Nicky Wire has taken over the microphone, and I am not convinced if I am honest, because the tone and the emotion that emits from James Dean Bradfield is sorely lacking when Wire sings, and he would have been better just writing and playing instruments, and not meddling where he is not welcome! This track is the big let down on the album from me, as it lacks direction, and never really evolves into anything worth listening to once, never mind revisiting. 'I'm Not Working' feels like it takes an age to get going, and the opening chords are movie... Read review
