Album Notes: This 26-track German import comp on Repertoire presents mono and stereo mixes of key tracks by England's '60s garage kings the Pretty Things. Among the vintage rock & roll numbers are "Rosalyn," "Don't Bring Me Down," and "Defecting Grey."
Advantages: Contines the Libertines legacy with style Disadvantages: Could linger in the shadow of past greatness
...of the Libertines is inevitable. In my opinion, Waterloo to Anywhere trumps anything that Doherty and Babyshambles have produced over the past few years. The maturity of the lyrics, and the punchy, sweaty musical style of Dirty PrettyThings is far superior to Doherty's pseudo-poetic ramblings and mediocre instrumental arrangements. Although, some are bound to disagree....
Overall, if I were to sum this album up in 3 words, I'd have to say:
Lyrical; Drunken; Passionate.
These qualities make this more than the average album in today's industry where over-production and manafacturing hits are commonplace.
Any fan of the Libertines would do well to buy this album, as it ranks up there with the best of the Libertines work, and at times, even surpasses them....

...Aaliyah is gonna be the next bestthing! Her songs on the romeo must die album are some of the best. Her new album is coming out at the end of this year and i recommend that everyone should buy it. Her single now 'try again' is out now and is about being persistent and patience with love. She already has a double platinum album '1 in a million' and her cover project is due for release which also features the likes of timberland, dmx, genuiwine, etc. I think she is awesome, not just a pretty face....

Advantages: Atmospheric d'n'b classics Disadvantages: Not much of these...
..., giving a broader range of opportunities of expression as ever before. Perhaps this is the main reason of such kind of succes.
The opener track "Return of Forever" is the most popular here. It's combination of true anthemic build, synth bass and rich but not heavy beats make it a really hypnotic tune. The most emotional one in months. This one has it's well-deserved place among the genre's best ever.
The second one, "Music is Everything" is great example of sweet female vocals, piano samples and pretty fast but soft beat in a jungle style altogether creating one fluent rhytm. It is not so bright and emotional as the previous, but it creates a long-lasting, soft and nice to hear atmosphere.
The following one is called in the same way as the album itself - "True Colors". Here, a nice and soft male vocal is used, which is pretty a rare thing...
