Advantages: Quirky, likeable and original. A great collection of addictive tracks Disadvantages: Perhaps one too many genres thrown into the mix, unsettled and unusual.
Debut albums are often notable for their diverse, sometimes indecisive mix of styles and themes as the artists struggle to establish themselves and let the listener know what they're all about. This is certainly true of The Sleepy Jackson's first full-length album Lovers; although at times I got the impression that lead singer and commander of mayhem Luke Steele is simply taking us on a roller coaster ride of genres, styles and themes, just for the sheer hell of it.
Within the space of the first two songs you quickly realise that someone who can move seamlessly from the George Harrison-esque opener 'Good Dancers' with its winding, whining strings, floating female harmonies and sitar-laden backing, to the stomping glam-rock, Velvet Underground sounding 'Vampire Racecourse' is not going to be easy to categorize.

production from Babyface, R Kelly, Rodney Jerkins, Teddy Riley and the unknown "Dr Freeze". It was released on 30th October 2001 to mixed reviews from critics and fans alike.

1.) Unbreakable
This starts off the album in a superb way with a full on stomper of a track which features a stupendous beat which is accompanied by the many hooks.

******Square and the obelisk
On one of the main squares of Minsk there is a memorial with an eternal flame. A four sided obelisk reminds us of those who sacrificed their lives during Second World War. Every fourth Belarus died during the war. Each side of the obelisk symbolises different things: 1 symbolises war front, the other one defence, 3rd symbolises underground movements and finally the 4th one symbolises partisans (partisan is basically a civilian fighting on his own initiative, and in Belarus they were significant force against Germans. Usually Partisans were either too old or young to join the army, so they fought on their own)
This obelisk with built in the victory Square on the 4th of July 1954 to commemorate 10 years of freedom from fascist occupation. The work on the obelisk actually started before the war had finished in 1942 ...
