Xecutioner's Return - Obituary

Advantages: Classic Old School Death Metal
Disadvantages: None

...As far as Death Metal as a genre goes, Obituary are one of the greats, and as far as Obituary goes, Cause of Death is one of thier best CDs, if not thier best. I have listened, at great length, to Obituary's entire discography, and although it is very hard to fault any of thier work, it is equally hard to pick a favourite track or album out of so many classics. But the reason I believe this fits the bill is because each and every song is as powerful as the last. The vocals come across excellently, good, pure, harsh, deep gutterals which fit in against the backdrop of the beefy guitars and skilled drumming. As this is a review and not a history lesson, I don't feel the need to talk about individuals in the band or thier past releases to any great extent, but suffice to say, if you are a Obituary fan or a fan of old school Death...

Advantages: Great Hits Once again 2 BONUS TRACKS!
Disadvantages: none

...After a well deserved break, No Doubt Returned with their forth album entitled Return Of Saturn, although a strange title, this album is once again crammed with hits! This was the second album of No Doubts that I bought which included the great come-back single "New" which is a great fast dance type rock track which is still one of my all time faves! Follow-ups to the return single failed to impress or make it into the top 10. Other releases included Simple Kind Of Life and Marry Me both good tracks but not in my view the best off this album.

Suspension is another great with a spingy sound at the beginning which seems really strange in sounding. Gwen sings... Read review

Advantages: great catchy tunes
Disadvantages: couple of interludes cut down number of tracks

...Hmmm, Sisqo. The diminutive (and adorable!!!)singing star has just vanished off the planet (although I've been told by misssixty that he is apparently now seeing the gianormous Samantha Mumba - isn't she about twice the size of him???) but a couple of years ago, after gaining fame over here after the release of "The Thong Song", he was pretty big. Obviously, I'm talking metaphorically big, rather than in a literal sense. (Sorry Sisqo, I'll stop slagging you for being small now!) I didn't own "Unleash The Dragon", the album which gave birth to the ode to girly underwear, but when his second album "Return of Dragon" was released, I decided I definitely needed to buy that. And I was not disappointed at all by it! TRACK LISTING 1. Intro 2. Not afraid - Sisqo & The Dragon Family 3. Infatuated 4. Can I live - Sisqo & The Dragon Family... Read review
