Advantages: A strong return from an underrated band Disadvantages: Still not quite reaching their full potential......
"Kill Your Own" is the third studio album from British hard-rock band Hundred Reasons, following the unprecedented success of debut release "Ideas Above Out Station" and it's follow-up "Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge". Released in early 2006, it is the band's first album since their change to the label V2 Music.
Many people felt that the band's follow-up from their debut album was somewhat of a let down considering the success of "Ideas Above Our Station" that broke them out of the underground and into the mainstream, so with that in mind, many people awaited for this album with baited breath, to see if the band could return to successful ways, or whether or not their debut was a mere fluke......
Opening track "Broken Hands" starts things off excellently, and from a personal point of view, out does more or less every track off ...
Advantages: Lots of great songs from the eighties Disadvantages: A few not so great
covered by Girls Allowed.
Track 18 - China In Your Hand - T'Pau
The unmistakable Carol Decker's vocals make this another track which is well worth listening to. Sadly they were never able to emulate the success of this debut single.
Track 19 - Eternal Flame - Bangles
On a par with Manic Monday as The Bangles best hit, they were one of the eighties biggest girl bands.
Track 20 - Wizard - Paul Hardcastle
Whilst you may not recognise this from its title, this is actually the theme from Top of The Pops so in many ways as appropriate way to end the album.
Overall Conclusion
For £10 there is the odd dodgy track but I have yet to come across a compilation album where every track appeals to everybody. However, this album pretty much provides a decent offering for the majority of people who grew up in this era or just ...
I have found a new category on Ciao, read it and weep people, if you manage to stay awake that is!
Trying to list my top songs ever is very hard, to make it a bit easier I have decided to list them in order of how often I have listened to them. This will do justice to the 'ever' part of the title as no doubt some of the older songs I don't listen to much now as they have been played to death, but they deserve a mention. The real problem is that 10 is such a small number, but be glad for small mercies reader. Onward, your quest awaits.
You will spot that I have a rather eclectic taste in music, I play whatever fits the mood I am in. Even more eclectic are my top 10 albums!
10. Men At Work - Land Down Under
This was the first song I really liked when I was about 12 years old. Unfortunately another song which was out ...
