Rock & Pop

Advantages: Good mixture of genres in one. Amazing energy.
Disadvantages: "Hurt you" is my least favourite. Otherwise none!

...such as '"Oh, I've been dying to say this to you / And I don't know what else to do / I've seen your f*cking attitude", meanwhile confessing that she has moved onto a new lover. This is another one of those songs that you just got to play it on repeat, full volume, much to the annoyance of your naighbours. But hey, you're only young once. 8. Hurt You One of my less favourable songs. The vocals was just slightly off-key and wasn't proper singing. ...
...enjoy this song because of the lyrics. Such as "you should come over cause i can tell from your eyes / why won't you tell me what's really on your mind / too much confusion / you need a little more time / so many times now we've been through this before". 9. Much Too Long A better song, and one of my likes. Beginning with simple beats and synthesizer. Maja then emotionally sings "i don't feel rejected but i feel / neglected / you know me too well ...

Advantages: Very varied collection from an often underrated act
Disadvantages: The occasional sub-standard track

Having chafed at their lack of creative freedom, Marmalade signed to Decca at the end of 1969, insisting on full musical control, and promptly netted themselves a transatlantic Top 10 hit with the introspective "Reflections Of My Life". (According to the NME and MM charts, #1 - Guinness Hit Singles, only #3). It was no flash in the pan; follow-ups like the folksy "Rainbow", the irresistible singalong summer tune "Cousin Norman" (in my opinion, the ...
..."Radancer", saw them regularly on Top Of The Pops over the next couple of years. Guitarist Junior Campbell left in 1971 to be replaced by the equally talented Hughie Nicholson, and in fact this 2-CD set divides neatly into tracks featuring both the aforementioned. Their touch never faltered; they could rock with the best of 'em, as a listen to "Super Clean Jean" and "Ride Baby Ride" will show, though the gentle harmony-driven songs remained their ...

Advantages: Amazing songs
Disadvantages: A few covers

I wasn't sure about buying this CD at first as I thought it would just be a collection of songs that weren't good enough to be put on the proper ablums. But after hearing one or two of the songs I soon realised that they were just as good as some of the songs on Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. As soon as I bought this Cd I started to fall in love with the rythems and lyrics, many of the songs I believe could have easily been accepted onto the original albums. ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant, Cute, Poppy Lyrics & Catchy Melodies.
Disadvantages: Reworked tracks sounded better on EP

After being featured in the Rolling Stones Top 10 for 2008, and the BBC's Ones To Watch list, Black Kids album was deffinatly one i was looking out for, and when i finally got round to buying and listening to the album, i was not disapointed! Carrying over tracks from the EP such as "Hit the Heartbrakes", "Hurricane Jane", "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend...", and "I've Underestimated My Charm", already sets off the album to a great start with ...
...felt were good enough to live up to the hype surrounding the first EP. Regardless, i would say this is a album well worth owning, sing and dance along tracks like the fantastic single "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend", aren't going to change your life, or make you want to get up off your sofa and make a difference, but this album will make you smile, dance, and set your day of to a great start. Deffinaty one of this years summer anthems. ... Read review

Advantages: catchy, fun, funky
Disadvantages: none

...Punk with an edge then Pulley are the band for you and especially this album. This is a clean cut, fun album full of good sing a long tracks and a few really gems. Pulley are almost like a super group in the punk world, comprising of members of some really respected punk bands such as strung out, ten foot pole etc. The album opener 'Working Class Whore' sets the tone for the album, it is the type of song which you are already singing along to by ...
...album fires along at rapid pace like any good punk album does with some great songs along the way. 'Gone' being a personal favourite of mine which i have been listening to on repeat for the last two days and which prompted me to write this review. by the time you get to the pop punk anthem Dogs LIfe its almost all over but it leaves you wanting to skip back to the start and do it all again. highly recommended for fans of bands like strung out, pennywise, ...
