Rock & Pop

Advantages: Distinctive sound, incredible guitar/keyboard album.
Disadvantages: A bit samey, and weak in the middle.

There's not a great deal I could say about Pink Floyd's 1975 album that hasn't already been said. But obviously, you know, I'll try and stuff. (This is why I normally write about bands like Subterranean Masquerade, whom you've never heard of). The sequel to the phenomenally popular 'Dark Side of the Moon' was always going to be a huge seller based on legacy alone, which is a shame as this inevitably led to the band adopting a more radio-friendly ...
...musical (and, I suppose, substance) experimentation produced such inspired 20-minute classics as 'Echoes' and such ridiculous 20-minute embarrassments as 'Atom Heart Mother' in equal measure, were now making albums targeted at the mass international audience they had snared. The band's early discography is packed with incredible highs and lows, and though much of it is inherently rubbish, the audacity alone makes it enjoyable. Now a sensation thanks ... Read review

Advantages: A decent soft rock sound
Disadvantages: Very little variation

..."American Idol" the season after Daughtry had been on to say goodbye to the acts who had been voted off. It's an expansive number with a bit more of a pop-rock influence than earlier tracks and reminds me of The Calling again. It's the kind of song made for American TV, with a big chorus and a soft rock feel, but it's nothing new and the same kind of thing that TV shows have been using as theme tunes and interludes for decades. The next track seems ...
...low as 99 pence. If Daughtry is going to be your kind of music, then this is a well crafted album and well worth a listen and it's only the lack of variation in sound that lets it down for me. Daughtry certainly proves here that he has the talent to go a long way in the industry; he just needs to develop a wider range of sound to ensure that people don't get bored of him too quickly. ...

Advantages: Catchy songs
Disadvantages: Few rubbish album filler

Jordin Sparks is an 18 yrs American Pop/R&B singer. She won the 6th series of American Idol in 2007. Her debut self titled album ranges from ballads like her first single 'This is my Now' to her second US single Tatoo (very poppy) and a duet with Chris Brown titled 'No Air (R&B). Album: 1) Tatoo - This charted at number 8 on the billboard hot 100. It's a cute pop song about her love for a boy that she holds close to her heart. 2) One step at ...
...the US. It's sound is like an early Christina Aguilera come Britney Spears. Easy to listen to and quite catchy 3) No Air- Duet with Chris Brown...Absolutely love this single. Has a funky R&B edge to it and again very catchy. This was released in the US and reached number 3 on the billboard hot 100. 4) Freeze - Co written by Sparks it has a more mature sound to it. 5) Shy boy - more of an album filler. Sound very much like on Freeze 6) Now you ... Read review

Advantages: Upbeat,Great to Dance too,Very now
Disadvantages: At times over produced,Sounds a bit like Timbaland's other work

I have been awaiting the release of Madonna's new album since she released her last album,Confessions on a Dance Floor in 2005! And I was so excited to hear that she would be working with Timbaland,Justin Timberlake and Kanye West,etc as I am also a huge fan of them too! Listening to her first single(4 Minutes feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland),I didn't really like the song at first,but now it is my favourite song on the whole album! Like ...
...when I first heard it as it sounded very much the same as what Timbaland has done with people such as Nelly Furtado and I thought that overall the album was a little boring. But then a day after listening to it,I found myself singing the songs over and over in my head and now I just can't stop listening to it! I would say it is an album that grows on you and while I wouldn't say it's Madonna's best ever,it's definitely not her worst either. These ... Read review
