Under Jolly Roger - Running Wild

Advantages: The third cycle of Weller's career
Disadvantages: It's a far cry from The Jam and The Style Council...

...only a handful of months after the end of that sweet stuff they put on toast. Running in a new direction, and to Jam fans, a bitter pill to swallow, to Weller, the transition between the two had been purely natural. It is no wonder that the second transition from romantic, pop idol to hard spoken super stardom alone was just as free spirited. Accompanying himself with Steve White on drums and percussion, Marco Nelson on bass and allowing himself to take the lead on almost any other instrument left, Weller embarked on the deep, thought provoking music of his solo career. 'Wild Wood' was to be his second album of his official solitary journey into an unravelled direction.

Advantages: she's made her way back one year on
Disadvantages: I don't think that there are any

...This is Avril Lavigne's second album and she waited a year from the release of her last song, I'm with you to release this album, under my skin. There is one special song on there that made me cry when I first heard it, as it was so beautiful. There was also a poster that also came with it that is now up on my wall. *********************************************************************** I'll start with the cover and design of the CD album. It's red writing, with a picture of avril in her Goth clothes. It's got a grey-black background as well. It's pretty simple, but I think that sometimes, simpler is better.

Also the barcode and a playability chart with what... Read review
