Raising Sand

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

Release Date October 29, 2007
As a long time fan of both Alison Krauss and Led Zeppelin, I was delighted to receive this album as a present. However, despite the obvious musicianship of both singers and their fine accompanists, Robert and Alison sound like two soloists rather than a duet to me, turning what might have been quite interesting material into something rather boring.

Seventh Tree

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Goldfrapp

Release Date February 25, 2008
Am currently playing this to death! Love, love, love it, maybe even as much as Supernature. Our favourite song is Clowns and my husband keeps playing it over and over again!! It's a great album to chill out in the sunshine to. It lifts the spirit and makes you feel all floaty like :-)

Home Before Dark (CD & DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date May 12, 2008
It cannot be denied that Neil Diamond is a damned fine songwriter and possessed of a striking baritone voice that make his melodies and lyrics even stronger. But too much of his work has been shadowed by chronic over production; a glitzy, Hollywood style from a man in a sequinned jumpsuit more suited to, well anyone, but not to a man capable of writing and performing such compelling songs and who performed with The Band in The Last Waltz.

Enter Rick Rubin with 12 Songs who cut the arrangements to the bare bones just as he'd done with Johnny Cash. The effect was startling as the stark emotion in Diamond's voice was allowed to take centre stage. It is understandable then that Neil Diamond would want to reprise this partnership in the hope of receiving ... Read More:

Scouting For Girls

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Scouting For Girls

Release Date September 17, 2007
I have listened to this album over and over many a time and it has not lost my interest at all, i love every single song. Each song is its own, not the same at all. If you liked the singles then this album is for you, there is only better to come. Buy this now!

Accelerate (digipack)

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: REM

Release Date March 31, 2008
I have to agree with the minority here. I believed the hype and bought this album hoping for a return to the well produced and memorable sound of vintage REM. How disappointed I was. All this album does is continue the dull, droning non-melodic sound of a band who took the corporate dollar and invested it in mediocrity. These days I tend to give a band two chances - two boring releases in a row and that's it for me! For some reason, with REM I kept giving them another chance as I honestly cannot think of a single song they have written since 1994 that I would want to listen to. Accelerate is no exception. To compare it to Monster is a joke. It's nothing like. At least Monster sounded like fun. This one sounds like they're trying too hard. And failing! The production is appalling. ... Read More:

Lessons To Be Learned

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Gabriella Cilmi

Release Date March 31, 2008
This is a very good pop album sung and performed in a manner very alike Sofie Ellis Bextor. There are whole range of voices being used on this recording ranging from the afore mentioned Sofie to Sinead O'Conner. The fact that Gabriella has this range is a true complement to her but, on the whole, the album is all very predictable.

Good party pop.

Consolers Of The Lonely

...Lite Zeppelin.

Which isn't necesarily a criticism.

While this record won't change your life, it may well brighten up an afternoon.

I listened to this expecting the worst and it is like someone has rolled back time. This could well be their best album yet.

Love it.

The Trick To Life

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: The Hoosiers

Release Date October 22, 2007
When The Feeling came out they were just different enough from the current mainstream to make an impact; it's almost a shame The Hoosiers weren't signed first. To say the two are similar would be an understatement though it's something neither band is ashamed of. They both state similar artists as influences and both have a more than accidental tang of ELO about them, particularly here with Mr.A
So basically the albums enjoyable to listen to, pretty much all the songs are a good standard and extremely catchy and as a band Hoosiers may be slightly better than the Feeling with one or two songs. Definitely worth a listen.
