In Between Dreams

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Jack Johnson

Release Date April 20, 2005
who the hell listens to this dull, uninspiring excuse for music, it basically consists of a complete TW**!, wandering around strumming nonsensical 'happy' tunes about absolutely nothing, I just dont get it but I suppose its a measure of how completey inane and pointless the current music scene is.

Revelation

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Journey

Release Date June 09, 2008
I have all Journey cd's but I did not know they had recruited a new singer. Honestly if you don't look at the cover you will be fooled into believing that Steve Perry has come back, at least for the first songs. Afterwards the new guy - Pineda - makes his mark and he is a jewel they must absolutely keep: he can really emulate Steve Perry, and brings life into the new songs. And the latter are perfect, seems the Schon/Cain duet has received a lot of inspiration from having this new singer, most of the new songs are really good.
The CD is organised roughly in a "one rock - one slow" song pattern, and it is just great, nothing more to say.
Journey is definitely back in top form, I just HOPE they come to Europe !

Roam to Roam

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Waterboys

Release Date August 11, 2008
I have just bought this reissued and expanded album. Room to Roam had always been my least favourite Waterboys album but I have really enjoyed this. I have played and played raggle Taggle Gypsy Live version till my family have threatened me with sharp implements.
If you liked this first time round you'll love it this time; if you didn't you may just surprise yourself. If you've never heard it before, give it a go. If you are new to Waterboys probably try This is the Sea or Fishermans Blues first

Strength In Numbers

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

Release Date June 16, 2008
I loved the first two albums by the Music but have got to say this is a big disapointment. They have ditched the rock/dance sound for a Level 42/dance sound and on most of the tracks they are using a drum machine which for me just doesn't work. As a result they have lost a lot of the energy from their previous recordings. The best song on the album is the hidden track...which isn't a good sign.
I'd recomend that you listen to a few tracks off the album first before buying as it's quite different from their previous outings.

Songs of Leonard Cohen

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Leonard Cohen

Release Date April 23, 2007
My introduction to Leonard Cohen was on a vinyl CBS sampler which included "Sisters of Mercy". On the basis of that track I bought "Songs of Leonard Cohen" (on vinyl) and many subsequent albums.
As has been said before I think that this album is probably Cohen's strongest overall - there are other gems on many of his albums but no other album contains so many songs which have stood the test of time.
'Suzanne' (and 'Bird on a wire' from 'Songs from a Room') were even covered by Fairport Convention - a band not noted for a shortage of self-penned material.
I tend to disagree with the reviewers who think Cohen is the best interpreter of his music; perhaps at times but generally his voice is the penalty paid for the pleasure of the ... Read More:

Undiscovered

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: James Morrison

Release Date July 31, 2006
James Morrison reminds me of Terence Trent Derby with his distinctive vocals and cut down style,very few musical instruments,often just acoustic guitar and drums.Echoes of Stevie Wonder and chords and melodies that have a passing resemblance to other artists' songs complete the mix.I really like this album but it wasn't one that i liked first time of hearing.It's an album you need to play and let it grow on you.It's a little raw and naive in places and a little like a live recording of a busker on a city street corner.No bells and whistles,just a guy relying and believing in his talent.This gives it some originality and credit to James Morrison on producing a stunning album that may not be for everyone but will be enjoyed by most.Recommended.

1962-1966 : The Red Album

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

Release Date October 05, 1993
In 1980, I bought my first album, and this was it - followed by its twin blue album as soon as I had another £5.49! No one could fault its songs and strengths, but I hereby contest that this selection does NOT represent the Beatles as it could have done.
Why? Well, it's entirely written by Lennon and McCartney (only their 2nd such album, after A Hard Day's Night). Their 1962-6 output was about 20% covers, and Twist and Shout is surely one of the 28 tracks which should represent the group for this period (a huge hit US single and UK EP). Again, Till There Was You could have exemplified McCartney's 'respectable pop balladeer' aspirations (which I do respect).
Interestingly, there are 6 songs from the now neglected Rubber Soul vice just the 2 singles ... Read More:

101 80s Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2007
This 3 CD boxset is crammed full of the greatest hits from the best decade of music --- the 80s!
It makes for a good introduction for anyone who dosen't already own an 80s comp or just for those who want to relive the music.
I wouldn't say that this is the best set to buy on the market, many of the biggest hit singles of the decade haven't been included but all the same, there's enough good songs by some great artists to keep the customer happy.
Recommened!
