Gossip in the Grain

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Ray LaMontagne

Release Date October 13, 2008
What an absolutely magnificent release this is.From the soulful,upbeat strut of the opener "You Are The Best Thing" all the way to the hushed beauty of the title track which closes proceedings , Ray and his cohorts simply never put a foot wrong.It is ,i believe, a modern classic and a firm contender for Album Of The Year .
I came to this release with no knowledge of this guy's previous work , i'd heard his name and read about him but never got around to checking out his music. I cannot therefore tell you how this new work compares to previous releases , what i can tell you , without doubt , is that this is a CD i've been playing constantly for the past 3 or 4 weeks now and i've never got bored yet , in fact it just seems to get better ...

Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House, Ann Arbor Mi Nov 1968/+Dvda

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Neil Young

Release Date December 08, 2008
I received a promo copy of this at the weekend, I always look forward to hearing anything by neil young and this was no exception. Looking at the track listing its a mash of old buffalo springfield tunes and songs due to be release on his first solo record.

what you notice on first listen are the sparse arrangements and also how good Neils vocals sound, something that was lacking on Neils first album as it was lost in the mix.

The best thing about the album are the moments between the songs, hearing Neil talk to the audience about taking drugs when working in a book store for two weeks, or towards the end when he asks for requests... how I'd love to see neil live and him taking requests!!

The main problem ... Read More:

For Emma Forever Ago

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Bon Iver

Release Date March 24, 2008
I'm puzzled about all the 5 star reviews here. This record does not deserve 5 stars. It's slightly above average and that's it.I couldn't decide between 2 and 3 stars.

The last 2 songs are the best, particularly "Stacks". Otherwise the singer's voice can be annoying and the songs, in general, have a deeply somniferous effect...like watching a very slow arthouse French movie.

Circus [Deluxe Edition]

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Britney Spears

Release Date December 01, 2008
Having listened to this album a few times, I am beginning to really like it. The better songs on the album are 'Circus' - which I predict will be massive when released, 'Kill The Lights', 'Out From Under' and 'Shattered Glass'. My favourite track is 'If You Seek Amy' - I agree with the other reviewers that this is one of Britney's catchiest songs ever. If it's released as a single, along with a decent video, I reckon it could go to No 1 both here and stateside. There is one track I definitely wouldn't recommend and that is 'Mannequin' - I understand that Britney's trying to mix it up with this song, but for me it just doesn't sound right. Overall I'd give this album 4 out of 5. I completely disagree with some of the reviewers about the album being ... Read More:

Britannia High

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Britannia High Cast

Release Date November 24, 2008
This soundtrack has most of the songs from the first five episodes that we've seen so far, including: 'Start of Something', 'Missing Person', 'Watch This Space', 'Fight Song' etc...

'Start of Something' is a different version, as the female vocals are missing. You can still download the TV Version from iTunes though, so it doesn't really matter. I just wish this CD included 'I'm the Man' and 'Get Over Yourself' - hopefully they'll be made available eventually.

If you like the show and the music in it, then I highly recommend you buy this CD!

This is Alphabeat

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Alphabeat

Release Date June 02, 2008
A cracking modern pop album that doesn't take itself too seriously or try to be anything it isn't - no po-faced deep and meaningful "message" here and all the better for it. Think somewhere between a Roxette that isn't trying so hard to be cool and a grown-up high-school musical without the schmaltz and you're about there. Don't think you don't like pop because you can't stand the bubblegum warbling that infests the charts - this is how it should be done.
