Now That's What I Call Xmas

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 03, 2008
I kind of trusted on the reviews.Ok there are some great songs on it,the classic but also a lot of rubbish.A great number of songs (even some famous ones) sound like they were recorded with electronic music.
I'm going to look for a cd with maybe less songs but more quality.

The Best Of Joy Division

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: Joy Division

Release Date March 24, 2008
This album features the greatest song ever written or recorded "LOVE WILL TEAR US APART` - The rest of the songs are OK - but `Love Will Tear Us Apart` is a timeless classic, a work of art that I play about 30 times every day...it is playing now as I write this.
The vocal performance of the late great Ian Curtis is pure pop pefection...I want this song played at my funeral along with "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O`Connor and "My Death" by DAVID BOWIE.
Those three songs are better than any tonic, more moving then any hymn or national anthem and give more of a buzz than any drug.
If you dont like Joy Division or New Order - still BUY this album because "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a reason for living...

Yours Truly, Angry Mob

by: Kaiser Chiefs

Release Date February 26, 2007
A musical version of a blocked drain. Takes itself far too seriously. Retentive and overbearing.

Avoid.

The Very Best Of The Jam

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: The Jam

Release Date June 18, 1999
Whatever people tell me about the ramones: i always say that these guys defined punk music. Still today The Jam is a classic band that will always have a place in my album collection. This CD however is overdoing everything. Punk rock albums are usually very short and having to listen to 20 songs that do all sound extremely simmilar can get tedious. More than this I believe that punk bands very designed for live performances: they had a great attitude to live acts which made them amazing to listen to. The CD takes the heart out of this genre and for that i mark it down. Also there are a few songs could have done without.
81/100

The Many Sides of Dave Edmunds - The Greatest Hits and More

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: Dave Edmunds

Release Date September 22, 2008
I wanted this as soon as I saw it advertised on the TV, it is good to listen to and it is worth buying but as usual the best tracks are played on the TV advert, I enjoy the colaboration with Stray Cats and I have played the album more than once but I can't get too enthusiastic about it, overall it's ok.

Employment

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: Kaiser Chiefs

Release Date March 07, 2005
i bought this album after i heard 'i predict a riot'. every song is great, and the lyrics. GREAT sound 4 a debue even. i thought this would be crap , but it's in my top 10 albums of all time now. the album opens with 'everyday i love u less and less' which is one of my favorite tracks of the album. i always listen to my albums either when i'm doing work or in the car and this album worked. If you like the kaiser chiefs or this album u will also like: Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, the gossip and maybe oasis. check out these bands , their worth checking out. the gossip sounds more like 'take my temp' and 'i predict a riot'. But overall if ur a fan of the kaiser chiefs check out these band (deffo). any way GOOD ALBUM GET IT.

Unpromoted which is a shame, Thanks to Amazon This Compilation is easy to obtain. As an OMD fan from thier early days this a must for all collectors. I bought this for the DVD alone but I am sure the Cd will get some use. Excellent purchase for any music fan as this Band have infuenced so many over the years. Great to see them on thier reunion Tour. And may they continue to please thier fans for years to come, Timeless.

The Very Best of Sting and the Police

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: Sting

Release Date February 18, 2002
What can you say about "Best of ..." albums that simply list the hits? Well, as "Best of" album's go, this is one of the best! Nine Police hits and another nine of Sting's as a soloist, all written by the main man himself.

One of the benefits of this format is that it allows you to revisit songs away from the context of the album in which they originally appeared. And so I was able to appreciate just how brilliant "Fields of Gold", "Brand New Day", "Desert Rose" and "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" really are: they are truly five-star songs. But the downside is that you also realise just how annoying is "Can't Stand Losing You".

But that's the only duff track in what is an excellent selection of songs.

Under a Blood Red Sky/Live at Red Rocks (Deluxe CD & DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > New Wave and Post-punk
by: U2

Release Date September 29, 2008
This DVD version of the famous Red Rocks concert has been a long time coming and it does not disappoint. It is great to have the whole concert restored and the missing tracks are so good one wonders why they were ever omitted fom the original VHS version. The most impressive aspect of this release is the improved sound. The bass in particular is awesome, and I can hear phases from Adam Clayton that I have never been able to hear before. Edge's guitar is equally impressive and the whole sound picture is perfetly balanced.

A previous reviewer mentions how this is the last time we see U2 in their original early form before the introduction of sequencers. The Unforgettable Fire album saw the band delve into ambiant, keyboard supported tracks . However, it is ... Read More:
