by: Sam Sparro

Release Date April 28, 2008
I bought this album because I loved 'Black and Gold'. However, I was very disappointed. That track and the first one on the album are the only ones worth listening to. Sam Sparrow whitters on and on throughout the rest of the album and it is real rubbish. Don't waste your money. Sorry Sam, but you have to do better than this.

Good Girl Gone Bad (New Version)

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Rihanna

Release Date June 02, 2008
Ok first off yes this can be seen as a con re-releasing an album but for me i had not bought the original album of Good Girl Gone Bad and im sure others have not either so im going to do a proper review on the album and not saying its a con etc

Ok so whats different about the album you ask? 3 new songs:

Take a bow
Disturbia
If i never see your face again

All amazing songs in my opinion! My fave being Disturbia out of them, great dance song and very catchy i was hooked to it from first listen!

You get 16 songs on this album:

Umbrella:
Lets face it everyone has heard this song with it being number 1 for 10 weeks! Its still a great song but not the best on the album! ... Read More:

Dreaming Out Loud

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: One Republic

Release Date March 10, 2008
I listened to this album on my flight back home as part of the airline's on demand audio. I could not stop listening to it over and over again for almost the entire 13 hours journey. And one of the first thing I did when I got home was to buy this album.

I just simply could not find better words to describe how beautiful this album is.

It has been a while since I come across talent like this. It's just fantastic.

Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Def Leppard

Release Date May 05, 2008
Lets face facts,Def Leppards last good album was Hysteria.This band was what started it all off for me so I still have some respect for them,but like Bon Jovi(which I own nothing by) they haven't put out a solid album since the 80's.If Whitesnake can do it then I'm sure Def Leppard can.
Its a shame because there are so many good bands out there that deserve more attention like Bonfire,Gotthard and Great White to name but a few.Why do people say that an album is good just because its been written by their favourite artist.If its bad its bad end of...I like the Scorpions but their Eye to Eye release was shocking and same goes for Judas priests Jugulator.
I hope they deliver an album for the fans next time and don't leave it too long either.

Songs in A&E

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Spiritualized

Release Date May 26, 2008
I've never been one for the jazz themed white noise thrashouts so beloved of Mr Pierce, but always loved the droney cathedral rock of his earlier days (which I appreciate is just as unmusical to some ears - I absolutely love Pure Phase). Ladies and Gentlemen is undoubtedly his masterpiece (jazz themed white noise thrashouts notwithstanding), but why oh why did I not buy a second copy and keep the first fresh in its pill box?

Anyway, post L&G the work declined. Some decent stuff on Let it come down, but I didn't bother with Amazing Grace. This is a return to form. I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer who said he might need a bit more inspiration when it comes to song titles, but the songs and music are back. I cannot stop listening to Death ... Read More:

Sun Giant EP

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Fleet Foxes

Release Date
I would give this a 4.5 if i could, but being a mathematician I have learned always to round up, therfore it gets the 5 star treatment.
Opens up beautifully and sets the tone for the next 4 tracks.
Mykanos is the stand out track for me and the highlight when I saw them live also.
Basically I would recommend anyone to buy this as I really cannot see what there is to dislike, the harmonies are perfect and the landscapes created by the lyrics are beautiful. Probably stronger than the album but you should just buy both anyway.
That's all I have to say about that.

PS if you get chance to see them live do it. Now

Live Santa Monica '72

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: David Bowie

Release Date June 30, 2008
First off this is truly a superb gig. The track listing is faultless and the performances, though beautifully flawed at times, are blistering. It is a far superior document of the Ziggy period Bowie to the 73' retirement gig at the Hammersmith Odeon.

I already own the 94' official release of this concert on the mainman `golden years' label. I bought this new EMI edition because I had read somewhere that Bowie had remastered the recording himself. He hasn't! Listening to it I cannot really detect any significant differences in sonic quality from the 94' release.

What is shockingly obvious however is the absence of big chunks and small snippets of Bowie's playingly camp dialogue with his audience throughout. Where's his "painter from New York" impression of Warhol ... Read More:
