The Stone Roses

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Stone Roses

Release Date June 13, 2004
one of the most overrated albums ever, not much that's memorable about it, good impression of jangly Byrds style 60's pop, couple of good songs, lots of attitude, nothing much more.

Nine Lives

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Steve Winwood

Release Date May 05, 2008
I just cannot relate to most of the other reviews. "About Time" was very good - but this does not feature one memorable track. I am a big Stevie Fan - right back to the Spencer Davies Group - brilliant musician and singer. However the guy has never been a great song writer - now and then he has teamed up with someone who pushed him on a bit - e.g. Will Jennings but the stuff here is really second rate. May be I am being a little hasty - I'll hang on to the disc, and keep playing it who knows - might grow on me. If you want some recent Stevie and don't already have it - buy "About Time" would be my advice.

Very Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: The Platters

Release Date April 28, 2008
This latest TV advertised set has 20 tracks from the America's first soul group. All the original 50's well known songs are included, except for "You'll Never, Never Know (I Care)". Have they included "You'll Never Know", which is a different tune entirely, by mistake ? However, it's the oddities that make this compilation so intriguing. If you buy the album for Tony Williams smooth lead vocals, you will not be disappointed by the hits and versions of standards like "September In The Rain" and you might even be pleasantly surprised by rare tracks like "I Don't Know Why", presumably with Zola Taylor on lead. Is it a different male lead on "Temptation" and "You've Changed" ? Nevertheless, they are fine cuts. I would have preferred if the version of "Crying ... Read More:

Watershed (Special Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Opeth

Release Date June 02, 2008
I am very new to Opeth (8 weeks). A Death Metal Drummer guy at work said 'try this mr prog rock!' So I did and WOW! I love a bit of cheesy prog truth be told but really love dirges a.k.a Pink Floyd (Animals being their best album in my opinion). But Opeth are something else and now that I have listened to every album many many times, all the time in fact, i think they have become my favorite band! How sad... I dont think i have ever heard a band that has produced so many great ideas per album and consistently created atmospheres worthy of Floyd and then some! The only thing I have a problem with is that I have been working with this guy for two years and he has only just showed me what I have been missing!

100 Hits - 80s

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 15, 2007
There were so many songs that I had never heard before. I thought I was going to know them all so it was very disappointing. I wonder how many were actually "hits"?

Just Another Diamond Day

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Vashti Bunyan

Release Date July 24, 2000
I heard Diamond Day on the TV advert and thought 'that's Vashti Bunyan!'.I hadn't heard the album in years. It was obscure when I first heard it and I never met anyone who had even heard of her. I checked out the website, got all the history and the cd and rediscovered the magical delights of endless summer holidays by the sea, walks in the woods, gypsy caravans, picnics- all the good old fashioned values of pleasure, joy, love & peace.
Gentle, easy to sing along to, quirky rhymes and repeats. This is an album to play to kids at bedtime to ensure sweet dreams.If this works for you then try HMS Donovan as a companion album.

Ballad of the Broken Seas

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

Release Date January 30, 2006
I can only agree with the earlier reviewer, the pairing of Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan is a match made in heaven. Some unkindly dismiss Belle as the 'princess of twee' but not here, that's for certain. There's a strong sense of rhythm dominating much of the music, and wonderful arrangements; False Husband has a terrific Morricone 'spagetti western' sound, a lone guitar with reverb disappearing into some deep well, and then those sonorous tubular bells.

There's a good range of material, nearly all composed by Isobel, who also produces as well as singing and playing quite a variety of instruments. While the singing voice of the album is Lanegan's, it's definitely her project, and one that has real substance.

As the previous reviewer said, the ... Read More:

Started A Fire

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: One Night Only

Release Date February 11, 2008
Bought this on the strength of the Just for Tonight single...one of the few current tracks with a strong melody at the moment. It's so nice to hear a band who can right proper melodic and well-structured songs and deliver them with some passion without sounding as if they are about to have a nervous breakdown/anxiety attack.

My personal favourite is Time but most of the tracks have something going for them...the production by Steve Lillywhite contributes to the overall anthemic feel...there are also a few whimsical retro moments which, suprisingly work well in this context.

I'm told the singer is only 17 so there should be more to come - for a first album this is very impressive.

Definitely worth buying...

X

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Kylie Minogue

Release Date November 26, 2007
I have been a fan of Kylie's since the I should Be so Lucky days!! (I was a small child at the time!)

This album is brilliant. Good Sound all round. What can I say - Kylie's done it again!!! Buy it.

I would also recomed Fever, Impossible Princess (if you like Indie/rock - it shows that you can change your sound from a pop Princess!), Kylie Minogue (white cover) and Kylie (first)

One album of Kylie's I strongly DO-NOT recommend is Light Years. It sounded the same all the way through. If you like Spinning Around get it as a single instead, even if it cost's you more.
