O.K Computer

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Radiohead

Release Date May 01, 1997
it is over 11 years since i bought this album. i listened to it a few times with no real hallelujah moments. then it clicked. i listened to the album as a whole, i listened to the album with the lyrics sheet open. and then it became the soundtrack for my summer. the memories associated with this album were brilliant but then so was the music. every track is unique, the lyrics are awesome, yorke's voice has at least 5 styles, the guitar play, cut up drums, soundscape are magical. i listened to the album again yesterday and it prompted this review. you must respect radiohead for not re writing the bends but creating something bigger and better. brilliant, absolutely brilliant

Skybound

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Tom Baxter

Release Date January 07, 2008
The more you get into this album the more you realise that it has been exquisitely put together with songs about love and hope.

My only reservation about Baxter is his rather high pitched falsetto voice but there is no denying the poetical feel to the lyrics. This is rock music for the intelligent set. I have an interest in Baxter's work as he comes from Bungay in Suffolk - a town I covered as a young newspaper reporter back in the 1970s.

There is a jazz feel to many of the songs and there will be obvious comparisons with the voice of Jeff Buckley. Baxter doesn't quite have the tonal range of his American counterpart but he always writes literate songs within his vocal range. I have seen him live and he produces a much rockier ... Read More:

The Very Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Aerosmith

Release Date June 30, 2008
Yep, Aerosmith have released many many greatest hits albums. I think this one has the best mixture of tracks of the lot though, a range of all their hits starting from way back. Some fantastic songs.
Highly recommended if you've only heard a limited amount of Aerosmith music, as it'll give you the pick of the best of the rest, and you may well decide to look into their more obscure stuff.

Yours Truly, Angry Mob

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Kaiser Chiefs

Release Date February 26, 2007
I'm not gonna lie - I thought Employment was an utterly brilliant record. It made me quite obsessed with the chiefs that yeah and is still in my Top 20 all time favourite albums which is saying something.

So you can imagine how heartbroken I was when I finally heard this. Yes, it's good but nothing special at all, certainly not in the way the first one was. I was so excited for the record I downloaded bad quality live rips off the internet and loved what I was hearing - a more serious direction with still some great music. But unfortunatley Lightning never strikes in the same place twice and Stephen Street turned those brilliant tunes into something quite bland.

With Employment I listened to a track off it pretty much every day for a ... Read More:

Ultimate Kylie

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Kylie Minogue

Release Date November 22, 2004
Being a Double CD it has numerous songs. Yet despite this, they all seem to sound the same. Even the cat left the kitchen when I played it. Must try to remember that for later. lol. Sorry Kylie but you are tedious. Even 'Madonna' has more variety than you. Wonder if 'Amazon' will print this review.

Clandestino

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Manu Chao

Release Date November 27, 2000
Throw aside all your prejudices against world music, forget the half-baked Robbie Williams cover of "Bongo Bong", and enter the magical world of Manu Chao. Simply a fantastic album, all fits together so well, a beautiful blend of musical styles and influences. Make this the soundtrack to your 2007!

Dirty Dancing - Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date December 26, 2005
I watched Dirty Dancing about 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it. I loved the music most of all so bought this soundtrack. But then I noticed Ultimate Dirty Dancing, which is cheaper on Amazon and has all of the songs in Dirty Dancing! This one has about 12. Rubbish.

10 (+ 3 Bonus Tracks)

CD-Charts > Music > Rock
by: Pearl Jam

Release Date December 09, 2002
I've known of Pearl Jam for many years, but have only heard Vitalogy previously which is OK without any real stand-out tracks, plus the iconic 'Alive' from this album. However, having read the recommendations in Amazon I decided to take a punt and after only one listen I'm really glad that I did. It sounds fresh with great vocals and heavy guitars: classic rock and miles better than the drivel played on the readily-available channels. Chalk one up for the oldies!
