I will be the first to admit I am a new LP fan. After acquiring an iPod and pumping it full of my favourite music (Mostly rock) I set about looking for new sounds and came across Linkin Park. After purchasing Hybrid Theory I was hooked. The rawness, the lyrics, the rhythm... man it's all good! Meteora was just as excellent purchase and when I found out about this CD/DVD I couldn't resist. I have a number of music DVDs and DVD-Audio compilations and this ranks at the top with the best of them. Playing it on a dedicated surround sound system with the volume up is the best way to experience it. It's energetic, loud and packed full of their best music, and the sound quality is on a par with a studio recording. The opening song, "Don't stay" just ... Read More:

There seems to be a trend at the moment in R&B for dancey tracks - 2008 already evidencing this in the form of smash hits from Rihanna (Don't Stop The Music) & Chris Brown (Forever). And so, here comes Ne-Yo with the first single off his third album in as many years and it's obvious as soon as that relentless beat kicks in this was a number 1 in the making.
What makes Closr such a success is that it blends the laid-back vibe of past tracks like Because Of You and So Sick with a newfound energy that results in something slick, modern and fundamentally catchy + Ne-Yo's vocals are on top form. And while i think i prefer the more soulful melodious feel of those two aforementioned singles, Closer is a ... Read More:

Peacefrog are a very interesting label; you never really know what you are going to get from them, but above all else you know that it is going to be different. This is no exception- lovely warm vocals, beautiful piano and synth lines, smooth beats and atmospheric effects. There is nothing here that you haven't heard before, Little Dragon are not forging ahead into unchartered musical territories (hence the 4 stars), but what they do, they do very well.
There are loads of sounds and styles represented in this album, too many to list really, but if like me you enjoy a wide variety of music, from folk to funk, electro to dub, psych to jazz, ambient to rock, reggae to techno, and you enjoy taking chances buying albums that you haven't heard ...

but then that isn't really saying a lot is it? 50 run out of things to say after 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' so now we have to hear about how he blows his undeserved wealth. Those lamenting the death of hip-hop should dig a little deeper, it's still alive and kicking, just dont expect it from the g-unit camp.

As far as I'm concerned, "Witness" is THE British hip hop anthem; a razor blade-ripped cyclone of a track, ideal for Roots Manuva to rap about beans on toast over (yes, it's that lyrical reference again). The rest varies from quite good to good. "Ital Visions" and "Evil Rabbit" predate Burial by a good five years when it comes to transferring the atmosphere of a rain-soaked London night into sound; in fact, save for the intro, the whole 60 minutes is loaded with heaviness, with mechanical clicks, robosynths and even the occasional sample (there's like 2 on the whole record...), with a sound not unlike Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein. Like that album, of course, this also should've been condensed, but I applaud Manuva for choosing such a threatening and distinctive ... Read More:

OK so where to begin? Rather than give a blow by blow disc by disc review I thought I'd just sum up/review the entire thing as a whole.
For long term wrestling fans like myself, most of the songs on here will be recognisable. Granted if you read the track listings there may be some you don't know but I'm pretty sure you'll listen to it and go "Oh yeah now I remember."
A lot of other reviews will mention a lack of their favourite WWF/WWE theme and personally I would've liked to have seen Demolition, Virgil or even Brutus Beefcake on here but a quick look at the WWE rosters since 1988 at least tells me that there are thousands of songs WWE had to choose from. The sheer fact they were able to pick only 3 CDs full is progress for a start. ... Read More:

The bought this album recently and can't stop playing it, if your new to the chems it's great to acknowledge and appreciate the beauty and technicality of pure music innovation and orinality!]
I used to be into my G*A back when the Vertigo album came out, but then moved on to the Goodbye Country.
Vertigo is a classic album in my mind now, goodbye Country only an average album so went off G*A.
But, when I got the Soundboy Rock album, it re-kindled my love of the groove (even though they have totally moved on from the other albums).
If you like one song off this album, but are not sure about the album, buy it. You won't be disappointed!
