Our love comes back
Review of Overgrown - James Blake by
Jennster85
Advantages: unique style
Disadvantages: rapping...
I first saw James Blake at Glastonbury and I bought his self titled album James Blake. His style is incomparable, it’s intense and with high pitched vocals and thunderous backing drums. I cannot think of a band or artist to compare him to; although if you ...

Advantages: Great vocals, reworkings, style
Disadvantages: Might take a while to get used to different style of the covers

Gave Up Their Dreams to Drink Cider
Review of Stereo Typical (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Rizzle Kicks by
Phelthew
Advantages: Some great songs
Disadvantages: Some dispensible songs
When I was a youngster, a pup, I was very limited in my musical tastes. I was a real zealot about rock and grunge style music and considered everything else to be pure pish. Fans of pop music were either little girls or wannabe girls in my eyes and wee pa ...

"who'll hang a noose on the goose-stepping goons from Berlin...".
Review of Captain America: The First Avenger [Original Score] by
FloridaDino
Advantages: sounds great!
Disadvantages: 95% instrumental, may not be for all
I don't tend to buy a whole lot of musical scores from movies. I do buy the occasional soundtrack, but usually because its chock full of songs you already know and like. I do, however, buy soundtracks/ musical scores from quite a few superhero films, as I ...

Devlin - A Moving Picture - A Middle Aged Man enjoys Grime??
Review of Moving Picture (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Devlin by
cr01
Advantages: Good variation and strong lyrics.
Disadvantages: Just a couple of difficult tracks for me.
While I’m always on the lookout for new music, quite a number of the albums I discover are along the same style I played in the 1980s. The same cannot be said for grime rapper Devlin. Despite him being very unlikely to focus his music and song content for ...
