When Your Heart Stops Beating

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here

...and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release. 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drum beats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to...

Review of When Your Heart Stops Beating - +44

When Your Heart Stops Beating

Advantages: Beautiful melodies and guitar work. Who can forget the drums of Travis Barker!
Disadvantages: None come to mind.

...'ve heard in 20 years". On the other hand, Mark and Travis had said almost nothing about their new band. Angels & Airwaves were good, but they lacked a certain something. (+44) however don't lack anything. A release full of slow moving songs, upbeat jaunty songs, depressing songs and pretty much any kind of song you want. It suits pretty much any mood as long as you pick the track correctly! Although I'm finding it tough to pick, the best songs on the album have to be; Little Death, 155 No, It Isn't, Make You Smile and the title track When Your Heart Stops Beating. If you wondered what happened to Carol after originally hearing her on the demo release of No, It Isn't, she sings a duet with Mark on the track Make You Smile. blink-182 fans will be proud of this and if you are any kind of punk rock/pop-punk fan you should pick up this...

Review of When Your Heart Stops Beating - +44

The Heart is Beating, Louder . . . Louder! But Whose?

Advantages: Short, easy to read and full of mystery.
Disadvantages: A bit too creepy and confusing.

... The Narrator There were not many characters in the story . . . the most important character was the narrator, who Poe kept very private, mysterious and anonymous! He didn?t mention a name, age or the sex of the killer or his/her relationship to the victim . . . The character could be his son, daughter, employee or possibly his wife! But he kept sending us signals about how troubled and unstable the character was by throwing in hints and words. The narrator did all the talking, the action and description. This person was as cold as stone, a HEARTLESS person who ironically talked in a heartbeat rhythm! There were a lot of usage of [ - - ] which shows how nervous the narrator was and how loud his heart beat was! You may feel that the character is very simple but while reading you will discover how dark, problematical complex and SELF DESTRUCTIVE...

Norman Wisdom, You Can't Beat it

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

...ON THE BEAT. = ~Introduction~ ***************** The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film. ~Synopsis~ *********** Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today. Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no. He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness. Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani. Now Norman must...

Review - The Samsung M7600 'Beat DJ'

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

... Samsung M7600 BeatDJ In the past few mobile phone manufactures have managed to dislodge the Sony Ericsson's Walkman range from the top of the pile where music phones are concerned, the only model to come close is the almighty iPhone? Nokia tried and failed with their 5310 XpressMusic handset, as did LG and until recently Samsung didn't quite make it with both the Jet and F400. However, Samsung have not given up on the music phone market - as the release of their latest handset demonstrates, the new Samsung M7600, aptly named the BeatDJ. The BeatDJ takes the genre of the music phone to an entirely new level; it is the first to incorporate a virtual turntable, but is this enough to steal the title of the 'Ultimate Music Phone,' or is this just another gimmick? Appearance At first glance the Beat DJ looks...

Britneys Dance Beat

Advantages: Good Workout, a laugh if you've got your mates round
Disadvantages: Only 5 Songs, the button meter confusing if you've played other dance mat games

...Format: PS2 Price: Around £29.99 Age Range: 3 years + Number of Players: 1 to 2 Dance Mat Recommended, however you can use regular playstation control. After (at 25) having a shot of a friends’ Dance Mat in December, I rushed out and bought my own one, along with one of the other dance mat games. A couple of months ago I bought Britney's Dance Beat and rushed home to play it. Yes, it was great fun at first, falling about all over the place and even better if you've got your mates round and the wine is flowing. You work up a sweat and if you've really overdone it, your legs might hurt in the morning. However, the novelty soon wore off after discovering that there was only 5 songs, which you play in easy mode to then unlock the full version. And Britney’s voice can get a bit annoying with her “you can do it”, “don’t stop...

The Best of the Beat

Advantages: Great beats, great lyrics, brilliant songs - all hits
Disadvantages: Couple of songs not so hot

...To Losing You - one of their more main stream songs, brilliant love song, amazing how many can be done with ska and not feel wrong, great beat and vocal combo. 09 - Hands Off, She's Mine - very The Beat, great hit, but compared to the rest of the album, more middle than top. 10 - Twist & Crawl - lyrics make it a love song, the beat makes it angry, really good for a song about meeting up with someone who broke your heart, but again more average than some of their best stuff, but considering everyone song on the album was a hit...its not bad. 11 - To Nice To Talk To - great song - a reminder how stupid I used to feel as a teenage when faced with someone I had a crush on. 12 - Doors Of Your Heart - my favourite song on the album, great lyrics, vocals and music arrangement, explains why it was a hit. Starts with what feels like a love...

Eat To Blondies Beat

Advantages: Atomic, variety of styles, Debbie's vocals
Disadvantages: a couple of the tracks are rather weird

...This was the first Blondie album I bought and after this, I continued to buy their albums and collect memorabilia on Debbie Harry. This began a love of their music, which has lasted over twenty years so far. Eat To The Beat has twelve tracks on it, with the overall style definitely being rock, but there are some beautiful, deep and meaningful songs in here too. Side One begins with Dreaming, which is a song I used to sing with my friends at school. I still remember all the lyrics, although I don't think this song is generally very well-known, especially when compared to some of the great classic songs on here. Union City Blue is the most famous track on Side One, but was never one of my favourites. But the other smash hit on the album is Atomic, which must still rate as a classic, one of Blondie's best songs and a great track...

Terrorism - Could We Beat It?

Advantages: New Solutions - Technology etc, Use history
Disadvantages: None

...were set off on the London train station as well as one Bus by terrorists that set the bombs off them selves causing the deaths of 52 deaths and hundreds of casualties. No intelligence was known before this happened allowing for no prevention to take place. The reason why I have explained three terrorist attacks from Britain and America is to show that no one knew anything about the possibility of these things happening. Knowing what some of these people were going to do was like knowing that two people in a locked room had a conversation about how long a piece of string is, if no one else in that room how is anyone else going to tell some else about it if those two people don?t talk to someone else about it therefore making it extremely hard to beat terrorism therefore you could conclude that knowledge is power. What can be done...

Heart Throb in the Gym

Advantages: Price, compatibility, size, style
Disadvantages: no timer

...I’m older, fatter and less fit than I want to be, so it’s off to the gym, three or more times a week for me! During the working day, the most exercise I get is altering the angle of my headset or pressing “ctrl alt del” for a hard reset, so it is important that when I am exercising I do not overdo it! This is where my Polar Beat heart rate monitor comes into its own. The transmitter fits onto the chest with a washable elastic strap, and the monitor is in the form of a watch. To activate the monitor and the transmitter, simply hold them close to each other for a few seconds. They both switch off automatically. Your accurate heart rate is displayed within seconds and, with the help of your personal trainer or the Heart Rate Charts (displayed at most gyms)you can work out safely and achieve...
