The Cure - Greatest Hits

Advantages: All the best songs in one place
Disadvantages: Not worthwhile for the aged-old fan

...channels and maybe it does get the odd bit of 'extra' airtime. (E.g. "Close To Me" being on a BBC Three programme...it's name escapes me, but it may have been the 'Smoking Room'? Answers on a postcard...) Their 'greatest hits' album, released in 2001 through Fiction Records and only done so on the basis that Smith could choose the tracks himself is 19 tracks that show a chronological tale of the band and their music through the years. (Although two of the tracks are brand new!) Opening track "Boys Don't Cry" was released in June 1979, eight years before I was born. Yet with it's instantly recognisable guitar riff it's something that the countless bands since then that have idolised and 'taken influence' from the Cure could take the rest of time to improve on. I believe the saying is along the lines of put some monkeys in a room...

The Experimental -Nokia N91

Advantages: Wide Range Of Faciliies
Disadvantages: Big, Bulky and Heavy

...Well this is a unique phone with special music keys and 4 GB storage disk . It seems quite big and bulky as i've never used such a big phone as the N91. I don't know the excact weight of the phone but it's quiet heavy. It weighs more than a N70 or N73 so normally 80% users won't prefer to use it. The bulk is caused by a stainless steel finish and a flap that covers the keypad. TheN91 can play a number of audio and sound formats like M4A, MP3, AAC, Real V8, WAV ,WMA etc. When connected to the PC, you can choose between three three options-Media Player, Mass Storage and PC Suite. It gives an ok sound while playing audio or MP3 music. It also comes with a huge headset that makes you feel that you are in a recording studio. Speed wise the phone takes quite some time to start and react to functions. It has a reasonable battery backup but it...

Do these biscuits hit the spot ?

Advantages: Quitev good
Disadvantages: I have had better

...I recently bought a packet of Bahlsen hit biscuits. I have one left in the blue packet I am eating this as I write my review. These biscuits are presented in a blue packet which has a picture of a couple of the biscuits on it , there are 250 g per packet. The biscuit is a sandwich biscuit, so I am effectively eating 2 biscuits. The biscuit is a golden brown circle with fluted edges. It has the word hit written in the middle. This biscuit is sandwiched together with a chocolate cream filling. My biscuit being in an opened packet for ages is a bit soft but I know that when just opened or kept in air free pot these biscuits are crisp to bite., The biscuits taste is good it is buttery, reminds me of a rich tea biscuit. The chocolate filling is a mild flavour does not over power the biscuit, it is a smooth creamy chocolate...

Nokia N91

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: After a while the memory starts to go, Big phone

...I had a Nokia N91 on contract about year ago truthfully i only got it because it had 4GB hardrive and saw it was on a offer on 02 well i got it and took it home then put it on charge for 12 hours like it said to. When i Finally took it off charge i was so excited to start playing on it i started to get use to it after a couple of days. When texting it was quite hard to get use to because it hurt your thumb while texting. I had a problem with the software straight away on the 2nd day of having the N91, the phone kept freezing everytime i went on the menu and i phoned 02 up and i told them everything what was happening to see if the could change the phone but they didnt, they gave me a number instead that restarts the whole phone. After i restarted the whole phone i went on my computer and chose some songs well i chose 249 song to put...

Nasty Nas and his Great Hits

Advantages: Most of the hits
Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing

...a title, he is fully-deservant of having a 'Greatest Hits' collection in his name. Tracklistings ---1. "Surviving the Times"--- Album From: - Year: 2007 Length: 4:43 Producer(s): Chris Webber This is a brand new track from Nas and it acts as the perfect set-up for the album to follow it as he talks throught where he has come from and the journey he has gone through to form what we see today. Interstingly NBA star Chris Webber prouced this track and I am impressed by the quality of the music, because it seems to fit in well with the artist and it looks good for him to have found a mainstream MC to ride his beat. **Three Stars** ---2. "Less Than an Hour" (feat. Cee-Lo)--- Album From: "Rush Hour 3 Soundtrack" Year: 2007 Length: 3:16 Producer(s): Salaam Remi This is the most modern track...

Let Collins - Hits ..... Hit You!

Advantages: Quality collection of Phils Greatest Hits
Disadvantages: A few tracks not justifying enough

...hardcore and you all find it hard to believe I know but yes, I brought a Phil Collins album, but not just any album, his Greatest Hits and that's why Collins entitles this album.... the......Hits. Phil Collins was one of the biggest songwriter/singers of the 80's decade and carried on making his career a success right through the early 90's and managed to succeed more with other leading artists such as Brandy updating his ' Paradise ' song. So here's the album, his greatest hit's and why I think you should buy the album! ------------------------------------ - Phil Collins - The Hits ------------------------------------ 01 - Another Day In Paradise In 1989 we had this tune come from Collins and was again to prove to be another big selling hit for him. This tune...

The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

Advantages: Great tracks old and new
Disadvantages: None

...I am a big fan of Whitney Houston, I think she has a beautiful, moving voice that has not been beaten since. I have already done a review on her first album, Whitney Houston but by far my favourite album of hers has to be Whitney, The Greatest Hits! Just a little background on the queen of pop herself incase you haven't heard of her: Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. In the words of Clive Davis, written on one of the booklets that comes with the CD's, "For the next generation, there's a singer that combines the fiery gospel of Aretha Franklin...

Review of Greatest Hits - Whitney Houston

Hits or misses?

Advantages: 18 number 1's!
Disadvantages: Some of the tracks are a bit crap

...Music was very hit & miss during the 1990's, I must admit I didn't care for very much released during the decade but occasionally got caught up in the hype of a few songs now and then. Primarily for me I spent the 1990's protecting the free world (6 years in the RAF) as well as listening to 80's music although enjoyed some of the electronica offered by the rave & acid scene at the time. This album is a collection of 39 tracks all of which were in the UK charts above the top 5 position. Its 2 cds (with 20 tracks on CD1 & 19 tracks on CD 2), all chart positions are UK Singles Chart positions. So whats on the album? Disc: 1 1. Discotheque - U2 (was #1, 1997) To be honest this wasn't one of U2's better songs but fan power got it to the #1 spot. 2. Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams (was #3, 1998) Probably one of Robbie best known...

Nasty On Key In Octave 'N' 'Em And Their Great Hits

Advantages: All the hits
Disadvantages: One average song

...=The Act= Starting off as a group headed by Nokio (Nasty On Key In Octave), with lead vocals from Sisqó and backing from Woody Rock and Jazz, Dru Hill is an R&B group who took over where Jodeci left off with music which continued to bring the most sensual and seductive material that this genre had seen since the eighties. This was the main group until several line-up changes, where by members left and rejoined, and eventually they became a five-piece as the new member Scola was introduced in 2002 as they dropped what is, to date, their most recent album. The Baltimore act had hits since they burst on the scene in 1996, and in spite of Sisqó?s stint as a soloist, they still managed to bring out three albums together up to 2002 (before internal problems prevented them from coming out with any new material aside from the odd leaked...
