Advantages: The Architecture, the staff, the selection, the atmosphere
Disadvantages: If it doesn't get changed to being called Macy's, then NONE!

...The flagship store of Marshall Field's on State Street is an experience that few should miss when visiting Chicago. As the advert from the 1970s says "Marshall Field's IS Chicago". For well over 150 years Marshall Field's has stood for excellence in retail shopping, as the first Mr. Field believed that women should take pleasure in the drudgery of shopping. He believed that his employees should "give the woman what she wants" - the precursor to "the customer is always right", and he also instated the first ever return policy. Field's is Chicago and the world's first department store is the cornerstone of that great city. Unfortunately, this is all soon to change, since the famous sign on State Street that reads, simply "Marshall Field's & Company" will soon be changed to… Macy's! This is a total affront to all of Chicago and all... Read review

Advantages: Good storyline and full of entertainment
Disadvantages: Same as any old action thriller

...I was at the video shop with one of my male friends, and he persuaded me to watch this film with him. He convinced me that it was a great film despite it being an action packed, masculine film, and I’d love it. I didn’t really have a choice, anyway….. he was paying! FRONT COVER: Tommy Lee Jones I stood in an assertive pose, with a steely white gun in his hand. You wouldn’t want to mess with him! There are additional small snapshots of Wesley Snipes, looking sternly from under his cap, and Robert Downey Jr looking a little er…..constipated! QUOTE: “If you liked The Fugitive you’ll love U.S Marshals” DIRECTED BY: Stuart Baird PLOT: Mark Sheridin has been mysteriously arrested for something he has no clue about doing. Samuel Gerade has been ‘sent’ on holiday due to malpractice within his last job. They are both... Read review

Advantages: Some good built in effects, great tone, very loud!
Disadvantages: Steep in price, could annoy the neighbours!

...There comes a point when playing guitar that you grow out of certain things. Like that starter package that seems so basic to you now. Like that little amp that seems so, small and unworthy for your new found talent. This is the point where you decide you want a bigger, better amp! But where to start? What to look for? Which brand? I chose this - the marshall valvestate vs65, built in digital fx, and a huge 65 watts of power! If you haven't heard of marshall then let me tell you they are pretty famous in their line of products. If you watch top of the pops or something similair there will probably be a Marshall amp wall in the background somewhere. So you know you are buying quality. <looks> This amp looks amazing. simple stuff really, but it works well, marshall really give attention to detail here. A nice gold theme... Read review

Advantages: Dependable sound and reliability.
Disadvantages: They're huge!

...This is the standard Marshall 4x12", rated at 300W. You cannot get a better looking speaker cab. The Marshall is a classic. The standard version comes in angled (A) or straight (B) formats, which are identical except for their shapes. The 1960A/B cabs are switchable for stereo operation (where the signal is split between the two vertical pairs of speakers), and also operate at various impedances, so you can match it perfectly to your Marshall head. These cabs produce a large amount of bass response, due to the closed-back design. If you're using one as an extension cabinet to, say, a 1x12" combo, you will instantly recognise what a difference this makes. The Marshall sounds fantastic, even when you're playing a relatively crap head through it. The 75W Marshall/Celestion speakers break up at just the right point, and don't sound boomy... Read review

Advantages: pure genius
Disadvantages: homophobia

...Eminem, so called because his real name is Marshall Mathers, (M and M, get it?) is one of the most contraversial rappers of our time. If you can look past the contraversy, the explitives, homophobia, violence and sexism you will see the work of a genius. His second album The Marshall Mathers LP(2000) was the follow up to his debut album The Slim Shady LP(1999). He is part of a group called D12 (dirty dozen) and is well known as the "white boy" of rap. The play list for the Marshall Mathers LP is as follows: 1. Public Service announcement 2. Kill You 3. Stan 4. Paul 5. Who Knew 6. Steve Berman 7. The Way I am 8. The Real Slim Shady 9. Remember Me? 10. Im Back 11. Marshall Mathers 12. Ken Kaniff 13. Drug Ballad 14. Amityville 15. B**** Plaese II 16. Kim 17. Under the Influence 18. Criminal... Read review

Advantages: Very Cheap For a Marshall : ) Portable and Simple
Disadvantages: Batteries Won't Last Long

...The Marshall MS-2 is the smallest amp I have ever seen and it can be taken anywhere to use as a practice amp. The MS-2 is so small I have had people ask me if it actually works and then be amazed when I plugged it in, it is so small you can attach it to your belt with the clip on the back! If you ever wanted an amp to carry around with you and practice with then this will be a good purchase. Even though the amp is so small it is actually quite loud. It would not be loud enough to practice with friends on 10 watt amps, but its enough to practice alone. One problem I experienced was when turning the volume up on the clean setting the sound becomes a bit distorted - the sound quality is so much better at the lower volume levels. The amp does actually have the Marshall sound, when comparing with larger amps I found the sound... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, Range of features, Sound is good for combo amp
Disadvantages: Effects are limited in their control

...I have been playing through a Marshall MG50DFX for about 3 years now and would reccomend this amp to any begginer/intermediate player who is moving into playing in a band or doing some small gigs. This amp offers a lot of functionality at a decent price, the 4 effects;(and one which s a combination of two) delay, chorus, flange and delay/chorus as well as reverb. When combined with the two channels offer a lot of scope to radically alter your sound right from the off from thrash metal sounds to some warmer, jazzier tones. Sound Quality: As you would expect from a Marshall Amp, (even the lower priced products in their range) the sound quality is pretty decent. Whether you play with single coil pickups or boosted up humbuckers you will find decent playing sounds after a few minutes tweeking. What stood out for me for a combo... Read review

Advantages: Great value for money, LOUD, superb quality and a few effects chucked in
Disadvantages: None I can think of after 3 years!!

.... The channel and effects can be turned on and off using a handy foot switch provided with the amp. I would recommend this for everyone who needs a little more umf and range of sounds. Its also a litlle smaller than the other marshall amplifier stack ranges so very easy to move, I can pick each part up on my own. Its never gonna be as good as the main marshall amps...but hey...it looks and feels like any Marshall stack ;-)... Read review

Advantages: It has a lot of feeling and some good tracks
Disadvantages: none

...This is the second of Eminems two albums, the first The Slim Shady Lp was the better of the two, The Marshall Mathers LP is still a good album. I think that this one is more detailed and Eminem is expressing his feelings more. Like the first one, this album is filled up with service announcments and phone messages. There are 19 tracks on The Marshall Mathers LP, about 4 of the 19 are short messages. 1. Public Service Announcment: This, like on the first album, is a short announcment to start the album. I don't like it and is not something you want to hear everytime you listen to the CD. 2. Kill You: This is about how his mother tried to turn him against his father. Kill you is about the law suit in which Eminems mother sued him. Emimem uses this song to slag off his mother. It is a good track and I always listen to it when I... Read review

Advantages: great songs, great lyrics
Disadvantages: not enough songs :)

...The Marshall Mathers LP, is Eminem's 3rd album and easily his best. This album is brilliantly produced by Dr. Dre. Eminem is quite possibly the only rap i like, i'm not a fan of it. But Eminem has a skill that is undeniable. There is many many tracks that you can listen to over and over and over again and not get bored with. The skit's are really funny and this album has some of the best lyrics i've ever heard. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 1. Public Service Announcement 2000 - The usual way Eminem introduces his album, a funny skit. 2. Kill You - The first great song on the album, one of my favourite tracks 3. Stan feat Dido - Everyone knows this song, and again another great song 4. Paul - Another skit again funny 5. Who Knew - A good song but not remarkable 6. Steve Berman - Another good skit 7. The Way I Am... Read review
