Green day move into the 21st century

Advantages: great music
Disadvantages: a feww fillers

...GREEN DAY 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN Years ago when I was a lot younger than I now find myself, I discovered a band that made me excited made me feel music could be fun, id never really enjoyed music till this point. That band was obviously Green Day, with their punky take on pop music I was hooked like musical heroin. Well over the years this band grew up, as did I. First album on the turn to the 90?s,?1039 smoothed out slappy hours? was simple yet very effective punk pop which made me jump around like a loon. They followed this with a punky master class taking hints from all the greats but blending in their own soft sloppy pop, and guess what, it really worked, following the success of this album Green Day were signed to a major label a big no-no to many fans but to me it meant more money to make great music. They followed this...

Review of 21st Century Breakdown [PA] - Green Day

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day. Exceeded expectations.

Advantages: contrasts between songs, number of tracks
Disadvantages: none

...Having preordered this item on iTunes, I anxiously awaited May 15th, having been a diehard Green Day fan for 5 years now. The introductory track, 'Song Of The Century', I had heard clips of previously on Green Day's website. Despite being only 58 seconds long, it intrigued me with the way it sounded as though it was being played on a low quality radio from a distance. '21st Century Breakdown', sharing the title of the album, is reminiscent of American Idiot's 'Jesus Of Suburbia', and brings an upbeat and cheerful start to the album, despite the deeper message of the song. Having been previously released as a single, 'Know Your Enemy' is a simple, catchy song using only 2 chords for the main riff. It is of a similar sound to 'American Idiot', which strikes me more as punk rock than the alternative that iTunes has branded it as...

Review of 21st Century Breakdown [PA] - Green Day

Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown Album Is Simply Brilliant

Advantages: Catchy, long lasting, quality songs that will provide musical entertainment long after purchase.
Disadvantages: It has an ending

...Green Day's most recent album had many skeptics when the band first announced the track listing and some samples of the tracks were heard. The critics were worried that Green Day had already peaked with there previous effort 'American Idiot', however they were wrong to be. 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece of highs and lows, taking the listener on a journey through each track. Track one, 'Song of the Century' is a short introduction, that sets the scene well for the main body of the album. The striking chords of the title track then build powerfully into the mini Jesus of Suburbia that track two is. Track three, 'Know Your Enemy, the bands first single from the album is a real fist pumping, drum beat driven anthem, that is sure to be a hit on there upcoming tour. Track four, 'Viva la Gloria' sees a change of tempo...

An average day out at Cricket St Thomas

Advantages: A lovely walk, a few interesting animals
Disadvantages: Expensive, especially as it is over quickly

...Towards the end of the summer holidays we were running out of things to do and getting slightly desperate, so we decided on a day trip to Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park which is located near Chard in Somerset. We have visited the park before, about six years ago, and from memory I think that I was a little unimpressed but we thought that we would give it a second chance. I unfortunately doubt I will be giving it a third chance. ~*~ Location ~*~ Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park is located on the A30, three miles away from Chard. It is signposted from the M5 and also the A303, so it is fairly easy to find. A large sign on the roadside indicates when you have arrived, and you have to drive down a long driveway to get to the car park. There is plenty of space to park free of charge. TA20 4DB for your Sat Nav. ~*~ Entry prices...

Fun & Frolicks in Dublin

Advantages: Fun atmosphere
Disadvantages: None!

...St Patricks Day, 2000. The fun was never ending. Do go if you get the chance. We went and stayed in Temple Bar, flew with Ryan Air for £25 + Taxes and had a ball. St Paddy's Day is the time to visit as everyone is in a carnival mood. There are parades and fireworks and smiles on the faces everywhere. The bars and pubs serve great Guinness - we found O'Neills to be the best - just around the corner from Molly Malone's Statue, near the Tourist Information centre in the Church. A great time was had by all. Well worth a visit - do go!...

Review of St Patricks Day

21st Century and Exceeding all of my expecations!

Advantages: A good mixture of rock and ballad songs. They have treated us with 18 masterpieces!
Disadvantages: None!

...21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's 8th studio album. It was released on May 15th, and after being very impressed with their previous album 'American Idiot' i was expecting alot from them - and they certainly haven't disappointed. Infact, it's a step above in my opinion. The album reached number 1 in the UK album charts. The genre is alternative/punk rock. 1. Song Of The Century (0:57) 2. 21st Century Breakdown (5:09) 3. Know Your Enemy (3:11) 4. Viva La Gloria (3:31) 5. Before The Lobotomy (4:37) 6. Christian's Inferno (3:07) 7. Last Night On Earth (3:57) 8. East Jesus Nowhere (4:35) 9. Peacemaker (3:24) 10. Last Of The American Girls (3:51) 11. Murder City (2:54) 12. Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) (3:48) 13. Restless Heart Syndrome (4:21) 14. Horseshoes and Handgrenades (3:14) 15. The Static Age (4:17) 16. 21 Guns (5...

Review of 21st Century Breakdown [PA] - Green Day

21st Century Breakdown is no let down

Advantages: Good value for money. Quality music throughout. Like idea of three acts.
Disadvantages: Could do with a little more variety. Some tracks maybe a little too long.

...After the raging success of "American Idiot" there was always going to be a lot of expectation in terms of the next Green Day album. With 18 tracks and a running time of just over 69 minutes you certainly get value for money. I also like the idea of splitting the album into three "acts". The album opens with the very short but punchy "Song Of The Century" before we move into Act I - "Heroes And Cons" and the title track itself. At just over 5 minutes it is pretty much what we've come to expect from GD. Next up is "Know Your Enemy". The first single from the album. Although it failed to make the UK Top 20 it is another good quality thunderous track. "Viva La Gloria" has a mellow opening which lasts about a minute before we return to the usual pop/punk style we are familiar with. "Before The Lobotomy" follows a similar...

ST Tropez Autobronzant

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...before you go to bed otherwise it will be horrible to lie in! *End Result* When I wash the lotion off in the morning, I'm greeted with healthy looking golden skin! The colour makes a big difference to my pale skin, if you have darker skin you may need to apply two nights in a row. In the summer I tend to apply two nights in a row to look even more tanned. To keep your tan maintained it is recommended that you moisturise all over your body everyday. This works and helps your tan to fade evenly. If you don't moisturise the tan will wear off horribly leaving white and brown patches all over the place! My tan lasts for about 5 days before it has faded enough to apply again, although if you use a gradual tanning lotion, such as Johnson's Holiday Lotion it can last longer. *Disadvantages* The biggest drawback for me about St Tropez...

One day as I was going to St Ives...

Advantages: very soft skin, easily absorbed
Disadvantages: cannot comment on the firming aspect yet

...You may be aware that I suffer from dry skin. This is probably my own fault due to laziness, I mean how long does it actually take to slap on some body lotion after coming out of the shower. Last week I vowed to myself that I would start taking more care of my skin. I went to Tesco and was pondering over the body lotion when this one caught my eye. ?St Ives Rosemary & Gingko Firming Body Lotion? the bottle said, and priced at only £3.99 for the 400ml bottle I picked up a bottle and put it in my trolley. There is a table on the back of the bottle promising the following results: Immediately eliminates dry, tight skin In 2 weeks skin feels softer and more supple In 4 weeks skin looks smoother and healthier In 8 weeks skin appears visibly firmer and more toned Being the cynic that I am, I did not think that I would actually...
