Journey
 Amazing!!!!!!!!, 2010-01-04
I think that this must be the most amazing greatest hits collection I have ever come across!
' Don't stop believing ' had been one of my most favourite tracks forever but I'd never encountered anything else by Journey that was until I stumbled upon this. There are no dud songs just total entertainment throughout. I first played it driving cross country and for once did't care less about traffic jams- I just wanted to hear the next track!! A must buy for anyone out there. One play and you'll be asking Bon Jovi who?!!!

HAVE ONE ON ME, ON A GOOD DAY - IT'S EASY, 2010-03-11
NEWSOM, AS USUAL, PUTS HER UNIQUE SPIN ON MUSIC INTERPRETATION. THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN ON MY PLAYER FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND IS GETTING BETTER WITH EVERY LISTEN, A PURE JOY.
THERE ARE OBVIOUS SIMILARITIES WITH KATE BUSH BUT THAT IS A REALLY GOOD THING, NEWSOM'S HARP PLAYING AND VOCAL DEPTH HAVE HINTS OF CLASSICAL ARRANGEMNTS AT THE SAME TIME IT'S A VERY COMTEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE FOLK SOUND. THIS ALBUM IS SURE TO GIVE ALL LISTENERS MANY, MANY MOMENTS OF BEAUTY AND CHILL AT THE SAME TIME.
AS THE ALBUM TITLE SUGGESTS - HAVE ONE ON ME - TREAT YOURSELF.

Johnny Cash
Fitting Epitaph, 2010-03-06
I've always been a big Johnny Cash fan and there are surely no other singers who can have stayed so relevant over the decades, inspiring and working with artists from all generations. Ain't No Grave is a fitting epitaph to the great man. His voice is much frailer but still has that unique gritty quality; the songs have a sad theme and yet they are somehow uplifting through their gentle simplicity.

Kasabian
Kasabian arrived with a bang and a half early this century, brandishing a slew of ever more dynamite singles and a rigorously assembled debut album that straddled dancefloors and festival fields with monumental ease and a glint in its bloodshot eyes. It was all very post-Xtrmntr, whilst avoiding much of the seriousness that could have entailed. Whether anyone expected them to chase Oasis’ coat-tails with such keenness is by the by now; they have since been ordained as an anthemic rock colossus of the UK rock scene. That has almost certainly gone to their heads and as years and albums pass they move further away from their original chemical reaction and into attempting to elbow their way onto the table of some of the greats--early Pink Floyd (the well meaning, but slightly aimless "Swarfiga"), The Kinks (the blatant "Thick As Thieves", though it doesn’t take much to imagine Noel Gallgher bashing it out either) and The Rolling Stones ("Happiness", see also Primal Scream). West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum finds them in an exploratory mood even if it struggles to lift off like either their own early material or the greats they aspire to emulate. Still, "Fast Fuse"...
A welcome return to form!, 2010-01-29
The first Kasabian album was a classic (one of the best albums of the last decade), but the (difficult) 2nd one "Empire" was a disappointment. This album is a return to the good times and is superb. "Where did all the love go" has got to be one of the best and most catchy songs in recent years. This collection of genius is highly recommended for fans and new-comers alike.

Vampire Weekend
You're the only band in the world to have moulded the fruity shimmering of sun-baked African pop with the leather-jacketed cool of 21st century New York rock 'n' roll, delivered it with the diligence of first-class honours students with tidy haircuts, and become a universally-lauded if unlikely international sensation as a result. You're not about to change your spots now, are you. It should come as no surprise therefore that with Contra, Vampire Weekend have delivered another full length album packed full with the same near-flawless, feather-weight indie with occasional knock-out tendencies as their eponymous first. What may be surprising though is how different a route they travelled to get to that same point this time around. Guitars are banished, or at least faded back in the mix to play textural bit parts and little more. Minimal electronic undercurrents earn a leading role, plugging a live cable into their principal artery and receiving little in the way of resistance from the main body. So the near-yodelling square dance of "White Sky", tip-toe harpsichord dub calypso of "Taxi Cab", Wacky Races jerky surf of "Cousins" and the Strokes-esque 4/4 infectiousness of "Givin...
Love this album, 2010-03-10
I bought this album 3 days ago having loved the first one. I actually heard the track "Diplomat's Son" whilst in a changing room in Next. I hadn't heard it before, but immediately recognised it as Vampire Weekend and thought it must be a new album so went straight out and bought it. On first hearing, I thought the album not as good as the first, but second and subsequent hearings later I absolutely love it too - in fact my next door neighbour is probably sick of hearing it through the walls. The African feel of the music is the stuff you have to dance round the room to - thankfully with only the dog as witness. When the album comes to an end you just feel uplifted and have to play it again. After a long winter, anything that makes you feel happy and bright with a promise of the summer to come (we hope) can't be a bad thing. I could write a load of intelligent stuff about the lyrics, musicianship etc, but so many others have done that already. If you liked the first album, you'll love this and if you don't have either, buy both.

Biffy Clyro
Only Revolutions, the fifth long-player from Biffy Clyro, is a far cry from this Ayr trio’s earlier, reliably embittered emissions. Long gone is the abrasive post-grunge that characterised albums like 2002’s The Vertigo Of Bliss, replaced by polished production, uplifting melodies and a grand, orchestral palette. This doesn’t meant Biffy have succumbed to the sort of blanding out that afflicts so many bands that clean up their act, though--indeed, in many ways they’ve become a more complex, idiosyncratic musical force, touting big anthems laced with creative eccentricity. The likes of "The Golden Rule" and "Born On A Horse" take their cue from Muse, fitting up songs with progressive twists and turns, not to mention some curiously elliptical wordplay. "I pronounce it aluminium/'Cause there’s an I next to the U and M", spits Simon Neil on the latter, over an offbeat keyboard groove. Elsewhere, "The Golden Rule" hitches hectic riffage and gang vocals to an unashamedly epic symphonic outro, while "Shock Shock" channels relationship angst into something cosmically terrifying: "You scratch and you scratch 'til your face comes away, replaced by a hole or a vort...

Jimi Hendrix
"Scraping the Barrel of Gold", 2010-03-11
I've heard most recording made by Jimi Hendrix, so I wasn't expecting much more than very good, but unoriginal and inferior recordings.
What the album really seems to capture is Hendrix between the stage and studio, between preplanned and live playing, two styles many people(perhaps until now) said couldnt be translated. Some of the tracks generally thought to be better live, such as Hear my Train Comin, are better on Valleys of Neptune in studio. Much of what came out on South Saturn Delta is improved in different form. Comparison with previous recordings demonstrates a stage in the creative process which involved intense jam sessions, creating improvisation which would later becomes part of the finished article. For anyone who regards the improvisation as one of the best features these are arguably better versions than the tracks they became.
The other rearkable thing is regarding the lyrics. They are a strange mix of ambiguous and often visionary remarks, with never heard lines such as "And we know there were three continents and they'll rise" or "Gonna be a voodoo child, gonna be a magic boy" reiterating not without significane the meaning one of the most famous lines of Rock, along with more conventional but always interesting blues-style remarks. The new lyrical insights just add to the musical myth.
I wouldnt give some Hendrix albums 4 stars but five stars dosent even cover what this album adds to my record collection. It certainly isn't quality which has kept these recordings unreleased.

Owl City
Ocean Eyes follows hot on the heels of "Fireflies", a sparkling piece of emo-tinged electronic pop that made Adam Young, a bedroom musician from small-town Minnesota, a chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic. Critics have noted the similarities of Owl City to past introspective electronica outfits such as Sub Pop signees The Postal Service, but Ocean Eyes is plainly a brighter, more populist spin on the sound, with colourful melodies, vocals tinted with autotune, and emotions writ large. Yes, it's sentimental stuff-–lyrically, the sort of literate-but-neurotic fare that sounds as informed by the dialogue of articulate indie flicks like 500 Days Of Summer than traditional pop songwriting. "I’ve been to the dentists' a thousand times so I know the drill" quips Young on "Dental Care", a song inevitably less about deep-canal work than matters of the heart. Those with harder hearts may find the overall effect a little saccharine, but it’s inescapable that Owl City has the ear for a tune that can really weevil its way into your memory-–hear how the likes of "Cave In" and "Hello Seattle" recall "Fireflies" in their blend of yearning emotion and crisp, ...
très rafraichissent, 2010-02-20
If you can say that in english, i would say this album is very "refreshing". Electro-pop. The 80's back to 2010. Some part remind's me pet shop boys and Mikka.

Muse
It's not really about the music anymore, is it. It's about the breadth and height of everything Muse do. It's about leaving a jet-stream in the sky. Any tune with a trajectory lower than the cosmos is presumably discarded, with arrangements generally sounding as expensive as battleships (intergalactic battleships, that is). Of course the music is not exactly incidental either; Muse's full-on fifth album The Resistance is packed hard with virtuoso musicianship, rigorous instrumental freak-outs and harmonies beamed between dimensions. It's simply what they do now, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. Long gone are the days of the feisty yet formal English post-grunge band with a falsetto bolt-on. So let the madness commence; "Uprising" gives the Dr Who theme tune a stomping glam makeover, "Undisclosed Desires" is like a prog-rock Justin Timberlake, "Guiding Light" is the sound of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love" being jettisoned into the ether in an escape pod and "Exogenesis Symphony Part 1 (Overture)" is ambitious equal parts 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Flaming Lips and a belting Brian May style guitar solo sent straight from the roof of Buckingham Palace. They...
One of, if not the best album of '09, 2010-02-28
Now I love Muse. Loving Muse as in owning all possible albums and DVD's to do with them, so you could consider me along with a hell of a lot people on the web, a "Musehead". And it's times when an album like this is released, you realise why alot more people should enjoy Muse the way you do.
Muse's The Resistance is a fantastic album in short. It bring's everything from all the other albums that hardcore Muse fans love, but at the same time introduces alot more "Popular" content than in older albums, but like "Black Holes and Revelations", to widen the crowd that appreciates Muse!
Alot of people think that when a band goes "Pop" it's bad, well in this case I disagree, I have to admit that I absolutely adore the new techniques Muse has used, making every listen to this album an absolute treat.
Now I would go in to each track in detail, but I think that would spoil the journey of listening to this amazing piece of work, so all I will say is, buy it! Buy it if you appreciate ANY type of Music, there will be something there for you!
