| Didn't think much of the tunes when I first heard them, which is always a good sign. After a few listenings it's suddenly just come alive. Ecellent! |

| It's pretty damn good.
And to think that these guys have been away (as The Verve, of course), for over a decade, I think it's time to ask 'where the hell have you been'? 'Forth' took me by surprise. I HAVE read many negative reviews about this album, believe me (including some on here), but reviews mean opinions. Simple as that. There are some absolute corkers on here, including the rousing 'Love Is Noise' in particular. I understand how it could put some people ... Read More: |

| This compilation album needs little introduction as it has sold a zillion copies or something ;), and there is a reason for that. Nobody, not even The Beatles have created a finer collection of pop songs. Pop is often sneered at by some hoity toity music lovers, but there is no need. A finely crafted 3 minute pop tune can be just as meaningful and exquisite as any other piece of music. The tunes Bjorn & Benny created will live on forever, and the girls singing stays in your mind so very easily.

| is this any good, yes. would it be any good without damon albarns name on it? yes but surely wouldn't make the light of day on western charts. its a great opeara score and the good thing is even without having seen the show, its easy to imagine how track names complement the music.. worth buying, still undecided. |

| 'The graveyard shift' in radio are those late late hours when all good folk are tucked up in bed and Alan Partridge-esque DJ-s are playing undemanding soulful muzak to factory shift workers and long distance lorry drivers.
Now Radio Norwich listeners whiling away the wee small hours can find a new selection of Eva Cassidy songs bulking out the tired and unimaginative playlists of their tired and unimaginative Djs. Without wishing to be too unkind to the late Eva Cassidy who certainly had a fine voice and who recorded some ... Read More: |

| Cilmi has a characterful voice, but her album is let down by poor quality control. 'Sweet About Me' is undeniably great, and the ballad 'Safer' is well above average, but much of the rest seems like autopilot Xenomania to me - too many tracks sound like the ones Girls Aloud left in the wreckage after a ram-raid on the studio. The bonus cover of 'Echo Beach', a proper song with a memorable tune, only shows up the fluffy filler that precedes it. |

| It's a brave band that tries to recreate that mid-90s indie sound. Infact, if you think back to recent years, most bands would rather hark back to the 80s, so when Alphabeat came along, basically trying to reproduce the feel of 90s Scandanavian indie (which let's face it, gave us brilliant bands like the Wannadies and the Cardigans), I have to admit I was very excited.
Thankfully, the album lives up to the obvious hype it generates. 'Fascination' could easily have been a Wannadies song, right down to the slightly punky 'the word is on your lips' ... Read More: |

| Sadly someone obviously suggested to Robert Plant that this would be a good idea....recording a (mostly) countryesque album with Alison Krauss. They were wrong!! I have no problem with Plant (or anyone else for that matter) trying new things, but please..... this was a bad idea that should have stayed just that.... an idea!! Why on earth so many people feel the need to heap praise on this album is beyond me - it has no redeming qualities to my ears whatsoever - even if Robert Plant is involved.......come to think of it that old story of the Emporer's new clothes ...

Nineteen of ABBA's best songs are plenty, but you won't tire of them. It is amazing that four Swedes (Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus as writers and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog as the main singers) could take such simple English cliches and turn them into pop music magic. Despite sometimes maddeningly simple lyrics, the song arrangements were unnervingly catchy and the multi-level layered compostions are fascinating. The keyboards and synthesizers were used in some of the more ingenious ways during the seventies to produce that unmistakeable ... Read More: |

| I had high hopes for this and I like the choice of songs. However, the CD is spoilt for me by its over-bright and compressed sound. |
