First grabbed my attention with an appearance on one of the late nights. Shades of Amy and Adele
depending on the track on this album. A late comer to these shores as her first album in 2009 was not
even released here but went to #9 in her UK homeland, and receiving a nomination for the Brit Awards.
This follow up brought her even greater success there with a #2 showing, and opened up some ears over
here, but we're slow to catch on, only making #170. Five singles have been released with the first
one, Picking Up The Pieces faring the best at #7 in the UK. Nothing I don't like on this album with
the only cover, INXS's Never Tear Us Apart, getting the worst, only because it's a cover. Four love
tracks with that leadoff getting the best.

THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH "welcome to the beautiful south" cd, 1989

when UK group The Housemartins split, Norman Cook went off to become Fat Boy Slim, the remainder became Beautiful South...
this is their debut set...still have the melancholy type vocals of the previous group but themusic for the most part is like Housenartins in their quieter moments...
still tuneful,melodic and catchy...
this one made it to #2 on the UK charts and went platinum out there, three singles lifted off this one "song for whoever" made it to #2 in the UK, "you keep it all in" #8, and "i'll sail this ship alone" #31...the second single was unlucky not to be my favourite track here, instead giving it to "woman in the wall"..
this band released ten studio albums, eight of which made it into the UK top10, before they split due to "musical similarities"...LMAO!, their previous group, Housemartins, split after two albums citing "chart success" as their reason for parting ways...either these guys are very strange or have a weird sense of humour!

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: straight in at 37
best track: woman in the wall

tracks:

1. song for whoever **
2. have you ever been away? **

OASIS "dont believe the truth" cd, 2005

the Gallagher Brothers' sixth album...(they released seven in all)
for themost part this is an uninspiring piece of monotonous,repeatative drivel...its like these guys had, had their run and were running out of ideas...which i guess must be true as principle writer Noel Gallagher only wrote five of the eleven tracks on off here, two of those are brilliant IMO including the UK #1 single "the importance of being idle"...which has very distinct Kinkd overtones to it...
all up, there were three singles lifted off this one, "lyla" which made #1 in the UK and #22 out here, the one mentioned above, and "let there be love" which reached #2 in the UK...
the album obviously reached #1 in their homeland, made the top10 in Australia and Canada, and made the top20 in the US...
interesting to note that Ringo's son Zac plays drums on this album...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: love like a bomb
best track: the importance of being idle

tracks:

1. turn up the sun **
2. mucky fingers *
3. lyla **
4. love like a bomb *
5. the importance of being idle ***
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jySfU10IQu4 video
6. the meaning of soul *
7. guess god thinks im abel *
8. part of the queue **
9. keep the dream alive *
10.a bell will ring *
11.let there be love ***

PUDDLE OF MUDD "life on display" cd, 2003

Kansas alt rock band's third album, and onlyone i own thankfully!
has a bit of a Pearl Jam feel happening here at times...not exactly rock and not exactly grunge neither, just a confusing mess at times...
album starts off okay but by time i was halfway through it was getting way too monotonous and predictable for my liking...
album made it to #20 in the Sates and #90 in the UK, three singles lifted off it also, none of which are my favourite here, tracks 1,2,5 were the singles,only track #1 made it on the US top100, and only the same track entered the UK charts(#55)...
not really my thing, but i think SteveO might appreciate this band...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: bottom
best track: change my mind

eight likes on here, five i dont like, gives a score of 1.6, and i think that was being generous!

from the album:

"change my mind" **
