Be Somebody 11. Cold Desert Already on course to be one of the year s biggest sellers, Only By the Night has sealed Kings of Leon s unlikely position as Britain s favourite American rock band. The Followill brothers (and cousin) have always been tagged as part of a southern rock tradition of family bands such as the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd, a label they vehemently refuted. But the skinny lads certainly looked like a classic rock act, even as they took musical inspiration from indie contemporaries The Strokes and eighties new wave acts such as The Cure and New Order. Only By the Night is effectively a sequel to 2006 s terrific Because of the Times, their third record and the first where they nailed their own sound, a striking amalgam of bluesy vocals and post-punk primitivism. In comparison Only By the Night consolidates rather than advances their style. The appropriately incoherent Sex on Fire, already a chart topping single, is catchy but sounds lightweight next to songs like the fierce Crawl and the stadia-r... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (47) Girls Aloud Price: £8.90  (27 available)

Love Is Pain 9. Miss You Bow Wow 10. Revolution In The Head 11. Live In The Country 12. We Wanna Party The album title, Out of Control, is of course a misnomer-- if there is a more in control, empowered, dominant and disciplined pop tour-de-force out there, then Girls Aloud must still be sassier and brassier and a whole lot noisier, because we re not noticing anyone else. And this is also possibly the most restrained, or at least sleek and refined, collection of songs from the Girls yet. There are a couple of deeply pulsating off-the-peg club floor-fillers in Turn to Stone and The Loving Kind that embody an out-of-body hedonism, poised retro pastiches like the gliding and punchy The Promise and sassy rhythmic Love Is the Key, then up-tempo 80s-flavoured ballad Rolling Back the Rivers in Time, direct steamy pop of Fix Me Up and brilliantly on the button infectiousness of Miss You Bow Wow. The fluency is palpable across such a range of subtle twists and turns, their confidence such a given they don t ever need to force the point. This is album number five and although it s impossible to f... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (8) Stereophonics Price: £9.00  (36 available)

Prostitute 17 years in the making and beholden of a level of hyperbole verging on mythology--one that couldn t even be derailed by Axl Rose staffing his ever-changing troupe with people named Buckethead, Bumblefoot and Brain--Chinese Democracy would disappoint even if it arrived in a puff of smoke and nullified the impact of The Dark Side of the Moon, Revolver and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (not to mention Appetite for Destruction). And it doesn t do that, obviously. In fact, straight off the block it s in danger of rear-ending the Guns N Roses legend, with the title track offering little beyond big production and Shackler s Revenge and Better emulating Linkin Park s industrial block building with a guttural vocal that threatens to turn the whole thing into a parody. But a desire to progress the G N R template finds its feet as If The World unfolds into an improbable eastern drum n bass orchestral trip-hop odyssey with some coarse riffing and the attitude of old is run through Pro-Tools and made ... #Fantastic debut album from The Axl Rose Band      (2008-12-04) Ok, I approached this album tentatively. Appetite is probably my favourite album of all time but this is not the Guns of old, and should not be looked as such. This is Axl s own project, and he has showed that he can do it on his own. The sound is different but it s still rock, ok it s grand, complex, over the top rock but the feel is of the kind of music that made GnR famous and has not been heard, with the exceptions of a few bands, since the early 90 s. So why do I like this album, well: Axl sounds great, there s hard roc... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (9) The Priests Price: £7.93  (32 available)

Be Still My Soul #Excellent choice of music      (2008-12-02) The choice of programme was excellent. The voices of the three Priests, although, I think, untrained, were brilliant. What ruined this for me was the constant background of the Vatican Choir (the heavenly chorus). To my mind they added nothing, in fact, in some songs, they out-sang the three priests and, again, to my mind, they ruined the songs. Listen to any other cross-over band, in particular, Il Divo, Amici Forever, etc, - no heavenly chorus in sight. The Priests can stand alone so why don t they? The Vatican Choir did not help th... |
