Like any other band, they had to tour the album, but there was one minor hurdle; the band&#146s members- Noodles, 2D, Murdoc Nicalls and Russell... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~225823067780 Sat, 8 Apr 2006 07:01:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_225823067780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197874388612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - Picture the scene: two people, both claiming to be huge fans of ‘real’ music, are watching highlights of a summer music festival on television. The next band up consists of four visibly overweight, not conventionally attractive people, but the song is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197874388612 Fri, 7 Oct 2005 10:05:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197874388612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185145396868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - This is the fifth studio album from Jack and Meg White, the Detroit pairing of no confirmed relationship. It continues their mission for world domination and is not only the follow up to their best selling 'Elephant' album but also their live DVD 'Under... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185145396868 Fri, 3 Jun 2005 16:53:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185145396868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181374914180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - In 2002, Beck Hansen wasn’t having the best of times, the primary reason being a split from his long-term girlfriend. The result of this break-up was the album ‘Sea Change’ described by many as ‘melancholy’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘heartfelt’. I just found the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181374914180 Wed, 27 Apr 2005 13:31:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181374914180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176483176068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - When people think back to the now-infamous mid &#14590&#146s surge of British bands known as &#145Britpop&#146, they may think of bands such as Blur, Oasis, Pulp et al. Not many people remember the group of Scousers known as Space, which is surprising... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176483176068 Sun, 13 Mar 2005 11:35:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176483176068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170567962244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - In 1967, the Beach Boys were at the top of their game; the album ‘Pet Sounds’, considered by many to rank amongst the greatest albums of all time topped the charts across the world and the band were touring non-stop. That was, apart from one member... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170567962244 Fri, 21 Jan 2005 14:05:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170567962244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_164993601156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - The formula to writing a successful Streets-style song seems pretty easy upon listening- for the verse, take a chord progression that lasts approximately four bars, loop it about four times and narrate stories of everyday life using simple rhymes.

Iron, on the one hand, indicates that an item is heavy. A butterfly is probably one of the lightest creatures in the world. Iron Butterfly is also the name of a 60'rock band that follows these descriptions to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~164571614852 Thu, 9 Dec 2004 09:05:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_164571614852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158643097220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - I don&#146t know anything about Groove Armada. I&#146m not sure where they&#146re from, and I couldn&#146t name you any members of the band. I&#146m not really into dance music that much, although I do rate Moby and Fatboy Slim quite highly.

In fact, it is impossible to review this album without mentioning the band&#146s colourful history, all thanks to co-vocalist Peter Doherty. Firstly, he... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154382405252 Sat, 4 Sep 2004 13:31:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154382405252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_148284477060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - The four piece that are the Beta Band came mainly to prominence after their track &#145Dry the Rain&#146 was featured in the John Cusack movie &#145High Fidelity&#146.

In fact, one of the most commonly used phrases is probably something along the lines of &#145(Band name) are the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146533617284 Tue, 6 Jul 2004 13:34:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146533617284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_142319783556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - When the White Stripes came into the UK mainstream with their third album ‘White Blood Cells’ in 2002 the most debate was not sparked around anything musically; it was more to do with the relationship between its two members, Guitarist and Singer Jack... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~142319783556 Wed, 2 Jun 2004 15:55:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_142319783556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138683977348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - By 1996, Oasis had dominated a fair few things- the &#145Britpop&#146 tag, Britain and the 1990&#146s to name but three. They had released three albums- &#145Definitely Maybe&#146, hailed by many as the greatest debut ever, &#145(What&#146s the Story)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~138683977348 Mon, 3 May 2004 12:36:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_138683977348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138004369028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - For the last few years many bands have come out of the US (Sum 41, Blink 182 etc.) claiming to be &#145punk&#146. Nuh-uh. If people want punk, the Libertines will give &#145em punk just like in the old days. This is the sort of band you could go and see... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~138004369028 Mon, 26 Apr 2004 11:25:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_138004369028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133320380036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - After buying the low key album 'Mutations' I didn't know whether to buy the next one. But as soon as I heard first single and album opener 'Sexx Laws' I knew it was a must. This is the first track and indeed the first highlight of a quite eclectic... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133320380036 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 13:49:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133320380036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133319396996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - Before I start, I would like to assure people i bought this album before it so deservedly won the Mercury Music Prize. Good words to describe this album would be 'magical' and 'enchanting'. it has all the flow of the water that Damon Gough so often... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133319396996 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 13:41:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133319396996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133301505668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ollieh19 - Some cynics may say, from hearing the singles that Electric Six have released so far, that they sound a bit ‘samey’. And from hearing the album, they would be proved correct. The album kicks off with one of those singles; ‘Dance Commander’ sees... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133301505668 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 09:05:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133301505668?linkin_id=8003929
