*******************************
* ALBUM REVIEWS BY J.D. *
*******************************
Vitalogy - by Pearl Jam.
A great album from a great band. This features the songs Spin the
black circle, Courdroy, and Nothingman. A great blend of rock
guitars and punky tunes with some very mellow ones thrown in
between. It is very varied, with some excellent tracks. All Pearl
Jam fans must have this and so should everyone else, although some
of the songs are a bit weird, 90% are brilliant. A must have for
anyone into punk rock/grunge. The added book on the CD format is
worth a read, if not a little strange.
Verdict - 85%
Parklife - by Blur.
This album is another all time great featureing songs like Girls
and Boys, End of a Century and Parklife. The theme of the album is
set around the park with some songs containing Wurlitzer organ
music. Overall a good album with a couple of bad tracks, but the
rest makes up for these.
Verdict - 89%
Music for the Jilted Generation - by the Prodigy.
The Prodigy were one of the many rave groups set up in 1992, but
unlike the rest they have not faded away. Their catchy tunes from
their first album, Expirience made them a hit. Now they have gone
into an underground hardcore dance style with some ravey tracks.
There are some excellent numbers including Their Law, No Good
(stop the dance), 3 Kilos, Poison and Voodoo People, which got to
number 5. Get this today, you wont regret it! This is their best
album to date and is great.
Verdict - 95%
Dookie - by Green Day.
An excellent album, my favourite at the moment, with excellent songs
such as Basket Case and When I come around. Green Day are a kind of post
grunge modern punk rock band and have great colour hair! Every song is
excellent, and although they do sound a bit samey, if you like this sort
of music, you will find no faults with this album. A definate must have!
Verdict - 100%!
Weezer - by Weezer.
Another modern punk album and whilst it sounds a bit like Green Day, the
songs are a lot heavier, and also the lyrics are a load of bollocks! This
has the Buddy Holly song on, a hit from a couple of months ago, and is
definetely worth getting.
Verdict - 85%
