My Albums

As I'm listening to it as I write this page (and the previous one) I'll start off with the new Five album Invincible:

Invincible by Five

TRACKS:
01: IF YA GETTING DOWN 02: KEEP ON MOVIN'
03: DON'T WANNA LET YOU GO 04: WE WILL ROCK YOU
05: TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY 06: YOU MAKE ME A BETTER MAN
07: INVINCIBLE 08: IT'S ALRIGHT
09: SERIOUS 10: HOW DO YOU TELL
11: EVERYDAY 12: MR Z
13: SUNSHINE 14: BATTLESTAR

55: (HIDDEN TRACK) INSPECTOR GADGET

This album is better than their first with the songs If Ya Getting Down and Keep On Movin' (which have both been released as singles) giving you an idea of the type of music on the rest of the album. I love all the songs but hidden track is bloody annoying as it wrecks havok with my random track thingy on my CD player. Keeping in mind that the first two songs do give you an idea of the whole album don't let that make you think that this means the whole album is repetative: it's not.
From me this album gets 4.5/5.
It will appeal to anyone owning the first album as it continues their feel for the music along with it appealing to anyone who have liked both of the released singles.

My other CD on hand is an East-17 one which I'll start to review:

Up All Night by East-17

TRACKS:
1 Innocent Erotic 2 Thunder
3 I Remember 4 Do U Still
5 Gotta Keep On 6 Ghetto
7 Looking For 8 Best Days
9 Don't You Feel So Good 10 Free Your Mind
11 Right Here With You 12 Someone To Love

13 It's All Over

This is my favorite East-17 album. The first to tracks Innocent Erotic and Thunder are my fav songs off this album. I love the sound of the whole album and I beleive (this was the last album done by them) that you can hear how much they progressed from their first two albums.
As it's an East-17 album I have to give it 4.99/5 (ok, I'm a high rater, deal, ok?).

Now I'll do another of my favorite group's albums.

Steam by East-17

TRACKS:
1. STEAM 2. HOLD MY BODY TIGHT
3. LET IT ALL GO 4. SET ME FREE
5. STAY ANOTHER DAY 6. AROUND THE WORLD
7. LET IT RAIN 8. BE THERE
9. M.F. POWER 10. GENERATION XTC

I love this album but it contains the only two songs out of ALL of their music: Stay Another Day and Around The World. It's not as calm and soothing as the following album, Up All Night, but it's definately still good and shows progression from their first album, Walthamstow.
It gets 4/5 from me.

Walthamstow by East-17

TRACKS:
1. HOUSE OF LOVE 2. DEEP
3. GOLD 4. LOVE IS MORE THAN A FEELING
5. I DISAGREE 6. GOTTA DO SOMETHING
7. SLOW IT DOWN 8. I WANT IT
9. IT'S ALRIGHT - THE GUVNOR MIX 10. FEEL WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE
11. WEST END GIRLS - FACES ON POSTERS MIX 12. GOLD - PAWS ON THE FLOOR
13. DEEP - DARK MIX 14. SLOW IT DOWN - LIVERPOOL MIX

This is better than their following album, Steam which is both shorter and with fewer songs that I love. This album contains my all time favorite song: It's Alright. I'm searching for the single of this song and if anyone in Melbourne has it and will sell it to me, or knows where I could get it, please tell me! I like all the songs on this album and for a first album this is excellent.
4.9/5 - I love it.

Around The World Hit Singles: The Journey So Far by East-17

TRACKS:
CD 1:
1. HOUSE OF LOVE (PEDIGREE MIX) 2. DEEP (BREATH MIX)
3. IT'S ALRIGHT (GUVNOR MIX) 4. STAY ANOTHER DAY (S.A.D. MIX)

3. HOUSE OF LOVE (WET NOSE DUB) 4. DEEP (DELTA STEAM HOUSE OF FUNK MIX)
5. GOLD (PAWS ON THE FLOOR) 6. DO U STILL? (WILDCHILD VOCAL MIX)
7. STEAM (OVERWORLD HAZE MIX) 8. DEEP (THROAT MIX)
9. LET IT RAIN (PART ONE PRESSURE REMIX) 10. SLOW IT DOWN (SPEED IT UP)

This CD's great. It's got all the hits from around the world (as in the title) plus a mix CD of excellent songs.
3.5/5 as most of the songs are on other CDs (only 2 of the original songs aren't on other albums).

Resurrection by E-17

TRACKS:
1. EACH TIME 2. SLEEPING IN MY HEAD
3. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT 4. BETCHA CAN'T WAIT
5. ANYTHING (INTERLUDE) 6. DADDY'S GONNA LOVE YOU
7. I'M HERE FOR YOU 8. AIN'T NO STOPPIN'
9. FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN 10. WHATEVER YOU NEED
11. COMING HOME (INTERLUDE) 12. I MISS YOU
13. ANOTHER TIME 14. LATELY

This album is the first album out from E-17 since they broke up however many years ago. They, even without Tony Mortimer, have proven with this album that they've still got it. And I'll buy any other albums they manage to make (if any following their not so big success in their home of the UK).
3.9/5 as those interlude's are bloody annoying. (Read the lyrics and see the album cover here)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album

TRACKS:
1. Nerf Herder: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Theme 2. Guided By Voices: Teenage FBI
3. Garbage: Temptation Waits 4. Velvet Chain: Strong
5. Hepburn: I Quit 6. Furslide: Over My Head
7. Bif Naked: Lucky 8. Black Lab: Keep Myself Awake
9. K's Choice: Virgin State Of Mind 10. Superfine: Already Met You
11. Face To Face: The Devil You Know (God Is A Man) 12. Kim Ferron: Nothing But You
13. Alison Krauss & Union Station: It Doesn't Matter 14. The Sundays: Wild Horses
15. Four Star Mary: Pain (Slayer Mix) 16. Splendid: Charge
17. Rasputina: Transylvanian Concubine 18. Christope Beck: Close Your Eyes (Buffy/Angel Love Theme)

For a TV program's album this is excellent! For an album this is still excellent. For a complomation album this is still excellent! This is an excellent album with great music. Often these coplemations have a lot of songs that you think are so-so or down-right bad but these aren't. I love them all.
4.8/5 cos there aren't many background, non-lyrical songs (only the last track) and I like these : (
