Absolution

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Muse

September 22, 2003
This is not their best album, worth listening to, definitely. I would urge you to buy it but if it's a choice of different muse albums go for Black Holes and Revelations. Very good lyrics and the songwriting is upto scratch as usual. Still very good.

Gift of Screws

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Lindsey Buckingham

September 15, 2008
The voice of later day Fleetwood Mac and maker of several great solo albums.

This however aint one of them, to weird for my liking and one which despite several attempts at listening will sit and gather dust on the shelf.

Love Actually

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Various, Craig Armstrong

November 17, 2003
I fell in love with this movie when it first opened in theaters and I loved all the music in it, including the score, and particularly the bit where Colin Firth proposes to Aurelia. But when I bought the CD here in the US, all it had what the popular pop stuff! (I guess they figured Americans wouldn't appreciate the beautiful instrumental music? Probably right actually.) You guys in the UK got the whole deal. It will be well worth the overseas shipping!!

Immaculate Collection: the Best of Madonna

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Madonna

November 01, 1990
Michael Jackson helped out alot on this album by designing a new CD lacquoring process. This made it possible for him to give his free copies of this album back to Madonna without her seeming to notice. Of course Madonna being a bit wise and very old didn't really know what CDs are and now always looks confused. The 'immaculation collection' actually refers to the immaculate homogenised grey appearance of collected belly button fluff despite it originating from garments of differing colouration.

The Very Best of the Beach Boys

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Beach Boys

July 09, 2001
I had of course always been aware of the Beach boys, but being a 17 year old brit, they were never top of my 'to listen list'. However I saw a rhcp cover of I get around,liked it, and decided to buy a complation of beach boy songs to take on my summer holiday. Needless to say they are now one of my favourite bands up there with the Ramones and the Beatles.
This compliation, as an introduction, is really good. It has all of the biggest hits. However going back to it now after hearing the likes of Pet sounds, sunflower and all summer long, I cant help but feel that some of the best songs are missing. The likes of 'Wendy', 'All summer Long', and later masterpeices like 'forever' are nowhere to be seen. But as an introduction, this is really good.

Brothers In Arms

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Dire Straits

June 03, 1996
Just to get more precise about figures:
BIA was certified 9 times platinum in the US alone (without counting Canada or latin America), which means it sold 9 million there.
It sold over 14 million in Europe. (with 4 million in the UK alone - certified in 2000, 2 million+ in France, certified in 1994!)
These figures don't include those of Australia, Japan, the African continent, Russia, the East Countries, Arab countires, Israel...
Remark that these figures approximately date back to 1999-2000. No update has been made since then. They may well have evolved as a consequence.
At the time of release BIA sold incredibly well, to reach a phenomenal 12 million within the 1st 11 months on the market.
The album is reported to have sold well beyond ... Read More:

All The Fun Of The Fair

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: David Essex

September 15, 2008
Not only is someone on the wrong website, it seems they're on the wrong planet! Last time I looked we were talking about the companion CD to David Essex's `All The Fun Of The Fair' musical...not descending into a vitriolic attack on one of our oldest minority ethnic communities. For good or bad, this is a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinions but please express them in an appropriate forum i.e. not this one!

For the record, this is a great collection of Essex material old and new and, while a full cast recording would still be welcome at some point, acts as a perfect reminder of a splendid theatrical event. David has much to be proud of both with the show and the songs on this CD. He has always been sorely under-rated as a songwriter - hits aside, ... Read More:

X&Y

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Coldplay

June 06, 2005
I notice one of the tags for this album is 'music'. Yeah!
Coldplay, whadda they sound like?
well, sort of... music, really.
Whoo! I got to get me some of that!
Yes, it's the sonic equivalent of watching paint dry...

I'm sorry. I don't HATE this stuff. But that's the point... it's so WET. When did people like this get to masquerade as rock musicians? It's bad for you. Your children will grow up thinking this is what a rock band sounds like. Zeppelin who? no, I wanna listen to the guys who go "waaa.. waa... I'm sad and feeble..." When there's the likes of Gutter Twins, Aquila, Rufus Wainwright and The Veils out there barely making a dent, you should not be spending your money and valuable time on this.
