Dark Horse

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Nickelback

November 17, 2008
The first time I listened to my Dark Horse download, it was with on the rubbish speakers of my lap top. I thought I had wasted my money and was disappointed big time, especially since I had just seen them at the 02. The whole album, despite the nature of some of the lyrics, sounded too sanitised and soft, not at all like NB. But then hearing it over a much better sound system, it was WOW. I haven't stopped listening to it yet. Get decent earphones for your Ipod / mp3 too.

Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (Gatefold Digipack)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Coldplay

June 12, 2008
This, for me personally is my favourite Coldplay album yet.
I think they're finding their sound, expressing their personality and experimenting on this album making it much more interesting, daring and individual than X&Y and even A rush of Blood.
I like this new, evolving nature in Coldplay, more of the same please!

Dig Out Your Soul

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Oasis

October 06, 2008
I once heard an interview where Noel Gallagher proclaimed that Oasis, in his opinion, were in the top 3 of bands of all time. On this, and several other albums worth of evidence, it is quite clear that they aren't anywhere near the top 3 of Manchester bands! to say this album is a bit 'samey' is a 'massive' understatement! I was going to re-name them status quoasis, but that would be a great insult to status quo! I would advise anyone to borrow this album before buying, I wish I had, i'd be £8.99 better off now!!

Together

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Salvation Army

November 24, 2008
Hhhmmm - a few negative reviews because this is 1) not completely Christian music or 2) moves away from the tradition of Salvation Army bands and band music or 3) not up to the standard of Army bands and the Staff band specifically.

I'm afraid I can't agree - this is excellent and exactly what the Army should be doing, reaching out to people with something a bit more accessible. Reaching out and providing help and support is the heritage of the Army, after all "Heart to God and hand to man".

Over the last few years the Army and the work it does has become less and less visible, to the point where most people under 30 have no idea who or what the Salvation Army is. As a result this CD is just the sort of marketing the Army needs to remind people ... Read More:

Voices Of The Valley: Home

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Fron Male Voice Choir

November 10, 2008
Another really great offering from this Welsh Male Voice Choir that compliments the previous two. I thought the mix of "easy listening" and traditional choir pieces really set out the talents of this group. The voices are complimented with some beautiful arrangements and orchestrations to make it 45 minutes of sheer joy.

Breakout

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Miley Cyrus

September 01, 2008
From being introduced to Miley Cyrus when she was just a 14 year old girl in Hannah Montana, this really is a 'breakout' from her alter-ego. Although some tracks do have the ensence of the teen-pop sensation Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus shines through with individuality.

1-Breakout - The beat to this song is awesome, however i find the lyrics quite 'tweeny' at the beginning but as you get through the song, Miley Cyrus pulls the song back! - 4/5
2-7 things - a great rock song, a song that you could really get into. what makes it more interesting is its possible association with nick jonas. either way, excellent song that everyone can relate to. 5/5
3-The driveway - Excels in her singing ability, excellent song, very pop/rock 5/5
4-Girls just wanna ... Read More:

Dreamboats & Petticoats 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Various Artists

November 03, 2008
Like other reviewers, I find the origins of some of the tracks somewhat puzzling. The JLL track has already been mentioned, but the rendition of "Sleepwalk" is stated as being by The Shadows (who indeed did record it at one time), but the CD track is, in fact, the original Santo and Johnny version (they wrote it, along with their mum.......)

This shows for shoddy, hasty compilation, and although many of the other tracks are truly filled with nostalgia, I wouldn't want to lose a Pub Quiz night thanks to the mistaken listing on a CD track-list !!

I Started Out With Nothin' and I Still Got Most of It Left

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Seasick Steve

September 29, 2008
I first saw / heard Seasick Steve (Steve Wold) on Jools Holland's 'Later' TV show on the BBC a couple of years ago. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when he appeared on my TV screen. He looked more like a busker than a star in the making, but by the time he had finished his song, I was a fan, along with thousands of others who saw him that night. In short, he blew us all away. He was on the show again recently in order to publicise this new album and guess what, he blew us away again! The star performer.

This album is probably the result of Steve's first appearance on Jools' show and it would seem that Mr Holland has to some degree provided a guiding hand or least support, in it's making...the presence of Ruby Turner (A regular performer with Jools' band) on the ... Read More:
