The Cure - 4:13 dream“not as dark as their previous works but that’s not a bad thing, this really is the band being themselves & though my first impressions were not great I have to admit its really grown on me. I just love the track called (the real snow white).“
Dido - safe trip home“yay dido’s back! And its been a long wait too, I first heard about the production of the album back in 2005 & its been held back at least 5 times since then. What we are left with is a well mixed & sharp sounding piece of work that rivals (life for rent & no angel) no doubt this will be a big seller for Christmas.”
Cradle of Filth - godspeed on the devils thunder“this could be one of their best albums yet, the new line-up meld really well together & the new drummer seems to know his stuff, the subject of the album this time around is the French aristocrat serial killer gilles de rais & yes like many of cradles other works this is a concept album.”
Sarah Brightman - a winter symphony“perhaps the most amazing female vocalist to ever be released on a major label is back in time for Christmas, as the title suggests this is a Christmas album & full of classics like Silent Night & Ave Maria. Though some people might think I’m going to be automatically bias about this album I really have to say it’s a great piece of work & will definitely be getting a lot of playtime from me this season.”
Girls Aloud - out of control
“with a lot of girl bands you either love them or hate them & luckily for this band there is a lot of love to go around, I was surprised that I liked every song on this album because usually I only like a handful of songs. They sound more grown up this time & the songs have more texture & flare to them, I just hope the rumours of this being their final album is not true it would be a terrible shame as they still have a lot of energy in them.”

Lordi - deadache“ha ha yeah I like Lordi & yes I liked them long before they won the Eurovision. I’m not going to say much about this album because really I think it will only appeal to the die hard fans out there..yes they have fans! (monsters keep me company) is a great track as is (bite it like a bulldog) in all honesty this sounds like their best album yet & if you haven’t heard them & are curious this would be a good album to start with.”
The Nightmare - revisited“it seems to be a new tradition now re-releasing this album every year for Christmas & I have to say when I heard about it I immediately had my mind made up on it being just a rip-off.. Its actually not, ok true most of the same songs are on their but it’s the artists that really make this different, bands like fly leaf/rise against/korn & even amy lee make this a great little find for fans of the original movie & of any of the bands featured."
“another SAW movie & another soundtrack to accompany it. As the movies have been a brutal assault to the senses so have the soundtracks & this time around the formula remains the same..Charlie clouser provides the atmosphere with his moody tracks while bands like filter/skinny puppy & testament provide the lyrical assault that SAW fans expect. Its good…but its not that good, the album before it was less dark wave & more metal which really appealed to me - it even introduced people to more unknown artists like Emilie autumn, looks like the SAW franchise didn’t hold up so good this time.”
