Beautiful South in general Reviews

You know you should never analyse a joke because it is no longer funny?. The same is true of music, too much alcohol and friends round means it gets interesting. But you know you can't work out what makes it great it just is. TBS are the most underrated band in the music industry. I was almost amused to see in Q their ...

What can i say? Simply superb to start with. I can openly admit that I am totally addicted to The Beautiful South, and once you have brought a couple of albums I'm sure you will be to. They have notched up 17 top 30 singles and 7 top 5 albums this is just a little bit of proof to back up the addiction. To find out The Beautiful South ...

NOTE: This opinion is not on the Beautiful South in general, but on their latest album, Solid Bronze - Greatest Hits, which does not currently have a catergory on dooyoo. Hope nobody minds. As a long term fan of the Beautiful South, I was concerned when they released their first Greatest Hits - Carry On Up The Charts in 1995 - that their ...

Maybe they were formed in the 80's, but before glancing over and Beautiful south albums in your record store, stop and take a look. It's probably the lyrics and titles that will strike you most. Quirky, yet amazingly thought-provoking, the Beautiful South have a dedicated following of more than 500,000 fans all over the world. ...

I was really introduced to The Beautiful South when I won tickets to see them perform in Bridlington in 1998. During that gig I realised I actually knew a lot of their songs, but didn't actually know that it was them who sang them! After this gig I got into the band big-time, I have all their CD's and whenever they release a new ...

A brand new adventure for the 'South - a double album jam packed of A-side quality tracks. From the first single 'Closer Than Us' to hard hitting 'Half Hearted Get (Is Second Best)', moving back to the traditional grounds of sexual politics ('Masculine Eclipse' is a particulary fine example) Painting it Red brings ...

I am not a fan of the Beautiful South. I find their music, pretty dull, pretty uninspiring, and generally a bit poor. Their tunes kind of plod along, with the only really catchy part being the vocals, and I can find little in their songs to make me want to listen to them a second time. That said, they have great deal of followers, so to avoid ...

There are two types of people that like the beautiful south, and a whole lot more who don't. Of the people that like them, you're either a beautiful south fan who enjoys their music, or a TBS fan who LOVES their music. And the person who loves their music, tends to love their lyrics too. Because TBS aren't just about ...

This is a great band, I don’t know what it is about them but I just can’t help but love there music. I bought their album, which was in the bargain bin due to poor sales. But when I started listening I found that it was a brilliant album from a brilliant band. Although they have a distinct sound none of the tracks are radical, but this ...

The Beautiful South have been around for years, originally being called the Housemartins and featuring Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook. They have produced numerous albums over the years, and their singles are always VERY unique and original. The are never predictable, with songs such as "The Table", all about a table, "Perfect ...

This album is great. It takes a while to get into but after a while you love it. A bit like a new pair of jeans. I think that the lyrics are really good still havent figured out what window shopping for blind is really about though. Feel free to enlighten me. Beautiful South have been around for a while and have produced many great songs, eg; ...

The Beautiful South are probably one of the best bands of recent times; this is because of the wide variety of influences in their music, and the talent of the members of the group. Their sound is very hard to describe because it is so varied but there are elements of pop in the interplay between three lead vocalists, the basic rock ...
