Coast To Coast - Westlife - decent number of tracks lacking in originality and vitality, all the songs sound the same

Greatest Hits - Eddy Grant - It's as it says on the cover - 'greatest hits', and you're dead if you can't appreciate and enjoy atleast some of the classics Some of the songs aren't too great personally, and some are a bit long or hack. It's also quite happy (sorry T. Yorke...)

Chilled Euphoria Vol.1: Remixed By Red Jerry - Relaxing, Well mixed, Excellent tracks Possibly too chilled

Need To Control - Brutal Truth - More consistent fusion of styles. Less variety as a result.

Getback - Little Brother - Quite original Little Variation

Beyond Fear - Beyond Fear - "Ripper" Owens back doing what he does best. In fact, the only thing he can do. No attempt at originality.
