While it gets close to the dreaded "concept album" idea, Mara takes a break from the soft for more upbeat rocky tunes such as "Things That Are", "The Wedding" and "Lighthouse".

Mara - Runrig: Runrig do a Sgt Pepper!! (336 words)

Products similar to Mara - Runrig
12 great tracks which incorporate rock, pop and jazz. 
Is a more serious album than his other works. Lots of tracks and value for money Some classic tracks are missing in place of inferior onesThe Red Light District - Ludacris
Lots of variety with little room for complaints Some tracks get annoying
The Oath Of Black Blood - Beherit
Historically interesting. Several spring to mind.
Simple Plan - Simple Plan
Some super catchy, hugely fun Pop Punk tracks. A couple of tracks fail to deliver.
My Way - Usher
Vocals, music, recording A couple of weaker links
Mafia - Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society
A little less derivative of Ozzy Osbourne. Hardly any songs stand out from all the filler.
Greatest Hits - DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
All of their hits A couple of tracks aren't as strong as the rest
Ear Drum - Talib Kweli
Great lyrics No great beats
Cross Symbol - Justice
Superb electronica throughout, no truly bad tracks in my opinion It is possible that you won't like Justice's uncompromising approach to electronica
Adrenaline Rush 2007 - Twista
Original, fresh to current Hip Hop Not many tracks are that memorable
Drawing Down The Moon - Beherit
Another entertaining early black metal album with classically awful production values. Most songs sound pretty much the same.
