In total this cd carries 21 tracks one or two acceptable, three good and the rest awful. Again not a great ratio for an album.
Disc 3
I had great fears for disc three because usually with three disc albums the third disc suffers badly from running out of half decent track...more |

Being that I wasn't born till 1985 I was lucky enough to miss most of the 80`s and be too young to remember the rest. Unfortunately though my older brother kept playing this rubbish long into the 90`s so I still have painful memories of it. It was my birthday just a few days ago and in her wisdom my gran decided as part of my present from her she would slip in this three cd album of music from the decade I was born, the music is just as bad as I remember. There are far too many tracks over the three albums to make mention of each and every one so I will skim through what's on each disc and leave some sort of over all opinion. Disc 1 This ...

Now That's What I call The 80's was one of the cd's I found in my Christmas stocking this year, all my family knows I love cheesy 80's music so I wasn't surprised by this choice. Initially it seemed like a really good cd, at least on first appearances, part of the Now series and featuring one of my favourite musical decades you would think it could do no wrong, sadly there are too many flaws making this cd a major let down. Consisting of 3 discs and 60 tracks, with a wide range of the decade's finest (and admittedly not so fine) artists, this should have been possibly the greatest 80's compilation of all time. The Now series of albums have in the past been ...

makes a change from pop jnr, good clean tunes for kiddies and adults who have had a few 
The second Cd is hard to follow Beautiful music and vocals, classic tracks, Specialised taste. Lovely music, tracks your toddler will recognise Short, will annoy you after a while Excellent value, consistency of tracks, not mixed If you don't like it, you'll loathe it An excellent band that has released some brilliant albums over the years. The band is currently on hiatus. Beatsteaks having fun, and the crowd seems to like it. If someone recommended this to you as a punk album, you should smash their face in.Violent By Nature - Atrophy
Quite good thrash with crazy Megadeth solo frenzies. Lacks originality or distinctiveness, and starts off on the wrong foot.
Vanity/Nemesis - Celtic Frost
Return to form. Little stands out.
Various Artists - Gilles Peterson
R&B & Soul - Funk - 2003
Urban Legend - TI
His crossover hits are found here Gets a bit too deep at times
Adventure - Furslide
Interesting lyrics, talented band, the odd 'rock - y' song Some songs easy to skip, very underrated band and album
After The Eulogy - Boy Sets Fire
The Album On A Whole None.
Absolute Purity - Alas
Erik Rutan's guitars and Howard Davis' drums are mostly quite good. Weak.
Abydos - Abydos
A great modern metal opera combining the best elements of the style and few of the weaknesses. The concept and lyrics themselves are far from riveting.
Alice In Chains - Alice in Chains
Original, deep, wonderfully-written You won't find singles here if you're looking for them
