Great new songs, Who said the 80's were bad anyway? 
Needs a few listensBit if a shock for current Dandy's fans Lots of well known songs, Popular artists, Mainly good live performances Some weak songs in the middle Beautifully written and performed songs The lack of uptempo tracks might put some people off Catchy lyrics, good guitar Song of my love is awful Very easy to listen to, contains some good songs, a classic Maybe a little bland here and there Classic songs sung beautifully, great instrumentalists and orchestra For me - none!Crime Pays - Cam'ron
A few big tunes Inconsistent
Scale-a-ton - DJ Paul
A few big tunes Horrorcore holds it back
Trailercana - Antsy McClain & The Trailer Park Troubadours
Fun with good values A few tracks don't seem to reach the band's potential
Primary Colours - The Horrors
Still better than a lot of other rubbish this year! Too much noise, too slow and basically a Joy Division rip-off
Folk & Roll - Kormorán
Amazing sounds and range of songs Some of the folk vocals are a bit twee
About What You Know - Little Man Tate
Well penned songs that sound catchy The lad seems to talk about nooky in most songs
Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy - Little Man Tate
Over-produced, little direction Still a few good numbers
School Was My Hustle - Naledge and Double O Are Kidz in the Hall
Hip-Hop & Rap - 2007

26 songs, great stupid lyrics, some pop-punk gems A lot of filler, some lyrics are just too stupid, won't appeal to everyone
