This is a definitive best-of from the scathingly satiric, invariably tuneful band that arose from the ashes of The Housemartins. Sadly, Paul Heaton and friends have always been too twee and clever for the colonies, though classics like "My Book" and "Old Red Eyes Is Back" deserved better. A lovely, sing-along new track, "One Last Love Song," sounds like a farewell to arms, while the limited-edition disc of B sides proves that only XTC can match them in terms of high-caliber throwaways. --Jeff Bateman

Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 5 August 1966, accompanied by the double A-side single "Eleanor Rigby" / "Yellow Submarine". The album was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology to date, building on the advances of their late 1965 release Rubber Soul. It has since become regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums in popular music, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds, and lyrical content.

Let It Be is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up, in tandem with the motion picture of the same name. Like most of the band's previous releases, the album topped record charts in many countries, including both the US and the UK. However, the critical response was generally unfavourable, and Let It Be came to be regarded as one of the most controversial rock albums ever.

Help! is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles and the soundtrack from their film of the same name. It was released on 6 August 1965. Produced by George Martin, it was the fifth UK album release by the band, and contains fourteen songs in its original British form. Seven of these, including the singles "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride", appeared in the film and took up the first side of the vinyl album. The second side contained seven other releases including the most-covered song ever written, "Yesterday".

Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 3 December 1965 in the United Kingdom, on EMI's Parlophone label, accompanied by the non-album double A-side single "Day Tripper" / "We Can Work It Out". The original North American version of the album, issued by Capitol Records, contained ten of the fourteen songs and two tracks withheld from the band's Help! album. Rubber Soul met with a highly favourable critical response and topped sales charts in Britain and the United States for several weeks.

Please Please Me is the debut studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Produced by George Martin, it was released on EMI's Parlophone label on 22 March 1963 in the United Kingdom, following the success of the band's singles "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do", which reached number 1 on the NME and Melody Maker charts and number 17 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively. The album topped Record Retailer's LP chart for 30 weeks, an unprecedented achievement for a pop album at that time.

With the Beatles is the second studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 22 November 1963 on Parlophone, exactly eight months after the band's debut Please Please Me. Produced by George Martin, the album features eight original compositions (seven by Lennon–McCartney and "Don't Bother Me", George Harrison's first recorded solo composition and his first released on a Beatles album) and six covers (mostly of Motown, rock and roll, and R&B hits). The cover photograph was taken by the fashion photographer Robert Freeman and has since been mimicked by several music groups over the years. A different cover was used for the Australian release of the album, which the Beatles were displeased with.

Anthology 3 is a compilation album by the Beatles, released on 29 October 1996 by Apple Records as part of The Beatles Anthology series. The album includes rarities and alternative tracks from the final three years of the band's career, ranging from the initial sessions for The Beatles (better known as "the White Album") to the last sessions for Let It Be and Abbey Road in 1969 and early 1970. It is the last in a trilogy of albums with Anthology 1 and Anthology 2, all of which tie in with the televised special The Beatles Anthology.

Здесь присутствуют практически все элементы, которые мы так любим в творчестве… INSOMNIUM – да, именно INSOMNIUM – других, более возрастных, знаменитых и коммерчески-успешных финнов. С тем лишь отличием, что у «ВолчьегоСердца» чуть более выражена именно агрессивно-дэт-металлическая и где-то грувовая составляющая, а в «Throne Of Bones» пацанята даже заигрывают с ритмическими рисунками в духе MESHUGGAH, ну так, самую малость. Зато в плане эпики до тех же INSOMNIUM наши друзья ой как не дотягивают, хотя совершенно очевидно, что очень стараются.

Альбом Shining, посвященный 23-летию их музыкального прогресса, также символизирует гордость и стойкость группы, демонстрируя их самые яркие и сильные работы на сегодняшний день. Этот альбом является свидетельством творческого наследия Swallow the Sun, в котором экзистенциальные размышления переплетаются с их характерным величественным звучанием.")

Со стороны Vinterriket два трека, которые ранее были изначально на релизе ...Im Winter 2002. Rikket же преподносит свое творчество впервые, схожее с первым проектом как музыкально так и с точки зрения текстовой составляющей.

С новым вокалистом Полом Шортино в 1988 году «Quiet Riot» удалось записать всего один альбом, известный как «QR IV», а после ухода Банали в «W.A.S.P.» проект распался вторично. Тем временем ДюБроу отстаивал в суде своё право на название «Quiet Riot». В начале 90-х ДюБроу восстановил отношения с Кавазо, и при помощи барабанщика Бобби Рондинелли и басиста Кевина Хиллери они реанимировали вывеску «Quiet Riot».

Будто сквозь дебри нойз-рока рождается некто или нечто из крысы прямо в ангелы.Переломный альбом,чистое звуковое насилие Swans первых альбомов обрело новое измерение. перемены в сторону смягчения альбом получился колоссальный,словно большой взрыв.

The second solo studio album by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, released on 26 September 2000 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album contains featured vocal performances by James Taylor and Van Morrison.

Из двух альбомов Гадюки, которые я имел возможность послушать, этот мне понравился намного больше. Видимо, за счёт того, что ребята сдлелали основной упор на классическую музыку (как мне показалось) - и дело не в кавере на Бетховена. Мелодика практически во всех композициях мне напоминала классические произведения: те же переходы, интервалы и т.д. - и при этом мелодии легко запоминаются. И главное: похоже на классическую музыку, но их мелодии живые, а не такие рафинированные, как у того же Мальмстина...

After cutting his teeth as bass player and one of the founding members of Dire Straits, Illsley has also released a steady stream of solo material, an output that, although never rushed, has been critically acclaimed. Undertaking lead vocal, acoustic guitar and bass duties on all of the album’s eight tracks, Illsley’s unmistakable sound, approach to arrangement and song writing is paired with his faultless lyrical storytelling. A departure from the previous album’s themes of personal trials and tribulations, Illsley comments that the lyrical content pertains to “the obvious political and social elements which have always concerned me.”

На следующий год прекратилась и чехарда с басистами, и четырехстрункой завладел Фральда. Студийный дебют этого товарища получился довольно интересным, т.к. на стыке тысячелетий группа перезаписала свой дебютный альбом и выбросила его в продажу под именем "Sistemados Pelo Crucifa".
