It's actually fantastic!

Without a hint of sarcasm or irony, I swear, it's one of the best pop albums I've heard in ages. Excellent stuff.

Oasis - Who Feels Love


One of their most underrated songs and definately my favourite. Really beautiful melodies and harmonies.
 
I am a blues man so here are some for you.

So haunting and heart-wrenchingly brilliant, these guys are so passionate with what they do. Listen with caution, it may upset.
 
Just so you know what kind of music I like:

Greatest piece of music of all time, of past, present and almost undoubtedly future.

It's alright, the opening song surprised me after hearing the utterly-crap 'Swagger Jagger'. She's got a nice style, I followed her on The X Factor and thought she had something special going on there, and this album is exactly what I was expecting from seeing her back then. It's a heavily produced album, so I always take that with a pinch of salt, but it's executed fairly well, not riddled with auto-tune but you can hear it's there. It's a surprisingly overall sweet melodic album, if cheesey as hell, the lyric-work isn't that bad at all either. There is some real suckers on this album however, as said, Swagger Jagger is just absolutely dreadful, and Want U Back should've definately been the chosen debut single.

I gave the album a 5/10, I can't wait to hear what else she has in store, but as a pop album it stands relatively enjoyable. There will be haters, mind...

^If you enjoyed Sticks + Stones, I'd definately recommend 'Siberia' by LIGHTS, which in my opinion a much better album. I also gave Siberia an 8/10, which is probably the highest rating I've ever gave an album of this genre.

Check it!:

And just to let you know what something sounds like off a 10/10 album for me is this:

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me is such a stellar album, I demand you either download or pick the real thing up!
 
Just heard this. At the beggining it isn;t great, but then it gets really good:

Best album released this year in my opinion. <333333
The first half of 2011 was a bit slow, but it really wasn't that bad!

I should post some music rather than just winding you up, really...

OK, it's just a generic lead-single, and it's a radio-edit for some reason, but I'm confident of this being in my Top 5 albums of this year.

Well, maybe Avenged Sevenfold should have thought about that before Dream Theater's drummer ran off with them, really...
Actually yes, I do quite like their last 2 1/2 albums...

But still:

But he's likely to doubt your fidelity, violently murder you and then strike up a mildly unhealthy relationship with your corpse...
(And I DO like their later work, we've been through this :p )
 
A7X are gash. Derek Sherinian is win.

Falling Into Infinity :(
And A7X have improved a LOT since that burdenous afternoon in Twickenham 3 years ago...

...also, just checked out Sherinian's cover of Welcome to the Machine. His singing makes Rudess' look good.

True... also the reason why you're WRONG, and Portnoy SHOULD be allowed to write lyrics :p
Although, did Sherinian even write any of that stuff, I've always got the impression that he kind of turned up to fill a MASSIVE void left in the line-up, but his contribution to the album was actually minimal?
