As an avid listener to Live Lounge, I found this album in a music store and was over the moon. Lets just say the Live Lounge separates the men from the boys and the girlies from the ladies. It always throws up some surprises. One example is 30 Seconds to Mars (too Emo for me) doing Kanye West (who I loathe with a passion), combine the two together and you get the best track on this CD! Much better than the original. Nelly Furtado sounding pretty darn good as well is another surprise. Kings of Leon sound like a recording and Jo Whiley did say on SEVERAL occasions that it was NOT a recording! Perfection! Jose Gonzalez and Damien Rice words cannot describe! Gossip-amazing (Avril take note!!)
To sum up, great in most parts, highlights being:
Gossip (that girl got voice)
Foo Fighters (best live band in world)
Kings of Leon (2nd best Live band in world)
Jose Gonzalez (silk)
30 Seconds to Mars (Wow.. surprising, he can sing too)
Paolo Nutini (just has to open his mouth and that comes out)
Robyn (touching)
Arctic Monkeys (perfection)
The View (intelligble!!)
Dizzee Rascal (Sharp)
Damien Rice (What u would expect from DR)
But there are a few ropy tracks:
Avril Lavigne (girl cannot find the notes!!)
Mika (cringe!!)
The Fray (what is that all about??)
Maximo Park (Eh???? Not even same song)
All in... worth a purchase.
these two videos will you give an idea about what i'm talking about:
Biffy Clyro Covers Umbrella originally by rihanna
Robyn: With Every Heartbeat
