I LOVE VIOLATORRRRRRR. Such an amazing album and one of my favourites, I am so mad for years and years the only Depeche Mode song I listened to was Just Cant Get Enough. How could I let myself miss out on experiencing Violator?? Am I stupid?? From start to finish it's amazing like World in My Eyes is such a good opener, Sweetest Perfection is just great. Personal Jesus SLAPS so much like the start of that track is amazing and it just gets better as the track goes on.

A great compilation album, a fat one at 39 tracks / 2 and a half hours long.I can't complain about a few tracks that I'm no entirely keen on like South of the Border being included because it's not like their inclusion has kicked out the ones that I do like. This really does have everything, I don't think there is a track that I really liked that isn't on here. Everything Changes by Take That is a good closer and I think it's cool that he has enough good stuff to ... read more
Decent compilation of his best tracks, the alternative versions are nice but I didn't really notice any difference. I think I might slap this on in the future to save myself picking out the tracks that I really enjoyed.
Strong is a strong opener, haven't heard that song in years but it's still as jolly as I remember it. No Regrets is good and had me going "wait isn't that the guy from Pet Shop Boys" Millennium and Phoenix From the Flames are great because they are proof that this is a big improvement from his debut album, Strong and She's The One may be the familiar singles I recognise and love but there are other great tracks in the album instead of just mediocre ones.

Opening with Lazy Days which is a bit too popslop of a track that I'm not too fond of, the two tracks after are alright and then BAM hit with Angels. What a track. South of the Border is just eh and Old Before I Die barely scrapes by. Baby Girl Window is an alright closer. Hello Sir is a nice secret track especially for a debut album. Let Me Entertain you is another one that's a highlight, it's just weird how everything else is not on that level other than Angels. Maybe I am ... read more
Good but nothing more, I dislike his vocals on some of the tracks but the instrumentals make up for it. Somewhere Down the Crazy River is a stand out track but that doesn't mean I like it more, American Roulette might be the only one I liked more than the rest. It's just alright, nothing more nothing less.
It's much cleaner but that's unsurprising as most of his work is around the 90s, as much as I wanted tracks like How Could I? to be more cleaner like this I do think something is lost. The tracks are good, none of his are bad, but there just isn't really anything that sticks out in this album for me except The Truth Hurts Too Much I like a bit more than the rest. With his other albums there were multiple great tracks but this is just good. Not a terrible thing but I just know ... read more
All of the tracks are very full of life, at this point I think I am a fan of Roachford because all of his tracks have been consistently good. I really like Crazy Love that track came out of nowhere for me and amazed me. the edition with the bonus tracks has a cool version of River of Love which I quite enjoyed.
Although his other albums have felt more consistent this one is probably my favourite so far because it trades consistent good for a couple great tracks, that's not to say that the tracks I don't love are bad they are just average Roachford. The Way I Feel is a strong opener, How Could I? would be great if it was a little cleaner. Down, Time and The Flow are just great. I feel like I have heard Down before somewhere but that could just be my dad playing this one day a while ago.
Very great vibe from this album, there isn't a single miss in it and it's one of those where I feel like I could easily fall in love if I had it on repeat enough. It's like a sandwich because the middle is the best part of it although the final track is great too. Only to Be With You, This Generation and Higher Love are my top picks from it.
Just straight up great, I had doubts that it wouldn't be that amazing and the catacombs thing would just be a gimmick but they delivered. Although it is only 29 minutes long with 5 tracks and an outro it is so worth watching/listening to and I have had it on repeat all day. I highly recommend watching the film before you start listening to it in the background.
The track picks are really good, when I first saw them I was like "grr how dare they not play the ones I like" but I am ... read more
It's good. Bookending with the title track is sweet. I like the first half a bit more than the second but I don't think any of it is bad, just the vibes of the first few tracks are a bit better. I can see why my dad bought more of his albums because it's just more of the same in a good way.
A good album, Cuddly Toy is a great track and without looking I can already guess that it's his most popular. This album is the only Roachford CD that is from my mum, I guess my dad listened to it one day and decided to buy the rest of his discography and I can see why he would. All around pretty decent although a few tracks failed to grip me.
It's okay but it's just not as good as she could be, Woman is the only track that I thought was good and the other ones were either alright or just "eh". I don't really have much to say because I don't think it's bad nor can I pinpoint why I don't like it that much other than I am just disappointed coming from Raw Like Sushi.
Buffalo Stance and Manchild are amazing songs, insane thing to open on for your debut album. It's a really good album with a bunch of fun tracks and I do enjoy that she switches from rapping and singing track to track to really make everything feel unique. I think I had a more positive view of 3-5 on my first listen but on this one still good but not as much. Whilst I think all of the tracks are great I do feel like the first two tracks are a league above them. Love Ghetto I think is a bit ... read more
One of the most important parts of the game is British Sea Power's soundtrack, it's an extremely fitting soundtrack and I don't think they could have done anything better other than having more tracks. A few of them use the same melody and are only slightly different and I don't mean the different versions of Whirling-In-Rags because each of those are very fitting, I mean The Field Autopsy and Burn, Baby, Burn being the same song but different versions. I don't think ... read more
I bought this album on a week where I had a couple of interviews and obsessively listened to it, obviously playing MANiCURE before a job interview wasn't a working good luck ritual because I am still unemployed. I am thankful to myself that I bought this album though, Non-Stop Pop in GTA V having Applause was the only reason I bought it and it's crazy how much that virtual radio station has shaped my taste in music.
Do What U Want featuring R. Kelly is possibly one of the most ... read more
Easily one of his best songs, I think this one might be the single that introduced my friend to Antoha MC back in 2019. No clue what he is saying but it slaps and it's one of those songs I could never get bored of. Everything about it from the change at around the 2:50 mark to the outro puts a smile on my face. I can see why that one person put it as the background music in their Counter-Strike video and I am so thankful for them doing that leading to the domino effect of me listening to ... read more
I am not Russian, do not speak Russian or even like Russian people that much due to their attitude in CS:GO. That being said, this is easily one of my favourite albums and is such a mood, no clue what he is singing about and I don't really care because it's just that good. I don't think it's nostalgia talking otherwise I would only put this on once in a while just for the emotions, the fact that I have genuinely no clue what he is singing about and still love it is surely ... read more
Just feels dated to me, something that I feel like I would defend if I had any connection to it but it's just another CD that my dad has. The start of Get Off had some promise but I didn't like the rest of the song, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Out of the Darkness and Don't You Ever are good. It might also just not be my thing but I still think it was worth listening to.
