Yellow Sun Third top 40 hit this year for Jack White's side band following Hands and their first hit "Steady As She Goes" which recently made the Hot AC top 20 in which Casey Kasem mistaken claim that except for Jack White, the group is from Australia except for Jack Black. I thought the band was from Detroit, MI
October 29, 200620 yr Wez should come back. A Rat on crack would be better than these two t****. I agree http://images.allposters.com/images/153/0887-Roland-Rat-(Unusual).jpg Roland & his posse would probably be more entertaining than Chris Moyles & his breakfast crew. "Yeaaaahhhhh Rat Fans!!!" :rofl:

October 29, 200620 yr Rudebox review Thisispop's review after five plays of Rudebox: http://images.play.com/covers/1112126m.jpg Track 1. Rudebox. A very marmite track, but I love it. It made #4 on my Personal Chart. With its chorus taken from Sly & Robbies' 1987 hit Boops and a very enjoyable rap with brilliant flippant throwaway lyrics. This single suggested that the album was going to be very different from IC. 9 Track 2. Viva Life on Mars. Any track which namechecks my all time favourite song (David Bowie's Life On Mars) and has a Robert Plant-esque (Led Zeppelin) harmonica and banjo playing is on to a winner. A great country feel to the track, albeit reminiscent of Beck. 9 Track 3. Lovelight. At first I did not like this track, as it reminded me of a poor man's Justin Timberlake/Timbaland collaboration. However the first time I heard the track via the video on my surround sound TV with its extra musical sound quality made me realise that I was wrong. Currently #3 on my Personal Chart. 10 Track 4. Bongo Bong - Je ne T'aime Plus I thought I was going to hate it........ but I really like it, a great, fluid arrangement, with good backing vocals from Lily Allen and a very continental flavour. Voila! 8 Track 5. She's Madonna Very Pet Shop Boys, but Robbie does sound inspired on this track, with some great vocals. I love the melody, which is no surprise as I'm a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys (check out their latest album "Fundamental"). Another killer chorus. 10 Track 6. Keep On. This track starts off as if it is another Pet Shop Boys then quickly turns into a very good Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays/Black Grape) pastiche. Lily Allen has never sounded better singing the "I love my Mum & I love my Dad...." hook. This has to be a single at some stage. 9 Track 7. Good Doctor. The first track that I'm less than blown away with. Probably because it's Reggae/Ska Ms Dynamite/Lady Sovereign sound reminds me too much of Lily Allen's disappointing "Alright Still" album. Very funny lyrics, but if EMI had insisted on editing this album to be a killer 10/11/12 track album, then this may have failed to make the cut. 6 Track 8. The Actor. This is absolutely fabulous. Strangely it reminds me of Gwen Stefani solo "L.A.M.B." album. I love the electronic rhythm & beat to this track. 8 Track 9. Never Touch That Switch One of the lesser tracks on the album. It is OK, but the album may have benefited with this track being cut. 6 Track 10. Louise. I loved the Human League 1984 original, and Robbie's vocals suit this modern sounding update perfectly. 9 Track 11. We're The Pet Shop Boys. Unsurprisingly this track sounds like the Pet Shop Boys. However this track is not as strong as She's Madonna, although the Pet Shop Boy's song title references are amusing. 7 Track 12. Burslem Normals. This track is an introspective grower, and the melody is starting to grab me after the 5th or 6th play. However at the moment there are a lot more stronger material on the album. Great instrumentation on this track. 8 Track 13. Kiss Me. In comparison to the Human League cover, his modern re-working of Stephen Duffy's most famous song, falls a little short in the vocals & the production department. A little bit too tacky HI-NRG for me! 7 Track 14. The 80's. My favourite track on the album. This is perhaps the greatest lyrics of his career to date. This has the potential to replace "Better Man" as my favourite Robbie track. The lyrics are brilliant. Any musical snob who tells you that Robbie is not as good as Ray Davies or Morrissey for lyrics, then play them this track. 10 Track 15. The 90's. The Yang to "The 80's" Ying. You cannot help to feel the sadness in his lyrics and vocal performance though. Another brilliant arrangement that reminds me of The Beatles. However it is not quite as strong as "The 80's", I'm still giving this track.... 10 Track 16. Summertime. Is this track taken from the end of that "Mike Bassett" Ricky Tomlinson England World Cup/Football Manager satire movie? A great track to end the album, it would sound great as a summer anthem. 9 Track 17. Dickhead a-ha the hidden track apparently about the Gallagher brothers..... Still, any track that has the line "This is Pop, Dickhead" is a winner in my book. (And my real name is Richard....) <_>8 Overall I have over 900 albums including all of Robbie's studio albums. So I'm not a Robbie fanatic, however if I had to give them a rating out of 10 then: LTAL 9/10 IBEY 8/10 Sing WYW 7/10 Swing WYW 5/10 Escapology 6/10 IC 5/10 Rudebox 9/10 - believe me I have not got many albums where their are 12 tracks with 8 or more out of 10. If four or five tracks around the middle of the album had been trimmed then it would be an all-time classic, but that it what your CD player/I-Pod is there for I suppose. :wub: :cheer:
October 29, 200620 yr 'Lovelight' is easily one of Robbie's best songs ever IMO. And the Soulwax remix is one of the best dances ATM ^_^ xox.
