Monday Music Monkey Review

Hello my bitches I am back and I stocked up on some awesome new music so today I will be reviewing the new Jason Mraz album 'Love is a four letter word'. a follow up to his first album “We sing, we dance, we steal things” which I reviewed a while ago (see link here;  http://www.bitterandtwistedcomics.com/2/post/2012/09/monday-music-monkey-review8.html Look I am a huge fan of his music and his philosophy on life he has a real laid back approach to life that is seriously addictive. I must say when I first listened to the album I was a bit like "what the fuck?" his normally fun wordplay and risque lyrics weren't there but on listening to it again the lyrics are simply superb.  The album opens with “The Freedom Song,” a cover and I must say a first Jason Mraz (it was written by Luc Reynaud of Luc & the Lovingtons during the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina). This track is so and so feel good that it makes this little monkey want to dance (you feelin' me chicky-babes). The next track 'Living In The Moment' is a stand-out and with lyrics like “Wherever I’m going, I’m already home / Living in the moment.” from it's whistling intro to it's reggae beat it's a killer. 'The Woman I Love' is the next track and it's absolutely beautiful track, guitar is awesome, the lyrics are incredible. (now for me to find a woman I love).This song will be a massive hit with the ladies so if you have a date planned, get this song on! 'I Won t Give Up' is the next track and it starts off slow and builds up it's a pretty emotional song and the closest to his previous album, the lyrics are first class. The next track  '5/6' is a cool kind of jazzy track still seriously cool though, we then move onto 'Everything is Sound (La La La)' is Jason Mraz at his best, catchy chorus, cool music and his seriously cool lyrics, definately a winner and a highlight on the album. '93 Million Miles' is the next track starts slow and builds to a soft rock kind of song still cool it leads into the next track 'Frank D Fixer' really well for some bizarre reason, this is a cool song and when you listen to the lyrics Frank is something more men should aspire to be.  The next song 'Who’s Thinking About You Now?' is a cool song again Mraz's song-writing is world class the lyrics are really cool and it's a song that only Jason Mraz can sing. The next song 'In Your Hands' is just beautiful, seriously a beautiful song and one of the best on the whole album, Jason Mraz at his best. Then, we get that sound that Mraz is famous for on this song 'Be Honest' . The last track is 'The World As I See It'  which is a great album to finish what is an outstanding album, chock full of Mraz’s upbeat music, intelligent lyrics, wonderful vocals all up this is a great album and will put you in a great mood. Easy to hit replay on this album, which is always a sign of a great album. The music on this album is brilliant, Jason Mraz is shows again that he is a great song writer and a talented musician. So all up this is a worthy addition to anyone’s collection and I am giving it 4 & 1/2 shots of whisky! Till next week, Peace out my bitches!

Monday Music Monkey Review

Hello my bitches, today I will be reviewing one of my guilty pleasures yes, I am a Spice Girls fan monkey. I know what the hell is this little monkey on, but you know what fuck it I have always liked them so today I will be reviewing the album that started it all for me ( I still have the Spice Girls mug, figurines, pencil case, ruler etc) I think I may need help! Anyway the first album Spice was launched way back when I was but a shy little monkey (it was 1996 when they exploded on the airwaves and I was hooked), rushing to get my hands on their first album which starts of with the debut track 'Wannabe' which is a kick ass song which has rapping, catchy lyrics and such a great pop vibe it is just an awesome song, although I still to this day don't know what a ziga-zig ahh is The next song 'Say You'll Be There' is a bit of a slower track and the second single off the album it has the girl power lyrics and I always loved how every girl got a part in the song unlike the Pussycat Dolls (see my review here   http://www.bitterandtwistedcomics.com/2/post/2013/03/monday-music-monkey-review30.html) this is just another really fun song.  The next track '2 Become 1' is a ballad and a great one at that it really showcases their singing abilities and they certainly could sing and with their sexy outfits and names Emma (Baby Spice), Mel C (Sporty Spice), Victoria (Posh Spice), Geri (Ginger Spice), and Mel B (Scary Spice) this is an awesome love song.  We then move onto the song 'Love Thing' which has more of a disco sound but is very much a spice girls sound. The rapping the girls do in this song is great. We then move onto 'Last Time Lover' which is a really sexy song especially Mel B's vocals in this song a the beat and guitars make this a highlight of this album  'Mama' is the next track and it is an emotional song about their mums' aww, it's so sweet without being sickening and it does have some beautiful string sections and it becomes a great ballad. It also shows of an emotional side to the Spice Girls which just adds to their appeal. 'Who Do You Think You Are' was the next track and it is awesome, upbeat, with a cool disco beat and really quick fire yet fun lyrics, an awesome song. We then move onto 'Something Kinda Funny' has a more jazzy feel to the rest of the songs, very sexy vocals, catchy lyrics this song is an absolute cracker of a song and one of my favourites. Then we move onto one of the stand out tracks on the album, 'Naked' (and who didn't dream of seeing them all naked! I sure did when I was a little monkey, yes it was a great dream, which spice shall I have naked tonight anyway I digress). this song had a real maturity do it, it had a sexy, jazzy vibe to it and the Spice Girls sound great on this track which makes it even better. The lyrics on this track are awesome as well, just pure awesome! The last track is  'If U Can't Dance' and it finishes what is a stand out debut album with great instruments, fantastic lyrics and great rapping by Scary Spice (Mel B. and Ginger Spice (Geri), a great high to finish a great album on. I am giving this 5 shots of whiskey out of 5, it is a killer album by five babes who brought sexy back to music, who defined girl power and spawned a million copy cats, who brought pop back from obscurity. Five sassy-sexy girls who made music fun again. If you haven't heard of them, get out from whatever cave you have been living in and take a trip to pop heaven with this album. Well that's it for this week, till next time -  Peace out my bitches!

Monday Music Monkey Review

Hello my bitches!, I am back, I had last week off because, well I just couldn't be fucked! I didn't feel like writing anything so up yours Redi!
So today I will be reviewing an album that I hold very dear to me it is the one and only Radiohead and their debut album - Pablo Honey. let's get into it shall we?
Pablo Honey was released in 1993 when I was just a wee monkey clinging to my mum's back. Till that filthy bitch Redi decided he wanted a pet monkey like Micheal Jackson (damn you Redi and you too Bubbles I was going to be MJ's pet till you did that fucking moonwalk!) anyway I digress.

This album is an absolute killer with the first track being the awesome 'You' it's a great opener with an awesome opening riff and Thom's great voice also the guitar is awesome.

Then we move onto 'Creep' which is an excellent song, very heartfelt and the way I used to feel all them years ago, before I grew major chest hairs and became a love god. It's a dirty song, with dirty guitar sound just pure Radiohead genius.the next song is 'How Do You?' which sounds so British but is a real grungy sounding song my only problem is that it's too short. 

We move onto the track 'Stop Whispering' I love this song and rate it one of the best songs on the album it has great music and guitar but, Thom's voice in this is amazing so passionate what a truly gifted singer he is. The next track is 'Thinking About You' which is an acoustic track with some electric guitar but yet again Thom's voice steals the whole song.just awesome and brilliant.

'Anyone Can Play Guitar' is the next track and with it's feedback start it is an awesome song, I love the whole grungy feel this song has. we follow this song up with 'Ripcord' a cool song and yet again that voice is just so perfect.'Vegetable' is the next track and it is a really catchy song that gets inside your head and it does have a really cool guitar solo - whatever happened to guitar solo's? They just don't do them in this day and age.

We then move onto the track 'Prove Yourself'  it is another cool song with that real wall of sound that only Radiohead can do and that drumbeat is kick-ass. The next song is 'I Can't' it has a seriously cool intro and I think it's cool has a pub rock feel to it, I think you need to be pissed in a pub to enjoy it to it's full potential. 

'Lurgee' is the next song and it is a great song with great lyrics and great guitar and Thom's voice is great as per usual. We then move onto the last song 'Blow Out' which is cool song to end on it does seem different to all the other songs which makes it so cool.

All up I give this 5 shots of whiskey out of 5. Only Radiohead could pull off one of the greatest debut albums ever! This set the benchmark really high for them and the just seemed to get better and better with each album. Do yourself a favour and check out this album now, you bitches, you won't be disappointed at all! You can check out Radiohead here http://www.radiohead.com/
Also go and buy the album, not that fucking downloadshit, actually buy and own it.
Till next week peace out my bitches!
