This one was $6. It's just for some good times really, and a bit of a groove to this almost "pop-hip-hop". You can't help but laugh at some of the tracks, but some of them are gems. Memories of cruising with my friend Andy to New Plymouth in his Ford Laser come flooding back upon listening to this one.
Fun, cheap, can't complain. Not one for the "Rolling Stone top 200" but it's definitely cooler than singing "Wake me up before you go-go" at a Singstar competition in your local mall - 2 out of 5.
This is one I have wanted to grab since I first saw them on YouTube and upon putting the CD in my computer and hitting play, shivers have gone down my spine. This is an incredible sound - there are more strings than a James Bond soundtrack and you would swear Ringo is behind the drum kit at times.
I don't know what the deal is with why, how or when this was all put together by Alex Turner and Miles Kane, but one thing I can note (by just listening and not researching anything) is this: They have taken that beautiful 60's sound of early rock'n'roll/pop and bought it into now so well, you could put this on one of those "Sounds of the 60's" compilation CDs and no-one would notice the difference between this and an early Paul McCartney and John Lennon piece.
It's like an audio version of it's visual counterpart "Back to the Future" and I am liking it very much - 4 out of 5.
