i got a promo of this album to review and it's every bit as good as the previous two. maybe a bit better than the last one. the ting tings track is a highlight, as is pendulum, and dizzee rascal. there's an old gem on there from athlete - a beautiful version of 'wires'. all the big acts from this year are present - duffy, adele, elbow, glasvegas, the script (covering eminem's 'lose yourself') and scouting for girls. get it, and you won't regret it...
As always, the live lounge is a mixture of artists doing covers and their own songs. The best tracks on this year's cds are Dizzee Rascal doing the Ting Tings 'thats not my name' and the Script doing 'lose yourself'. Scouting for Girls kill their own song, and some covers are too close to the original song to really warrant doing it, if you know what i mean, but most tracks are great, and a select few are amazingly good. get this album.
Live Lounge is great. Definitely worth the money (especially with the Amazon price and free delivery). Volume 3 is one of the better ones, the combination of more acoustic tracks and covers is superb (I own the first 5 and will be buying the 6th). It also gives you the chance to hear lots of artists and see which you might want to hear more of.Added in that it is a double CD and its a no brainer.
