Customer Reviews
When I first saw the tracklist, I was impressed with the quality and variety of music on offer here. Having given it two weeks' listening time, I can confirm it sounds as good as it looks! I also love the way the music is split down the middle: disc 1 for party moods, disc 2 for those heavier times.
All in all, Now 60 manages to deliver something for everyone (or everything for someone). A few of my personal favourite tracks are Uniting Nations' "Out Of Touch", Sunset Strippers' "Falling Stars", Chemical Brothers' "Galvanise" and the brilliant "Somebody Told Me" from The Killers. This is really amazing stuff, managing to thoroughly squash the competition. If you haven't already, GO BUY IT!!!
cd 1 starts off with the spectacular (if slightly old) What You Waiting For by Gwen, Sunset Strippers' Falling Stars and Kylie's christmas no2 I Believe In You. No1's from Mcfly (the cheese-tastic Comic relief single All About You) and Nelly feat. Tim Mcgraw with Over And Over follow with other chart-toppers on the album from Ciara with the awful Goodies and Girls Aloud with the cringing I'll Stand By You. (what will the Pretenders say, let alone neighbours).
Top tracks from the likes of LL Cool j, Ashanti, The Lovefreekz, Soul Central, Scissor Sisters and Shapeshifters add to the overall decent quality of the opening disc with only Joss Stone, Verbalicious and Akon providing the unpleasantries (and i use that term loosely).
CD2 kicks off with the oldie- but-goodie Vertigo by the never-ending (and i mean that in a good way) u2, the brilliant (and argubly the best track on the complilation) Somebody Told Me by The Killers, Stereophonics' storming Dakota (their first and so far, only no1 - who'd have phunk it?), Keane and Bloc party. Athlete's first apperarance on the album, Wires, The Doves comeback single-of-sorts Black And White Town, The Bravery's Honest Mistake and Feeder's Tumble And Fall round off the highlights of the second disc - but marks off for pairing them alongside Atomic Kitten, Brian McFadden, and, god help us all, Darius - but hey who am i to argue when the first-week sales figures roll in?
Is This The Way To Amarillo brings an end to Easter 2005's annual pop conpendium with the best-selling single of the year and what a classic it is - so until next time, sha-la-la.. hmm on second thoughts maybe not.
McFly's big new track kicks things off, the first 10 tracks are overshadowed by Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For", a masterpiece of pop music. I also think they could have put the newer Girls Aloud track, the gritty disco of "Wake Me Up" is a lot better than the lame "I'll Stand By You". Dance tracks from the Uniting Nations, the all-conquering Scissor Sisters and the quite brilliant "Galvanise", follow, the album twists into American R&B or, as the cool kids say, "Crunk N' B" (This is apparently where you get drunk and crazy at the same time. Like brunch, but with more beats and less bacon). Ciara and LL Cool J pop up here, it is a blessing that the nauseating Usher is cast aside. The laudable Verbalicious, appears with a song I really shouldn't like, but can't help tapping my toes to, then whoops someone put Geri Halliwell on it. Quick slap to whoever thought of that but then a big hug, because that's the only blemish on the first CD.
The second CD is pure genius, the Killers' track "Somebody Told Me" is one of the main standouts, dramatic rock at its best. The return of a rather different sounding Stereophonics is also welcomed, some cool indie tracks follow before smoothly returning to the pop arena, including that daft track by Darius, which to be fair isn't all that bad. Daniel Bedingfield continues the family trend of being obsessed with literature (These Words, Unwritten, Wrap My Words Around You, I rest my briefcase). Usually CD2 contains all the failing pop bands, but instead we have new light Lucie Silvas, old hands, the Doves and the shockingly underrated Feeder. Atomic Kitten make an appearance, but as its their last, I shall let them off with a stern look. Most bizarrely of all, Tony Christie features with classic "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo". I can only fathom this is because of either A) his successful greatest hits album and huge following by today's youth or B) Peter Kay's hysterical performance t'other night on Comic Relief.
What a marvellous album, I shall buy and listen over Easter, whils that odd rabbit goes around giving chocolate.
