As an avid listener to Live Lounge while at work I got this as a Christmas pressie and was over the moon. Lets just say the Live Lounge separates the men from the boys and the girlies from the ladies. On Radio 1 it always throws up some surprises. One example is 30 Seconds to Mars (too Emo for me) doing Kanye West (who I loathe with a passion), combine the two together and you get the best track on this CD! Much better than the original. Nelly Furtado sounding pretty darn good as well is another surprise. Kings of Leon sound like a recording and Jo Whiley did say on SEVERAL occasions that it was NOT a recording! Perfection! Jose Gonzalez and Damien Rice words cannot describe! Gossip-amazing (Avril take note!!)
To sum up, great in most parts, highlights being:
Gossip (that girl got voice)
Foo Fighters (best live band in world)
Kings of Leon (2nd best Live band in world)
Jose Gonzalez (silk)
30 Seconds to Mars (Wow.. surprising, he can sing too)
Paolo Nutini (just has to open his mouth and that comes out)
Robyn (touching)
Arctic Monkeys (perfection)
The View (intelligble!!)
Dizzee Rascal (Sharp)
Damien Rice (What u would expect from DR)
But there are a few ropy tracks:
Avril Lavigne (girl cannot find the notes!!)
Mika (cringe!!)
The Fray (what is that all about??)
Maroon 5 (yuch!)
Maximo Park (Eh???? Not even same song)
All in... worth a purchase.

I brought this album because I love the live lounge, I must admit although I did like the 1st live lounge album it wasn't as good as I had hoped for and while I do still listen to it it does have some very disappointing moments. The Second album is a different matter however and while again it does have a couple of songs that are in my opinion bad the majority of the album is fantastic and it is only those couple of songs that keep it from getting 5 stars.
The low points are Corinne Bailey Rae - Sexyback which I think is awful and Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp but that is probably because I have never really liked Dizzee
The high points for me have to be Biffy Clyro - Umbrella which is excellent and 30 Seconds To Mars - Stronger which I believe is worth getting the album for by itself it is one of the best covers I have heard I loved the orginal by Kanye West but I think this version is even better

The Live Lounge always throws up the occasional beauty, and there are a few here. Ironically Valerie, by Amy makes me cover my ears, screechy! But most of the rest are fair to excellent. Worth a shot though, better than the first one.

Good Live performances
All in all this was decent to listen to. I loved Avril Lavigne's cover of The Scientist (although some bits were out of tune) and plenty more good listening from this double... Read more
