Disadvantages: None

...with equally stunning composition, the Arcade Fire's "Black Mirror" is a splendid example. From the unsettling string section and the determined piano at the beginning through the disturbing refrain, this song is thoroughly bizarre, and in its sheer insanity it conveys a startling message. We look at our lives through a "black mirror" that serves as a harrowing reminder that the way we see our every day world is actually skewed. The way we see ourselves ...
...are at heart. "Black Mirror" from the Arcade Fire is the amalgam of many different and open minds who have come together to advocate looking beyond just what you see. For you must know that to truly see, you must first take in everything. In this, "Black Mirror" truly triumphs. ... Read review

KISS has got to be the best rock and roll band ever. I have always loved them, but my passion really started when I met my boyfriend who is a huge KISS nut. Their music says something, unlike most of the music that is new these days. KISS is a band that delivers a great stage show. You get more bang for your buck when you see them in concert. See Gene blow fire or Paul flying through the air with his guitar. When we saw KISS live, Peter Criss did ...
...He probably made her day and I thought that was sweet of him. I have to say that I love KISS more with their makeup than without. It is just entertaining to see them perform on stage and I do not think that anyone could compete with them. ... Read review

The accompliment of the lead singers voice is a great addittion to the overall atmosphere of the music. The new album - Viva La Vida - is a definite winner. Not only has it kept the same traditional coldplay style, ...
...Vida is a great song as well as life in Technicolour (pure instrumental bliss). The band could also be considered a 'classic' as they've got many albums, with many songs that have been in the chart (although only one actual number one which is suprising). Overall great band, with a unique style. ... Read review
