Amazon don't let you review them, so here is the best place for me to review them.
When buying from Amazon, you are actually buying this from a Jersey Company "Indigostarfish". This album (labeled NEW) was not not plastic wrapped (as new discs should be) and the case was scratched and well used. The CDs themselves were in good condition.
As of the music itself, this is a good album worthy of 4 stars. (3stars from Amazon)
If you liked the other two live lounges, you must buy this. And, alternatively, if you like this, buy the other two albums.
This is possibly the worst album I have ever had the missfortune to listen to. How on earth this women sells so many albums is beyond me, obviously a lot of people like bland music sung by someone with a tedious and very limited vocal range. This album is more "middle of the road" tripe aimed at the mass market, people who enjoy this probably know very little about music since I am yet to discover a link between Dido and music! Oh well, variety is the spice of life and I guess we all like different things, but this kind of drivel is worse than Chinese water torture!
Stereophonics are one of those cynical and unenlightened band's that leave you flabbergasted that they've achieved ANY success at all.
They have nothing about them.
They're from Wales for one thing, and there not much you can point to in that woefully tiny country's honour's list during the last 50 years - in fact it's been a disaster. Lousy football team, dreary anthem, beautiful but dying language and in the face of all this, appalling rot dished up by futile nuggets like Tom Jones, the unbelievably talent-less Cerys Matthews, drab Funeral for a Friend, embarrassing Goldie Looking Chain and finally, at the top of the tree, overcast, bland, disinterested Stereophonics.
You know you're in trouble when 'A Decade in the Sun' is the best they can come up with by way of a greatest hits compilation, and, as sure as day follows night, it's completely worthless on every front. Banal, sub-Rod Stewart MOR, car music, (or at least, the nodding dog in the back window) cover versions, slow, untimely grinding; 'Have a Nice Day', 'Handbags and Gladrags', 'Mama Told Me Not To Come' (with Tom Jones, a genuine contender for the Worst Single Ever Released.) - petty, listless background tomfoolery. Synthetic, demoralizing and grey.
Their biggest problem is, that there's no talent anywhere in the group. Basic song writing skills are sadly AWOL, no hooks to snag you, no witty or clever lyrics to engage you. They seem to get by using the well suspect, and monstrously overused deceit of the obscene 'Rock Anthem' - the last bombed-out refuge of pop 'musicians' who transparently have nothing at all to say. Mosh-pit diving, fist clenching standards - but even here, the last refuge of the truly non-descript, they dismayingly fail.
They're not even truly awful, (that'd be a blessing - it would make writing about them much easier) they're not really worth words, emotions, any depth of thought or argument. They're just sort of there, plant-pots to a man, peripatetically moseying around, solidly locked into all the music genre clichés feared most.
Yes, black leather vests and shades, clinging to the insignificant torsos and bonces of clueless, safe, Welsh rock-being's. With a conformist non-style that makes a nest of tables look dynamic and a sound that's almost cylindrical and definitely over-secure, Stereophonics are getting away with a heinous amount of cultural crime. They are the Norris Cole's of modern pop, the Vauxhall Vectra's of rock. They make the similarly perfidious Super Furry Animals (and I think I'm beginning to twig why they all have naff names..) sound like Oscar Wilde.
Ten years of these par-boiled leeks then - ten years of the orthodox and the ordinary.

I agree with the review about waiting to hear the album before making a review. It makes a mockery of the star system on Amazon if reviewers rate purchases before trying just because a previous item was good.
Different from a lot of Enya's other recordings but lovely as usual as she is.My favourite artiste.
Unfortunately, this album contains a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', a song which about the pain of sexual love. Katherine turns it into an anodyne, passionless 'hymn', devoid of the heartache that made Jeff Buckley's cover so perfect. A tragic waste of her talents. Yet another example of how 'crossovers' don't work. Avoid. (It isn't even an aria!).
