This is a superb album from two amazing individuals. The songs are sophisticated, simple and quite lovely. Some of David best vocals. An album I've been playing a lot since its release and one that I know I'll continue to play for a very long time.

Brian described Life is Long as 'a gospel song written by two atheists' and that description fits it quite well. A non-religious spiritual album.

The Sex and the City soundtrack provides a perfect companion if you loved the film, and even if you aren't a fan, there is enough here for you to have a listen to.

Fergie starts off with "Labels or Love", sampling the series theme tune in a song about whether we should be looking for the best label or love in the big city. It's sassy and sexy, like Fergie herself.

Jennifer Hudson appeared in the film, and provides a show tune style track to the proceedings.

Nina Simone gets remixed and I have to say I quite like it, as I haven't really listened to any of her stuff in the past.

I grew up listening to Take That's version of "How Deep Is Your Love" so The Bird and the Bee's reworking of a classic cover version, doesn't really hit me.

The remaining tracks flick between party mode and reflection with a reworking of the Sex and the City theme tune to close things.

My only gripe is how did Duffy's "Mercy" get onto the CD - anyone else remember it's absence in the film....? And what about the songs that don't appear here, yet conveniently appear on a second volume of the soundtrack, released about the same time as the DVD? Very cheeky...

Absolutely awful, this is a shoddy complilation of Xmas songs. The sound quality is terrible and the album seems to be a montage of old radio broadcasts. At times it seems that Sinatra is singing with a bucket on his head. If you want real nostalga then this album may appeal but I would advise you to stay well clear.

The voice of later day Fleetwood Mac and maker of several great solo albums.

This however aint one of them, to weird for my liking and one which despite several attempts at listening will sit and gather dust on the shelf.

So here we go, the second album from Black Stone Cherry is here, and it's been worth the wait.
Southern Rock has never sounded so fresh and contemporary, killer guitar lines, powerful vocals and improved songwriting all contribute here to a band rapidly on the rise.
Things don't really get much better than album opener "Blind Man" which believe me is a good thing, because this song is easily one of the best rock songs I've heard this year.
The Ballad "Things my father said" again fits in beautifully, its a tearful reflection on one's dad who has passed away.
It's a shame a band like this is not very well known, by that I mean the casual music listener, because it really is a quality album.

Overall, a good soundtrack, with nice references back to Casino Royale. But, where on earth is the end credits music? It's missing. Shame on Sony, as this was great.

With well over a hundred reviews for this album, why should I add another? There is nothing more to be said other than
1) When they next get together to get another series of 'Classic Albums - The Making Of' DVD's, this should definitely be one of them, and
2) Every 'serious' rock fan's collection should have this album, it is absolutely essential!!
Say No More!!

I'd been really looking forward to this release, unfortunately I have to say it's the worst of Damon Albarn's career.

I was equally disappointed with the opera itself, which I saw last weekend. A few parts were very very good, but on the whole it's really dull.
