Tilly and the wall’s “O” review….

so this is my first new version review and I have some new things I would like to share with you guys...I am going to rating each song for overall goodness. this rating system is pointless and really doesn't have an effect for the CD. I guess it kinda does but I just don't give a crap. I will be grading the whole Cd as well. Relatively based on the rating of all the songs and overall good ness of the CD.(in my opinion) I will also be adding tags, aka things that are in the song to give you a preveiw of what to look for. Finally I will be Adding a link (to Napster) at the end of the Review of the best song on the CD, so that you (the reader of my blog) can listen to my favorite song on the CD. I will put a "^" next to songs with well...unnessary words in them.

Tilly and the wall – O

If you are familiar with tilly’s previous CD (Wild like children) you will might think that this new album “O” is quite a bit different. Which it is. It has allot more female vocals than the last CD. It seems a bit more angry that their other CD. O has much more synth, Distorted vocals, and more Yelling Girls. overall it is an alright CD. It isn’t something that I am amazed with. Of coarse “wild like children” is a hard act to follow. I think the new CD is ok….I give it a B- it isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst. But then again I am a man so it is my own thoughts. That is what a review is isn’t it…my opinion, and my opinion gives this a “B-“. Here is a link to the best song on the CD in my opinion…. http://free.napster.com/player/?play_id=24218879&type=track
