	Actually
		Actually is the third album, the second of entirely new music, by the UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys.
		Actually housed four singles, including lead-off single "It's a Sin" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", a duet with fellow Parlophone artist Dusty Springfield.
		Actually was rereleased in 2001 (as were most of the group's albums up to that point) as Actually/Further Listening 1987-1988.

		Ultimately this album succeeds in delivering 'pop' exactly as it should be, but played too often it will begin to grate on your friends, as you will end up humming it all day and drive them to despair.
		Actually is an unusual album; confirming that the boys could sound utterly contemporary and yet suggest more depth than the usual PWL type stuff that was around at the time.
		Actually is often said to be the band at the peak of their career; In terms of sales, I'd agree.

	[ Adrian's Album Reviews - Nirvana ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		A great album, not as great as some would have you believe, not as BAD as those complaining that the singles from this record are played on MTV and the radio so often as to reach the point of throwing up if you hear 'In Bloom' just one more time.
		I think this is a pretty good album, I absolutely love Bleach and I think it's easily one of the greatest albums of the last 20 years.
		I think that this is one of the cornerstones of the whole album and it could have made a fine single, if the dwarves who fucked with Steve Albini's production hadn't put their stubby fingers into the mix.

	Attitude - Album Reviews
		The layout of the album suggests that it may be a concept album and certainly the style of material on offer would back this up.
		This is not an album I would play at a club or party as it is not very energetic, although the last songs add more speed to it.
		Musically they actually have a fairly good base to build upon with some enjoyable riffs, but it just isn't quite there if you know what I mean.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Coldplay
		The string arrangements throughout this album are impressive actually, although never over-done for one second, and the songs certainly don't rely on them, are just enhanced by them, which is how it should be, of course.
		Sure the album falls down a bit in the mid section, but some of the songs on here are fantastic.
		Actually, a lowlight and a highlight arrive right together at the end of the album.

	Pink Floyd Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The transition and Wright's keyboards are a highlight of the album.
		Animals is the Pink Floyd album that firmly establishes Roger Waters as the creative genus of Floyd.
		This album is great enough on its own, but my suggestion is that you enhance the album by watching the movie also.

		Yeah, Celine Dion asked that question on two successive albums, but you've gotta admit, love is the happiest, most inspiring emotion there is. It causes people to say things they wouldn't normally say and do things they wouldn't normally do.
		While probably the least exciting of the album's tracks, this track shows Warren trading in her usual bombast for a slightly more mellow approach.
		This album also revisits some older tracks, which end up being the best things on the album.

	Amazon.com: Actually: Music: Pet Shop Boys (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Their second album shows Tennant's tiny speak-singing voice going more traditionally melodic, but yet working as a mere channel to the transmission of words, even if it also projects comfort.
		This album offers a much more focused songwriting then that of their also very good debut, and there is a lot of fun and hits to enjoy here: their first UK #1 'Heart', the lush midtempo 'Rent' and the bombing megahit 'It's A Sin'.
		The rest of the songs match the melodic and lyric quality of the choosed singles and, as a whole, this album works of an explanation to the question "Why the f**** are there so many bands immitating and re-processing typical 80's synthpop?".

	Actually and Introspective
		The album title, incidentally, was reportedly chosen simply because it was a word that they (Neil in particular) used quite a lot—again an instance of calculated flippancy, which would prove a recurring motif in the Boys' career.
		This track, recorded and originally released by Dusty Springfield on her album Reputation, was written by Neil and Chris for the film Scandal, which concerned the notorious Profumo Affair.
		Yet it was enough to cause an uproar in the press, to rattle the government, and to cause one of the central figures in the affair to kill himself.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock V
		This is certainly true on the four-part "Antiwar Requiem", which spans the album's first side: "Dies irae" greets the listener with a brusque drummachine beat in military mode and wave upon shrill, dissonant saw wave from the upper register of Varga's Roland Jupiter 8, sort of like a grim call-to-arms fanfare heralding a total war.
		Actually that description is really superficial, VDO are much more talented and although their songs are album length, the music is quite good.
		Actually, album was totally overlooked, as also old thrashfans of the band didn’t like it and turned their backs to the band.

	The Photos album.. (Laugh? I actually bought one)
		But the free album "The Blackmail tapes" is a fine piece of "Recorded in a garage" lowfiness.
		There were a couple of other singles released after the album; A Life In a Day (which unlike all the other stuff sounds dated now) and We'll win.
		Having just moved house and prised open a box that had been locked for 15 years, hey waddya know - it's all the vinyl i locked away when i got into CD in the late 80s.

	That's All I've Got to Say
		In actuality, the book is by and large a slice-of-life story about Qwilleran, his cats, and the community.
		However, as the rest of the fleet is leaving, a test-firing of one of the missiles produces results that were not anticipated—or at least, not foreseen.
		At the time, they think it's some kind of Inbit weapon—but the actual reason is that the Inbit, being super-environmentalists, had returned the atmosphere to its original state before mankind had depleted the ozone layer and caused the greenhouse effect and so forth.

	New Maiden album... - Page 2 - Ultimate Metal Forum
		I've actually never heard the phrase "These colors don't run", but I don't live in a rednecky part of the country.
		Actually, considering you took it upon yourself to imply that I was saying negative things about the song title in the context of Iron Maiden, you're still the idiot.
		I can't wait to hear this album, the last 2 albums have been really good.

	PiL - Album LP
		The generic artwork for the album was inspired by an American supermarket brand.
		Californian punk band Flipper who released their own 'Generic' album in 1980 would later claim that Lydon stole the idea from them.
		But it was during the recording of this album in New York that Miles Davis came into the studio while I was singing, stood behind me and started playing.

	"Actually, Records." (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		“Actually, Records.” is a record label committed to releasing innovative and exceptional records regardless of genre labels or commercial constraints.
		The debut full-length album from XYZR_KX represents a cross-section of his stylistic range, utilizing traditional rock sounds and electro-virtuosity to create a fresh, emotionally taut soundscape firmly situated within a classic pop structure.
		Maria Photopulos’ debut self-titled EP conjures up images of emotional displacement, a bittersweet sense of nostalgia and a sardonic recognition of romantic impossibility – all united by a profound sense of longing.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Lou Reed
		But not an album very likely to be discussed with your friends when you all get talking about great albums you could possibly listen to.
		I always wanted an album that really WAS 'just a noise', so I could throw that album in such a persons face when they dared to say something as melodic and brilliant as, say, Polvo, was 'just a noise'.
		'Street Hassle' is a strange album altogether, with live tracks forming the basis for a good half of the album, an eleven minute long title track and the LP released as punk was raging around him.

	Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: D2
		Much of the album is laid-back folk/prog, but when the band let rip, as on the sax-driven Culto Disarmonico, they display interesting jazz sensibilities that are quite out of kilter with the rest of their material.
		Ironically, the album actually starts quite well, with the instrumental Passage sounding slightly like an IQ outtake, although the temptation to stray into Pendragon territory obviously overcame them mere minutes into the record.
		It's actually quite eccentric in places, which has to be a good thing, as the entire music industry slowly suffocates under the weight of the identikit drivel it spews out at an unthinking public.

		of excess and indulgence after his several excellent albums of singer/songwriter folk-rock.
		What should be kept in mind, however, is that Stevens's peers in 1973 were acts like Jethro Tull and Yes that were penetrating the top of the charts and selling millions of records while creating elaborate musical suites, and that they in turn were taking their cue from Abbey Road and Tommy.
		Actually, the suite is full of compelling melodic sections and typically emotive singing that could have made for an album side's worth of terrific four-minute Cat Stevens songs if only he had composed them that way.

	MTV News - Grey Album Producer Danger Mouse Explains How He Did It
		In December, when he heard Jay-Z was releasing an a cappella version of The Black Album for remixers, he came up with a crazy idea to blend it with the Beatles' famous The White Album and make The Grey Album (see "Remixers Turn Jay-Z's Black Album Grey, White And Brown").
		As the album has become a cultural landmark, though, Burton has felt a need to explain the process behind it.
		Most of the songs on the The Grey Album use guitar and/or vocal samples from only one Beatles tune, although the beats are all from various songs from The White Album.

	Love Actually - Music from the Movies
		Like its stable mates, Love Actually is a feel good film and tells of the loves and lives of eight different couples, but mostly their loves; falling in and falling out.
		The songs on the album are either sentimental or uplifting, but start with Girls Aloud manic version of ‘Jump’ followed by the two upbeat ballads ‘Too Lost In You’ by the Sugarbabes and Kelly Clarkson singing ‘The Touble With Love Is’.
		Nevertheless this album is one of the better collections of songs associated with recent films.

	That's All I've Got to Say: So long, and thanks for all the books
		Along the way, I found something quite unexpected: the theme song to the H2G2 radio show was not done by some British chappie—it was actually done by the Eagles.
		I also happened to mention it to some friends on-line, and one of them noticed that the iTunes Music Store listing for One of These Nights, the album it was on, said it was released on May 21, 1985.
		Only after I'd done that did it really occur to me—except for the fact I'd done it on a desktop machine instead of a hand-held gadget, I had done exactly what one of Douglas Adams's characters might have: I typed a query into an electronic repository of knowledge, and boom, there was my answer.

	Korn, Live and Rare, Album Review
		Part live album from seminal New York punk club CBGBs, part a varied selection of live covers and explicit album versions of songs, this album is actually a very good listen for even the casual Korn fan.
		Yes, they do actually manage a decent execution of ABITW, and to be honest the Metallica cover is worth the price of the album alone.
		If you've ever given them more than a casual listen, this is actually an excellent reminder of Korn's talents.
