 "The compilation opens with the single 'Television Addict,' very ahead of its time, characterized by a frenetic rhythm and vocals almost akin to Oasis."

 "The band is definitely a group that every Punk lover should know, just for the two or three noteworthy tracks."

The Victims, an energetic Australian punk band, released All Loud On The Western Front in 2005, a solid compilation of their limited but notable punk tracks. Highlights like 'Television Addict' showcase raw, polished punk energy, while some songs mimic classic overseas punk styles with varying success. The band offers a few standout tracks that punk lovers should seek out, though the overall collection shows simplicity and immaturity. Non-punk fans may find the album less appealing. Listen to The Victims’ All Loud On The Western Front to explore raw Aussie punk gems and punk rock history!

 The film is a total rip-off, a horrible musical in which Beatles songs are exploited and truly ruined.

 I hope that after reading my review, you won’t go to the cinema to see this crap, because if you do, my seven euros will have truly gone to waste.

The review harshly criticizes Julie Taymor's 'Across The Universe' for poor musical performances, inaccurate historical details, and overused effects. Despite intentions to showcase anti-war themes and 60s protest culture, the film fails to deliver. Few musical renditions are praised, notably Bono's voice in 'I'm The Walrus.' The reviewer advises against watching the film, calling it a waste of money. Read this honest review before watching Across The Universe and discover why it missed the mark.

 "The falsetto chorus in the refrain is simply splendid, just listen to what the increasingly jazzy piano does."

 "A truly splendid album in some parts and almost horrible in others like 'La Sinfonia Delle Scarpe Da Tennis', it still remains an excellent album."

 "To listen to the Pop Group, you have to bring out your sick side and be conquered by Mark Stewart’s sick voice."

 "The song immediately kicks off with the screeching Rickenbacker leading into the bass, giving it a special funky touch that’s sick and distorted."
