This deluxe 2 cd edition second album from Amy Winehouse is a fine piece of work, "Rehab" stands out along with "Tears dry on their own", but all the tracks are good. When I first heard Amy on the radio I thought she was a sixties artist I'd never heard of, on this album she mixes the best of the old and the new with fantastic results. Track listing 1. Rehab 2. You Know I'm No Good 3. Me And Mr Jones 4. Just Friends 5. Back To Black 6. Love Is A Losing Game 7. Tears Dry On Their Own 8. Wake Up Alone 9. Some Unholy War 10. He Can Only Hold Her 11. Addicted 1. Valerie 2. Cupid (deluxe edition version) 3. Monkey Man 4. To Know Him Is To Love Him (Napster live session) 5. Hey Little Rich Girl 6. You're Wondering Now 7. Some Unholy War 8. Love Is A Losing Game (original demo)
OMG wot a fantastic album!! i always thought that cd one back to black was good. then i heard disk 2 on the album and it blow me away fantastic!! lets just hope she gets her self bk on track to make more fantastic music!! this woman has a talent like no one i have ever heard!! monkey man, hey there little rich girl and your wondering now have got to be the best tunes she ever made!!!
I think its going to be one of those albums that takes its place in the hall of fame, but we're all going to be extremely bored with most of the overplayed tracks on this CD. Its not Amy's fault.....good tracks always get killed by the radio, and Im already sick of 'Rehab', and getting the same way with 'Back To Black'. My favourite track is 'You Know Im No Good' As with all albums, not every track is great, and Im not a fan of the slower ones. Its just a shame that this girl will probably be dead within a year, judging by her V Festival performance...she looked absolutely awful.
What I love about this disc is the genius of lyric and music writing. Back to black, as a single, is compelling and arresting and gives the faintest of glimpses into a brilliant talent; the irony is that it is the artist's own undoing of what could be a charmed existance. What I dislike about the CD is that it is impossible to listen to it without the mind dredging up those images of the artist that show her self destruction, degradation and humiliation. A far cry from the beautiful girl who first broke through with her awesome throw-back sound and image. Despite the drugs, which I despise, I cannot but help remain an avid fan of this orginal and unique sound. She has the ability to echo and etch pain in every note. Which serves the listener to wonder is Ms Winehouse dying aloud before us? The constant escapism to drugs, to mute her pain, would sadly suggest yes.Read full review
This album, is, Soul music at its best, from, a very talented artist. Distinctively, classic Motown in style, this album, has been said to be,one of the greatest, soul albums ever made. As a soul fan, I have to agree. This album is truly stunning, and fault less. It has all the essential motown instrumentaion, Sax,catchy bass lines, chopped guitar chords ect. Amy's Distinctive american sounding voice, great songs, and lyrics, make this album, an instant classic. Stirs the emotions, likeMotown does, after all, isn't that what Soul musics about. This album took me completely by surprise, after only hearing one song in the charts. I cant rate this album highly enough. A must, for any Soul, and music fan.
