DVD REVIEW: Best Of Both Worlds 3D



One of the biggest US box office hits finally arrives in Britain, albeit on the small screen, but at least its 3D status is still intact.

Documenting Miley’s arena tour, the concert is split between songs from the TV show (with Miley in her Hannah Montana character) and Miley being herself with songs from the solo record that came with ‘Hannah Montana 2’.

As well as this, the show also features a duet with Jonas Brothers on ‘We Got The Party’ and the boys playing through the brillliant ‘When You Look Me In The Eyes’ and ‘Year 3000’

The Hannah songs are brilliant, the Cyrus stuff is even better and it's surely worth the money alone for a 3D Joe Jonas?

CD REVIEW: Razorlight – Slipway Fires



The first question is: Do you like Johnny Borrell? Is he a cheeky troubadour propping up the bar at the Hawley Arms or is he The Ghost of Bono Future? How you answer that question will determine how much you get out of ‘Slipway Fires’.

The ramshackle Libs-esque ragtag tunes of ‘Up All Night’ are gone, replaced by stadium busting epics, bringing to mind U2, REM, Queen and other rock behemoths. There are still a few cheeky pop songs here though – ‘North London Trash’ owes it’s style to Lodger’s ‘I’m Leaving’, whereas ‘Tabloid Lover’ is a stomping Britpop singalong. ‘Burberry Blue Eyes’ follows the same template, whereas much of the rest of the album goes higher and wider down the sonic highway. ‘Wire To Wire’ brings to mind ‘Horse With No Name’ whereas ‘Blood For Wild Blood’ stomps around like the giants of US rock.

There’s no backing down from Borrell, he doesn’t want to be in the biggest band in Camden, he wants to be in the biggest band in the world and from the sound of ‘Slipway Fires’, he’s well on his way. If you still don’t like him? I really don’t think he cares and he’s all the better for it.
