I brought the CD because after listening to a couple of Mark Ronson's singles I still wasn't sure whether I actually liked them. Overall it's a decent CD which I would class as 'a grower' - the more you listen to it the better it gets - worth getting.
Well this review may or may not help others - I admit I found it something of a change from the ska and indie-rock themed tunes that make up most of 'version', or the rap-DJ content of his 2003 offering. This seems to be e novel and nostalgic trip through the icons or Mark's youth - so it has a big appeal to people like me just a few years younger. I loved the tune 'Bang Bang Bang' so bought the album, and found it full of catchy, melodious pop & beats often utlising original 1980s synthesisers and keyboards Ronson picked up on a back-street sale. The videos also reference the games consoles and chopper bikes us 1980s children grew up on, and is a nostalgic feast for the senses. Some I have spoken to think it is less broad, more one-dimensional that other offerings from Mark Ronson. But i only bought it to have something funky and upbeat to listen to, without the sometimes-excessive 'electronickyness' of the Human League etc. And on that count, it certainly delivers. Out of 5 stars, I would give it 4Read full review
Good, but not as good as i'd hoped from the tracks he had released as singles. Quite a short album too.
