Disco de Liberty X: “X [Bonus Tracks]”

Liberty x are back with some brilliant songs to go with the ulmighty song for lovers with reverend run.

Starting with the brilliant X Liberty x do some reviewing of their own - Xtra ordinary, Xtra naughty- "we do what we have to we do it in style"

Its ok follows with then there was you, the 2 best tracks. Shotgun is a up tempo number which will ring in your head all day then yo dj with a great beat. In my bed does let the album down a bit with boring lyrics and a boring tune. Thinking That it was down hill from there you switch to number 8 and love it DIRTY CASH the stevie wonder hit but with liberty x written all over it. This album has become more r&b for liberty x and move your body with prove it much, with the lyrics almost hip hop style with la la la backing it up. Divine Intervention is more like a cry for help to god which is a bad end to the new material but this is an album with an ending, ending with four of liberty x's greatest hits, Being Nobody, Got To Have Your Love, Holding On For You For and Just A Little.

Liberty X Prove There more Than Flopstars Starz!!!! :-)

I loved Liberty X and I was very sad the day they announced their split. "Thinking It Over" and "Being Somebody" are two of my all-time favourite albums - I think I love every single track on both of those albums. All time great pop classics.

This album, however, is not. I hate to say it, but this album is bland. And it's not worth the money - it has only 10 "new" (at the time) tracks. The last four tracks are previous singles - great songs but unneccessary. The only people buying the album would have been fans and they'd already have those songs.

So if we ignore those songs, we have 10 songs left to review. And out of those 10 songs I only like 4. That is extraordinarily bad considering how high a caliber their last two albums were.

These four songs are:

"Shotgun" - this is the shining star of the album. It saves the album from 1 star. It's one of my all-time favourite LX tracks. It's just so much fun, a jaunty little track about taking a road trip to Las Vegas. It's catchy, fun to sing along to and it has awesome lyrics. A diamond in the rough on this CD, a definite listen to. If they'd released this as a single, it might have saved the album.

"Dirty Cash" - this song is good, but not stellar. It's quite controversial I think, with lyrics about prostitution (no I'm not kidding) but it's catchy and I like the girls' vocals.

"X" - this was the last ever LX single and it flopped. I can see why, although I do like this song. Only like though, it's not that great. The Xers sing about themselves and how their band is 'eXtraordinary' and the such (well they used to be, this album isn't).

"Yo DJ" - the b-side to "Song For Lovers," I was dismayed to see it was on the album, actually. That means only 9 new tracks, really. But this is catchy and cool.

As for the rest of the songs - "Song For Lovers" is a load of drivel, I hate Reverend Run's rapping and the LXers hardly sing anything at all, "In My Bed" is ok but nothing special, "Then There Was You" and "Divine Intervention" are very soppy ballads that aren't up to the usual LX standard (see "The Poet" and "Impossible" from Being Somebody for amazing ballads from the X) and "It's Ok" and "Move Ya Body" are repetitive upbeat songs.

I do really hate to give a LX album only 2 stars, but this was a bad way for the X to go out. "Shotgun" is really the only gem on this bland album.

This album is not a true representation of what Liberty X were really like. The first two albums are a million times better.
