Advantages: stand out song - 'The Intense Thing', no bad songs Disadvantages: short, and few great songs
I'm reviewing the UK version of the album, so the tracklisting is as follows:
Season; Jack Names The Planets; Intense Thing; Uncle Pat; Get Out; Petrol; Obscure Thing
Tim Wheeler (guitar and vocals), Mark Hamilton (bass) and Rick McMurray (drums) were teenagers when they recorded their debut album. 'Trailer' shows both sides to Ash - light and dark, alternating between them on the album, with opener 'Season' a song about a friend's suicide.
Of the light side are the singles: 'Jack Names The Planets' is the only song with obvious singalong chorus, and begins with a bizarre conversation between two Dutchmen; whereas 'Uncle Pat' and 'Petrol' follows-up their verses with instrumentation - the former with a lead guitar line said by Tim to having a rural and Irish quality, whilst the latter is topped up by twinkling guitars and driven ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Trailer - Ash
Advantages: Lightweight, easy to tow, retain value, smart. Disadvantages: No handle on inside of jocky door.
After afew years of having horses and paying for transport I decided to buy a trailer after careful consideration. I had never towed before and did not have a vehicle suitable for towing.

This cost me £2500 (I have had it nearly 2 years) from a reputable dealer and had full service history. It may cost more from dealers but at the time it was the best option for me as I didn`t really know what I needed to check from a safety angle. Also looking at the advertisments at the time, there were not ...
Advantages: Classic trailers for awful films Disadvantages: None
Who would have thought that trailers for movies could become as popular as the real thing? But this is exactly what has happened with Nucleus Films release Grindhouse Trailer Classics. Taking a leaf out of US DVD releases 42nd Street Forever, a series of DVD's that bought the power of cult, low budget and niche movie trailers into the homes of viewers, themselves inspired by Quentin Tarentino's Grindhouse movie.
Watching trailers for movies from yesteryear may seem like a strangething to do, but if you're a fan of classic movies of the 60's, 70's and 80's that were far from blockbusters like myself, two hours of Trailer viewing will be right up your street. Grindhouse Trailer Classics opens a sort of vortex to the past, a glimpse at life before the dawn of the multiplex cinemas of Warner, Venue, or Cineworld.
The success of this ...
