| Texas - White on blonde / nach wie vor hörenswert | 2019-06-26
Obwohl doch schon etwas älter - ich meine die Musik :-) - immer noch gut und keineswegs unzeitgemäß. Ich mag die Einfachheit der Musik, ohne viel Bass und Elektronik ... Rock-Pop und eine angenehme Stimme.
Viele der Lieder kennt man ("say what you want", "black-eyed boy", "halo"); ich mag diese Gruppe!

| Muy bueno | 2019-02-28
Mi primer disco me ha llegado a los 40 años. Es tal y como lo recordaba, el mejor disco de Texas.

| Mejor disco de Texas | 2018-03-28
Mejor disco de Texas hasta la fecha. Variedad en las composiciones, muchos hits y una cantante es estado de gracia.

Solid songwriting. I hadn't heard most of these before, but I like the album, with some non-standard fare and decent lyrics on more than a few. Recommended.

Compre este disco porque es uno de mis favoritos del grupo. Lo tuvo mi hermano y lo quería yo. Error fue comprarlo de segunda mano, no hay ni una sola canción en el cd que no este rayada. Que decepción por comprar barato.

Ce produit correspond à mes attentes, le CD et boitier sont arrivés en bon état. L'écoute ne présente aucun défaut.

| Eine Band in ihrer starken Phase | 2012-09-04
Texas sind eine sehr angenehme britische Popband, die zwar 1986 gegründet worden, dennoch erst mit "Southside" 1989 so
richtig das Licht der Musikwelt erblickten. Der Stil der Band verbindet über die Jahre gesehen Blues, Rock, Pop und Soul.
Auf "White On Blonde" befindet sich der kleine Welthit "Say What You Want". Ein Liebeslied, welches deutlich dem Gitarrenpop
zuzuordnen ist. Der Übergang von Strophe zu Bridge zu Chorus ist hier sehr stark gelungen. Auch sehr

| The transition has started | 2009-08-27
As owner of the first 5 Texas CD's, this album marked the obvious transition of sound, song writing and direction that foretold Texas artistic dive yet assisted their commercial success overseas. After developing a listening relationship with their first 3 CD's, they changed gears and even after repeated listening I could never enjoy the ride. That said, this is by far better than "The Hush" and is quite tolerable. They are in their most experimentive mood to date and if you

| White On Blonde - Texas | 2007-12-14
Diese 1997 erschienene CD von Texas bringt leichte, gefällige und unaufdringliche Popmusik - man kann sie gut anhören. Heraussticht "Say what you want" und "White on blonde". Wohl sind die Texte der einzelnen anspruchsvoller, aber dies findet man erst bei mehrmaligem Anhören heraus. Diese CD erreicht wohl nicht ganz die Klasse der 1999 erschienenen "The Hush" ist aber insgesamt eine gelungene Zusammenstellung. Man kann sie, ohne schlechtes Gewissen zu haben,

| 2,0 sur 5 étoiles
Le début de la fin | 2007-11-12
"Southside", leur premier disque en 1989 prometteur pour la suite, puis "mother's heaven" (1991) avec de très bons morceaux comme son titre eponyme, why believe in you, Alone with you... Leur meilleur disque, "Ricks road" (1993) avec Fade away, I want to go to heaven, Listen to me...une excellente guitare solo, une vraie basse, une batterie avec un type qui a des baguettes dans les mains!!, de belles intros et la superbe voix de Sharleen Spiteri, du rock quoi!
|
| Pure pop heaven. | 2007-04-15
My favorite songs:
Say What You Want
Halo
Put Your Arms Around Me
Insane
White on Blonde
Ticket To Lie
Breathless
In particular I want to nominate "Put Your Arms Around Me" for one of the best pop songs ever, for the way it build up to the 3:00 minute mark and then just goes to another level. That's what differentiates the good from the great.

| seems to lack something | 2005-12-01
There's some really nice songs on this album, Black-Eyed Boy, Halo, Say What You Want. Those three were released as singles in the UK and got loads of airplay. The rest of the album is equaly well produced, there's no bad songs, but I just find I get bored of this album too easily, it seems to lack something, and I dont listen to it often. When I do, the feeling always surfaces that the music isnt pulling all the right strings.
If you see it in the bargain bin it's worth a shot, but

| Simple, great music ! | 2005-09-11
True beauty of Texas' music is its simplicity. They really can write amazingly simple, yet catchy songs which just grow on you with every time you listen. "White on Blonde" is the culmination of their work through the years which I believe paid off very well for them. Buy this album, enjoy good soft rock music, save live music, love Texas !
|
| Die Leichtigkeit des Tiefgangs | 2005-04-23
Chapeau Texas!
Mich überrascht diese Band bis heute - von vor allem positiv bis bisweilen negativ.
Diese Platte allerdings ist grandios. Sharleen Spiteri hat eine Leichtigkeit von Dingen zu singen, die mich schier umhaut. Man ist sich manchmal nicht sicher: Ist das jetzt tiefgründig und hochemotional intelligent was sie darbietet oder...seicht?
Es ist beides; genau das, was ich von Popmusik erwarte: Intelligente, treffende Texte vereint mit eingängiger Melodie, gut arrangierten Instrumenten

als "white on blonde" damals rauskam, war ich am höhepunkt meiner jugend. und das album war auch der soundtrack all der dinge, die damals passierten. ich schreibe das, weil man dadurch natürlich in seiner rezension vorbelastet ist - immerhin endete meine bis dato ernsthafteste beziehung zu "put your arms around me", nachdem sie mit "halo" begonnen hat. aber ganz abgesehen davon ist "white on blonde" eine großartige scheibe, die man genußvoll zu hause oder

| Simply wonderful | 2004-07-26
The very first time I ever listen to this band (Texas) was during the spring of 1997...I was in Amsterdam and I immediately fell in love with this group....Well its 7 years later and I still love them...it bring back good and wonderful memories...God bless them :)
|
| this album had to grow on me. | 2004-07-11
texas is one of my favorite bands but this album had to grow on me as i prefer the earlier work-southside, ricks road and mothers heaven. if you dont own these albums and love texas as i do then BUY them! i saw them at the roxy in los angeles in the early 90s-incredible concert, sharleen has such a powerful presence and voice. a beautiful album and still one that i could listen to everyday and not tire of.

| This Album Sparkles | 2003-04-29
Upon listening to this, it's like being hit with rays of sun. Although unrecognized in North America, this album is constantly ranked high on 'Best Of' polls in The UK, and deservedly so. 'White On Blonde' is sparkling feel-good pop for those who have lived life...an ode to the human experience with an undercurrent of maturity. Front and center is the wonderful range of Sharleen Spiteri's voice, who straddles between Deborah Harry, Diana Ross and Black Box Recorder's
|
| Unterschätzt ! | 2003-04-10
Für mich, die beste Texas Platte: Say what you want war verdientermaßen ein Hit und nach dreimaligem Hören, kristallisiert sich Put your arms around me als Toptrack heraus.
Irgendwie scheint es, als würden auf dieser Scheibe nicht nur die ewiggleichen Themen des Pop verhandelt, sondern mehr ... ja, was eigentlich? Wohl nur ein frommer Wunsch.
Oder doch, wenn man genau hinhört ...!
|
| A more than noteworthy release | 2001-08-22
Taking all aspects into account this album is more style than substance, but not by too much. It has mainstream appeal but now and then borders on alterna territory (maybe 'middle of the road' but I don't think it quite deserves to be dismissed so readily). Despite good production and musical ability, arguably the one thing that holds White on Blonde together is Spiteri's arresting vocals. On a more biased note I'm glad I discovered Texas through this album instead of their

| Breathless, simply | 2001-03-16
I own all 5 Texas CDs, and this is the most unique. The last track, "Breathless," is amazing. For those of you who own this, please take the time to listen to "Breathless" for its yearning sexiness and infectious energy. All though I have listened to every song several times, this is not an album I can play in its entirety. If you are a non-Texas fan, I would recommend either Southside or Mothers Heaven for your first album as those are more raw and passionate (and

| 'Blonde' Ambition | 2001-02-09
Though they had been around for nearly a decade, Texas didn't get any real notice here in the states until this album, albeit limited exposure through soundtracks and movies. This album should have had a more dramatic impression on the U.S., but unfortunately didn't. Vocalist Sharleen Spiteri and company traffic in various avenues of music, including Motown sounds on the title track and rock on the track 'Postcard'. And no one can hear'Put Your Arms Around Me' and not

| THIS WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!! | 2001-01-20
I first heard this group on a movie soundtrack and couldn't get the song "Say What You Want" out of my head. I had to buy the CD if only for this song, but I was so amazed by the entire CD. I can't believe this group hasn't exploded onto the American scene with their sexy, soulful,unique sound! "Say What You Want" is still my favorite, but listen for yourself!
|
| Pop Class | 2000-10-24
Texas are somewhat of a phenomenon in the UK & Europe, with over 8 million sales of their last 2 albums alone, and a 12 year run in the music iindustry. Best known for singing the theme tune of Ellen in America (based on their song So Called Friend) Sharleen Spiteri & band let rip on this classic album containing the achingly gorgeous Put Your Arms Around Me, the infectiously catchy Balck-Eyed Boy & Halo as well as the cool & mesemrising hits INsane & Say What You Want.
|
| A pleasant surprise. | 2000-10-10
A pleasant mix of pop sounds ranging from soft easy listening to Motown-like songs sung by a very pleasant sounding lead singer.
|
| No depth | 2000-08-06
I bought this album after the large amount of radio airplay the singles recieved. I wasn't disappointed, the songs are great. However I soon got tired of listening to it. I dn't know how to explain it, the music is impeccable, but it somehow seems to lack any soul. Still, I enjoyed it while it lasted.
|
| Heal yourself with the help of this CD ! | 2000-06-07
It's a marvellous album ! I've loved TEXAS since 1994, "Ricks Road". "The Hush" is completely different from "White on blonde" but I'd also give it 5 stars. This band is perfect in expressing their feelings in music and Sharleen has a voice to die for ! So, if you get the chance to see and hear Shar, Ally, Johnny and the others live - you should take it ! Love, Jessica ; ) P.S.:send me an e-mail if you want to! to!

| absolutely necesarry | 2000-04-06
this is what i call karma repair. this CD makes me all warm and fuzzy inside -- it reminds me of the wonderful feeling of first falling in love.. and staying that way. please own it, for your own karma's sake.
|
| Great pop album. | 2000-04-03
This album sounds so complete. Great vocals from Sharleen, and moody music. One of the better albums of the 90's.
|
| If you're gonna buy Texas, buy this. | 2000-03-21
Where to start? If you've heard and loved the singles from White On Blonde, you won't be disappointed with the content of the rest of the album which maintains a high standard throughout. Spiteri's singing is near-faultless and the band seems to have an instinctive feel for their music - from the lethargic 'Put Your Arms Around Me' to the pacier 'Black-Eyed Boy' instrumentation and vocals help to give the album a distinctive sound. Yes, it is dangerously middle
|
| An almost flawless collection of great pop songs | 2000-01-06
If you've heard the singles and liked them, then don't hesitate to buy this album. The other tracks are every bit as strong as the singles. Every one is a gem in it's own right. Strong melodies and Sharleen's beautiful voice make for an incredible album that I never tire of. Any fan of good music, could not fail to enjoy this album. Make sure you also check out their latest album, "The Hush". It's almost as good as this one!
|
| Fell in love with the CD on first listen! | 1999-05-17
Great CD. Reminds me a bit of Saint Ettiene and a softer Garbage. Just love the whole thing!
|
| Prior work was better | 1999-02-02
White On Blonde is well produced, and Sharleen's voice is wonderful as always. The band performs splendidly, and the songs are well crafted. Unfortunately, the lyrics are a little weak, and they get a little repetitive.I personally prefer earlier work, particularly Ricks Road. On those, Sharleen sings in a lower register and sounds wonderful. The higher pitch of her singing on White On Blonde can wear after a while.

What is Trustami
Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.
We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.
Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.
Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
