User blog:RD1997/Rock & Roll Preschool: Your Thoughts

So thanks to a You Tube user I've now seen the music video for almost all of the songs on Rock & Roll Preschool, and it looks pretty cool. I love that Simon is seen playing instruments a small handful of times throughout the video as it's a nice change.

Who is that playing the drums in "Gloomy Galah"?

I love how they used "It's OK to Cry" to pay tribute to Emma's grandmother. I feel bad because until I saw this video today I thought she was still alive.

As for the re-recordings of past songs, I think that the 2009 concert version of Ballerina Ballerina is still my favorite and the orginial version of Balla Balla Bambina is loads better than the one featured here.

My favorite song so far is "That's The Sound of Rock & Roll". Like "What's Your Favorite Nursery Rhyme?" it's one of those overview songs of what the video's about, and I really seem to get those songs stuck in my head.

The Rock & Roll Preschool song I did not like because it was repetitve. I'll take Rise For Alex anyday, it's rhythm is better and it doesn't repeat the exact same thing three times over.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours? Sound off in the comments!
