by: Coldplay

Release Date July 10, 2000
Parachutes is still my favourit album from Coldplay. This album contributed to coldplays success with great songs Shivers, Yellow, High Speed, Everythings not lost. What can I say one of the best English bands ever.

The Bends

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Radiohead

Release Date March 01, 1995
Many Radiohead reviews are pre occupied with comparing the band's albums. Personally I think this is meaningless. It's like trying to compare a bowl of semolina with a garden ornament. This is a different pre occupation to declaring a favourite. My favourite Radiohead album is 'Kid A' however, comparing it to 'The Bends'...Well I just wouldn't know where to start. 'The bends' is Radiohead's radio friendly era, 12 songs, 12 singles if they'd have wanted, and as with all radio friendly music the listener doesn't have to work too hard to enjoy it, the fix is instant.
' The Bends' is also about 5 equally talented musicians working together to make what is fundimentally a guitar,drums and bass masterpiece and it definately isn't about the 'Thom and Jonny show' ... Read More:

O.K Computer

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Radiohead

Release Date May 01, 1997
I must say that after listening to 'The Bends' for the past couple of months, it took a while to adapt to the ever progressing style that Radiohead have adopted with each album. The introduction to new techniques and sounds make the third album a refreshing take on the final decade of the 20th century, that shaped a lot of music we hear today.

From the outset, OK Computer produces unusual and fascinating tracks, each of them leaving a unique fingerprint behind them. The ability to relate to the music as the songs evolved from more synthesised sounds, to deep and complex rhythms truly set the basis for what would ultimately define OK Computer as a masterpiece in music.

While many would say that this is the product of Radioheads finest work, I ... Read More:

Asleep in the Back [New Version]

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Elbow

Release Date February 11, 2002
i cant believe i hear this album now! having recently bought the brilliant Leaders Of The Free World I wanted to discover Elbow. Then I listened to Cast Of Thousands next which i included in my top 10 album list. but then I listened to this album and I was totally knocked off my feet! I just love it. this is music! reading other reviews I was deeply dissapointed they were compared to other bands. some of the reviews which compare elbow to say coldplay would have put off buying this record. If u like music then get all the albums by Elbow. Another band I thought I should recommend is I Am Kloot.

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: The Cure

Release Date November 11, 2001
This is a good selection of pop songs...

But those seeking 'what the cure are really all about' should either by the albums or get join the dots (because some of those B-sides are amazing).
The Cure were about long atmospheric pieces of music which conjure up images in your head and evoke moods without even hearing the lyrics. When the lyrics do come they are usually delivered in a despairing hopeless way, or wailed, by Robert Smith and his masterfully unique voice, in the world of Pop/Rock.

Best songs suited for this are all the tracks on 'pornography', and charlotte sometimes, none of which included here.

This is the lighter bouncier commercial side of the Cure. Songs you WILL have heard before but didn't know who it was. Except everyone ... Read More:

James: The Best Of

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: James

Release Date June 18, 1999
Best of albums are normally thought of as a cop out by bands to fill in time, and make some money.

But every so often they are just a wonderful display of talent that is there to be enjoyed by everyone.

This album should be in everyones collection. Whenever you hear a james song on the radio you prick your ears up, and tap your feet.

Nobody thinks they know any James songs (Apart from Sit Down), but listen to this, and you will remember so many amazing hits from the 90's.

James sat quietly in the background while Stone Roses and Happy Mondays were the headline grabbers.

But just becaue they are not as "famous" don't let that put you off.

This is without doubt the very best, "best of" album ever.

Disintegration

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: The Cure

Release Date March 19, 2001
A reviewer at the time of release said "Phew! there's not much room to breathe in here" and they were absolutely right.

The overall feel and sound of this recording is almost suffocating and that's a shame because this could have been a truly great Cure album. It's true to say that in many respects the Cure were going through the motions by this stage but Smith's musical talent had yet to vanish entirely.

Part of the problem is the production. It's stodgy. I don't think anybody but Smith had much say in it's recording. However, we do get great tracks like 'Lullaby' and 'Pictures Of You' that somehow escaped the midnight pillow of death.

The real star of the show is the final track 'Untitled'. I'd always written it off until I saw them perform it on the 'Trilogy' ... Read More:
