The Script

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Script

Release Date August 11, 2008
Have to admit that I love all kinds of music. My recent purchases have been from Coldplay to Vampire Weekend but the musical highlight of the last number of months has been this debut album from The Script.
I could spend the next two days explaining why I rate it so much but I am not. Your probaly thinking he is Irish and they like to support their own but no. My advice to you is buy it, you will not be disappointed.
Talent will always shine.

Fleet Foxes

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Fleet Foxes

Release Date June 16, 2008
My music tastes usually have to include talented musical playing ability i.e.Porcupine Tree, Keith Jarrett, Jimi Hendrix, Weather Report etc so it unusual for me to rave about an album based on singing and harmony vocals but the Fleet Foxes have given me an album that I have not enjoyed so much for years. I dont do a bundle on singers apart from Jeff Buckley,Thom Yorke, early Neil Young and Lowell George but the phrasing of the vocals on these delightful songs really hit the spot. Could be too mellow for some but on further and repeated listening it is ever so rewarding. Im raving to my friends(those with musical taste) so much about the Fleet Foxes that I feel the need to write my first ever review. Buy this album now.

We Started Nothing

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Ting Tings

Release Date May 19, 2008
I can't believe I bought this. When I first heard the Ting Ting's I thought they were dreadful. It sounded like really naff cheesy pop. And it is, but it's also very catchy and I have to admit I like it. The more I hear it the more it grows on me. It's not cool to like it, but that doesn't mean it's not okay to like it. It's just probably best not to admit it to people when you first meet them. That's Not My Name is probably the best pop tune of the year for me.

Dear Science

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: TV On The Radio

Release Date September 22, 2008
Great imaginative album.

Only fails to get 5 stars from me due to a truly terrible track (Stork & Owl) which is so bland and anonymous it can't even be called a filler.

Even this doesn't detract from me rating a very special album very highly

Perfect Symmetry

by: Keane

Release Date October 13, 2008
This is a very good album with catchy and epic melodies. Perfect symmetry is a real winner which still maintains the classic keane standards. 5*!

Dig Out Your Soul: +DVD

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Oasis

Release Date October 06, 2008
I've been an Oasis fan since I was 11 - I'm now 24 - and agree with the previous reviewer re: people's expectations. Oasis are never going to suddenly completely change their style to try and please fickle magazine critics. They know what their fans like and they know what works for them. That's not to say Dig Out Your Soul is identical to previous albums, it does have plenty of new ideas and sounds - try listening for all the different sound effects they use in the songs. They're older, wiser and it shows in the lyrics. Liam in particular is really developing as a songwriter. I'm Outta Time is one of my favourites on the album, along with The Shock of the Lightning, the opener Bag It Up, (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady, Falling Down, Ain't Got Nothin' and To Be Where There's ...

Asleep in the Back

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Elbow

Release Date July 01, 2006
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.

Off With Their Heads

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Kaiser Chiefs

Release Date October 20, 2008
This is a perfectly pleasant collection of short sharp pop songs, but it's becoming obvious after three albums that The Kaiser Chiefs aren't ever going to try and reinvent the wheel. They do what they do, and that's it ... blur-lite (circa parklife).

If you enjoyed the first two albums you'll enjoy this one as well. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

The Age Of The Understatement

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: The Last Shadow Puppets

Release Date April 21, 2008
This is SUCH a good album, with Alex Turner's nimble vocals to the fore set amidst some sumptuous string arrangements which take you right back to the 60s.
I heard this first whilst browsing in a music shop and instantly it touched a chord - and it only grows on you from there, with different songs staying in your head for days. You feel like dancing down Carnaby Street in your crushed velvet jacket when this is playing, with Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased of course) at your side. Trust me - and buy it. My album of the year.
