I really wanted to like their music I borrowed this album from the library and I am really glad I didn't buy it. Terrible it was like nails on a chalkboard I just wanted it to end.

Oracular Spectacular

by: MGMT

Release Date March 10, 2008
Sorry for this short and lazy review - which is no reflection of my feelings for this album. Oracular Spectacular is superb, MGMT is superb. And going for a bargain price at the time of writing too!

Crap Attack [CD + DVD]

by: We Are Scientists

Release Date November 06, 2006
A very unusual but still fabulous collection of WAS songs. It contains some tracks which I believe were good enough to be on their album.

I would recommend getting this just for the DVD itself, which contains a WAS's gig in Shepherds Bush Empire!

A must have for WAS fans!

Vampire Weekend

by: Vampire Weekend

Release Date January 28, 2008
Unlike some other reviewers I never listen to Radio 1 and I am immune to any hype that's going around. This is a refreshing and different sound and I would recommend it to anyone. Like other old farts I was a fan of Paul Simon's African phase, and love the sound. I get the impression these guys are doing this for the joy of the music, not to get more sales, and to me that makes all the difference.

The Wombats Proudly Present... A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation

by: Wombats

Release Date November 05, 2007
I gambled on this CD, only having listened to Moving to New York on XFM...

Glad I did to be honest as it's a very honest and uplifting CD, one of the best I've heard since Snow Patrol's "Final Straw" and Hard-Fi's "Stars of CCTV". If you need a guide as to their sound, think the Arctics stirred with Blur and add a dash of Julian cope (Teardrop Explodes - ask your dad!)

The afore-mentioned Moving to New York is a superb single, with great guitars one of the album's rocking tracks. Let's Dance to Joy Division brings back memories and always raises a smile. There are some weaker tracks but overall there are a varied ensemble of original and lively songs on offer here.

Only a three-piece, the Wombats deliver ... Read More:

Wait for Me

by: Pigeon Detectives

Release Date May 28, 2007
This album is brilliant,and although it sounds typical of its genre, it sounds unique and it does not sound boring or generic.

Instead, you can expect track after track of infectiously catchy, punchy, indie pop-rock with great instrumentals and vocals as well as well thought out lyrics.

You've undoubtly heard I Found Out. If you liked that song, you will like the rest of the album. There are no throwaway tracks on this album and each is as good as the rest.

Antidotes

by: Foals

Release Date March 24, 2008
I first heard of Foals through a friend and egged me on to buy their album, the opening of the French Open grabbed my attention, such a classy intro of guitars and the slow build up

My favourite 2 tracks on the album are Cassius and Red Sock Pugie, Cassius opens with plucky guitar and collective vocals, an interesting sound that will grow on you, all the way through the album it changes stance and will then come in with something different, the final track Tron i thought was just going to be an indie album filler, but it again builds up and just gives you that feeling of leaving you wanting more.

Superb debut album and in my current top 20 albums ever.

If you like Foals and are Electro-indie inclined try Late of the ... Read More:

An End Has a Start

by: Editors

Release Date June 25, 2007
I have the first album and as a lot of people have said the Joy Division sounds are there at the first listen but frankly once you listen to the Editors a bit more it becomes difficult to see any likeness.

This second album is a bit more melodic than the first but im amazed how it has grown on me. Frankly once I really got into it the darkness you hear at first lifts. This album is emotional - not dark or depressing - and I love it for that. Nothing like Joy Division who I am a fan of but can only take in small doses.

If you are open minded (and yes the lyrics are pretty simple) then this album is worth a shot. Give it time.
