Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends

by: Coldplay

Release Date June 12, 2008
Ok, when i first buy my cd i always drift through it, listen to the song with a gd start and gain a first impression. First impressions weren't good. so i left it a couple of weeks and decided to listen to it again, this time the whole way through. thinking i didn't like it i was pretty reluctant to do so, but i did and i was shocked, shocked at how i had completely missed coldplays aim. to create a quility album which isn't too full on. every song is brilliant in its own way, hardly any of the songs are the same but they are all great. if coldplay havn't been your thing in the past give them another go, you may be pleasantly surprised.

The Seldom Seen Kid

by: Elbow

Release Date March 17, 2008
Sorry to say I had never even heard of Elbow until I caught them on TV at this years Glastonbury.

Liked what I heard and bought the album (before they won the Mercury prize I hasten to add)

Was completely blown away by it. Have since invested in their back catalogue which have been equally impressive. All are highly recommended

It has certainly restored my interest in music .

The Script

by: Script

Release Date August 11, 2008
Once in a while a band springs into popular consciousness fully formed and dripping with talent. The Script are one such. Great voice, excellent drumming; songwriting, playing and arranging all of high quality. Other commentators have drawn parallels with John Mayer, Coldplay, Paolo Nutini and Sting, and they are not too wide of the mark. Interestingly, those comparisons are intended to highlight an unease over originality, but a common thread is also that these artists are so adept at what they do, many people find them annoying.

I was unmoved by debut single "We Cry" - they evidently listen to a lot more hip hop/R n B or whatever you'd call it than I do. The album leads off with that song, but then there follows a straight run ... Read More:

This is Alphabeat

by: Alphabeat

Release Date June 02, 2008
A cracking modern pop album that doesn't take itself too seriously or try to be anything it isn't - no po-faced deep and meaningful "message" here and all the better for it. Think somewhere between a Roxette that isn't trying so hard to be cool and a grown-up high-school musical without the schmaltz and you're about there. Don't think you don't like pop because you can't stand the bubblegum warbling that infests the charts - this is how it should be done.

Only By The Night

by: Kings Of Leon

Release Date September 22, 2008
I'm only writing a review to let you know that when it says its coming from Amazon, it actually from a company in Jersy "Indigostarfish".
It's all in good condition, but when it says NEW, I expect it to be wrapped in plastic, so I can break the seal. This wasn't!
I didn't want to leave this feedback here, but you can't rate Amazon itself.

Back to the music, in short this album is awesome.
When first heard I thought what a good album, but it gets better and now is a great album. ONE OF THE BEST!!!

Perfect Symmetry

by: Keane

Release Date October 13, 2008
It may have taken a while, but they have finally returned back to writing great songs. After a poor second album Keane have returned with a really strong third album. From start to finish this is an outstanding album which has catchy tracks such as "Spiralling" and "Better Than This."

It does take a few listens before you can really appreciate it, but with every listen it is growing on me, and I only bought it last week!

I've only given it four stars because I feel it should only have five stars if it is really outstanding!

Oracular Spectacular

by: MGMT

Release Date March 10, 2008
See how they prance on the beach. Look at the hippy's long pink shorts. Aren't they cheeky?

Good little pop number this - will never set the world alight, but a fun-filled head-nodder. Pop should be fun I think! This is as much fun as when Michael Jackson cut down a tree with his hand, or when Madonna wore coffee filters on her boobies.

A Hundred Million Suns

by: Snow Patrol

Release Date October 27, 2008
I've always liked Snow Patrol but something has always held me back from loving them.

This is a good album - and there are some great moments if you dig deep. Engines 1:55 - sudden transformation into a beautiful melody. Does it for me driving to work in the morning.

'You know I love you like an ancient history brought to life' - nice line.
