Hold Your Colour

by: Pendulum

Release Date August 06, 2007
This is more of a warning than a review. Basically, every track on the album has two seconds of silence at the end, including the first track "Prelude" which should seamlessly merge into "Slam". Other than this one instance it isn't that annoying, but if that kind of thing would irritate you, you may be better off looking for the original version of the album, which was mixed properly: Hold Your Colour

If you are looking to put the album on a computer or portable media player (iPod, etc.) there are workarounds for this. Once you have bought and ripped the album to your computer, either download a replacement copy of "Prelude" from the original, or edit the track yourself using a program like Audacity. In terms of whether this album ... Read More:

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!!!

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.

The Age of the Understatement

by: The Last Shadow Puppets

Release Date April 21, 2008
I got this for nothing, fortunately. I can't understand all the comparisons with Scott Walker. Yes, there is an orchestra involved and the arrangements are very full and reminiscent of the sixties but the voice!!! Aargh! It's horrible. And the lyrics are pathetic. Overrated, overstated, overblown. It gets two stars for the very good musicianship and interesting arrangements. But that voice...

Vampire Weekend

by: Vampire Weekend

Release Date January 28, 2008
After hearing A-Punk what sane music lover couldn't want this album?

But with few tracks being as fun or catchy I was slightly disappointed. The album failed to make me bop continuously for the 34.2 minutes like i was expecting instead bringing out a slightly less catchy side. It's still listenable... Just not as listenable as I wanted it to be.

I'd give it a 7/10 in all.

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.

Death Magnetic Limited Edition

by: Metallica

Release Date September 12, 2008
well after a few good reports i finally brought the album and i will have to admit after 15 times listening to it i am still dissappointed, yes the raw musical power is back with some great gitar work and drum work, but and heres the massive but for me there are no songs on there that are truely great songs the lirics to me seemed to be totaly forgotten, indeed even on the 15th play i couldn't sing along to any songs (even while driving along with the music turned up) at least with st anger you had a couple of tracks that blew me away
don't know what went wrong but this ain't in my top 10 of metallica albums

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 .

Music For An Accelerated Culture

by: Hadouken!

Release Date May 05, 2008
its so-so. all the tracks sound pretty similar though. But I'm not a major Hadouken fan.
If you like tracks like That Boy That Girl, Liquid Lives and Leap Of Faith then this isn't really for you........
