Metal Machine Music.

Awesome record.

Mansun's Six get knocked quite a bit? That was well ace though!

!

all three albums by The Music, and the latter two especially have been panned in most places.

Bows&Arrows get slated? i like that

'Welcome To The North'.

A misguided, over-reaching attempt to crack America which finishes with the ridiculously trite and overwrought 'Open Your Mind'. But I love it.

I like it, not as good as Lost Riots but still good!

The soundtrack to my teenage years when I was skinny.

And also the band that caused the first conversation I ever had with my now fiancee.

Pullhair Rubeye by Avey Tare and Kria Brekkan.

It's far from a perfect album, but i prefer it to any album Sonic Youth have done since.

Also Rehearsing My Choir by The Fiery Furnaces. I'll ignore the fact that NME gave Blueberry Boat 1/10 because most of the proper reviews were favourable.

by Travis Morrison. The unfortunate recipient of a 0.0 from Pitchfork. It's a really good record!

It took this Ariel Pink cohort five years to write and record his debut album, and only five minutes to become more annoying than Ariel Pink.
- CMJ

For me, this is just too weird. The first couple of tracks make this the most skip-able album of 2006.
-Subba Cultcha

Apparently, Maus spent five years working on this album, which is a shame because, frankly, its awful.
-Vice

There isn't one song you could call 'good' on the whole album.
-Music Zine

Overall, I can't recommend this album even as a novelty listen. Maybe I just don't get it. It seems as if Maus sabotages practically any hint of an interesting melody, lyric, or instrumental part with a blatantly grating one at almost every turn.
-Indie Workshp

Maus's baroquely deadpan voice - and thats being polite - effectively spoils many a song. Some will hear a little Nick Cave in it; others will hear a man crapping out of his mouth.
-Drowned in Sound

If it is supposed to be funny, it is not. If it is meant seriousy, then Maus needs some SERIOUS help.
-Another Zine

Album of the year - Me!!! :)

John Maus - Songs

So the critics complained on Room On Fire about them sounding the same and being unoriginal. They then proceed to make a completely different and new sounding album and it gets critically panned even though it's first five songs are some of the best five opening songs to an album in this decade.

Even the slower pretentious songs are great to me, nothing like any of their other work and every song is great to me, except Killing Lies.

Lightspeed Champion - Falling Off The Lavender Bridge
Bloc Party - Weekend In The City
Editors - An End Has A Start

I think she's truly wonderful (aside from the dodgy Spanish songs on Loose).

Whatever it was called. Fab record.

I've said this before, and I've said it again - this has some of the best dual rock guitar of any albums ever, and I really like the completely empty Albini production. The album is really dark and atmpospheric. I'm not joking!

Yes, Gavin Rossdale is a pretty despisable character (at least from his public demeanour), and all subsequent Bush albums (that I've heard) have been absolute tosh, but seriously, I think its one of the biggest cases of "follow the leader" ever - the fact that people just accept the NME 0/10 review is a bit silly.

It's by no means the best album of all time, or probably even of that year, but any budding guitarist can learn a lot from this album.

I repeat, this isn't a joke!

Is my favourite Daft Punk album.

got bad reviews by Radiohead standards didn't it?

I prefer it to The Bends though, and Amnesiac. And Pablo Honey...

And yet its still one of the best things ever... so yeah, that.

Nocturama is *that* bad. I don't listen to it very much but there's a few good songs on it.

Although I think it got a 8/10 in NME at the time. Nevertheless everyone else seems to hate it.

i think it is universally seen as his worst album and that it wasnt a serious record but i think it's one of his strongest albums as a whole. certainly a more consistent and enjoyable effort than a lot of his others.

Worlds Apart. There's more I'm sure, but that one immediately springs to mind.

I think it has some thoroughly decent songs on it. Not perfect by any yardstick, but it's definitely not shite.

The Zwan album. A big favourite of mine.

amazing album - also relaxed muscle and metal machine music! there are definitely more...

Something like 2/10 in NME. Can relate to the lyrics for some reason

Take them on, on your own
