...And you will know us by the trail of dead - Worlds Apart.

I don't know quite what happened there.

The Duke Spirit.

I think Digital Ash is the better of the two, although it is still fairly meh. And not really a departure at all. It suits Obersto better than imitation country.

Are you saying you like Statistics? I saw him play this year and he wasn't too good. Is the new album good? The older one I heard wasn't.

'I turn my camera on' sounds like the Scissor Sisters.

For me Bloc Party - Silent Alarm. I liked Helicopter, Banquet and Little Thoughts when released as singles and expected more from the album. It didn't end up being too much to my taste.

That's just off the top of my head though.

i don't have any of these albums.

Yeah, I'd pretty much agree with you there.

All Mapped Out was great, but everything since has been pretty standard stuff; ie not that great. The album (and singles after All Mapped Out) isn't bad, it just doesn't deliver on early promise. A lot of people mention the bad timing of the album as well; saying that it's 6 months too late or something. I don't understand.

The Tears' album is another that I would have loved to have loved (if that makes sense) but there isn't much to suggest that they at their very best.

Doves' Some Cities is a couple of chart friendly pop songs mixed with dull filler. A million miles away from Lost Souls.

Kaiser Chief - returned to the music shop in 1 hour.

Eastern Lane - after a great first album this one just doesn´t add anything.

Idlewild - I decided that they r a completely different band compared to their beginnings. Crappy one.

I think Love Kraft is second only to Radiator of their albums.

Hey! I think the new Malkmus album is the best of his solo efforts. And I'm rather fond of the new smog (I'm so glad he's finally got rid of those stupid brackets around his name) album as well.

I wasn't overly impressed with the kid carpet album, but he's always been better live than on record.

Martin Grech - Unholy
Trying to be a little clever for his own ggood maybe.

The Team Sleep album is amazing, but then again, I wasn't expecting anything because I hadn't heard anthing. Also (technically) Mono remix album was last year.

Agree on the Doves on, specially after Black & White town was such an awsome track. I have a disturbing feeling that the new 'Size album could get the nod though, I really hope not.

Sigur Ros- Takk
This is simply awful. Mushy, souless and over-produced.

Mercury Rev- The Secret Migration
I quite like it, but I love everything else they've done so has to go down as a disappointment.

M83- Before The Dawn Heals Us
Utterly forgettable.

Kaiser Chiefs Employment.
Having heard the first few singles I was hooked. I bought the album the day it came out. It was shit. I was cured from then on. I now hate the Kaiser Chiefs.
