| Deftones White Pony |
| With White Pony, Deftones evolved from being a great nu metal band into one of the best bands from the whole metal genre in general. This album is more experimental than their first two albums with influences from trip hop and shoegaze. Tracks like 'Change (In the House of Flies)' and 'Pink Maggit' perfectly capture the haunting post-metal sound that the band would emerge with. I wouldn't say it's Deftones' finest as many others say it is but it's still a brilliant record. |
| Deftones Diamond Eyes |
| Diamond Eyes is an expansion on the post-metal (heavy metal fused with shoegaze) sound that Deftones created on Saturday Night Wrist with some slow killer tracks with some amazing haunting melodies and Chino Moreno providing some of his best vocal work yet on the album either when he's crooning or screaming into the mic. Following bassist Chi Cheng's accident and subsequent collapse into a coma, the band pulled through with this amazing album that rivals Saturday Night Wrist as the band's best work. |

| Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible |
| Manic Street Preachers Generation Terrorists |
| Everybody normally associates the Manic Street Preachers with radio friendly Britpop hits like 'A Design for Life' and 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' though rewind back to the early 90s and they were a much different band. Originally a hard rock outfit with punk influences, the Manics gained a large cult following with their first three albums mainly because of their now missing rhythm guitarist and ghost frontman Richey Edwards. Generation Terrorists is a very bombastic and heavy debut album that mixes in a Brit punk attitude and socialist philosophy with glam metal riffs and delivers a strong over the top album that shocked the British music scene with its 18 tracks filled with a that displayed a cocky middle finger to mainstream music. 'Motorcycle Emptiness' however proves that they could write a heartfelt ballad in the midst of all the heavy rock this album throws at you. This is one of my favourite albums of all time and definitely worth a listen to those who haven't heard any of the band's Richey era material. |

| Muse Origin of Symmetry |
| Origin of Symmetry is a real progression from Muse's slow burning debut Showbiz. This album is just amazing in its delivery and songwriting. Songs like 'New Born', 'Bliss' and 'Citizen Erased' are terrific post-rock numbers mixed with progressive compositions and 'Plug In Baby' shows the band can produce a rousing chorus with impressive vocals and explosive guitar work from Matt Bellamy, who is one of my favourite frontmen in rock. Even the cover of 'Feeling Good' is completely turned around and made into a Muse song in its own right whilst retaining the jazzy medley of the original. This album is a real journey and remains one of my favourites. |

| Manic Street Preachers Everything Must Go |
| Everything Must Go shows the Manics reinventing themselves after the loss of Richey Edwards. After the post-punk fury the band threw themselves in with The Holy Bible, they decided to adopt a more radio friendly rock sound with their fourth album that whilst clearly showing the absence of Richey, showed they could still pull off some amazing rock songs with poppish hooks. Some of the tracks are formed of lyrics that Richey wrote before he went missing and give these songs a dark undercurrent. The band did the transition from rebellious hard rockers to commercial climbers very well and the album still sounds impressive after almost twenty years. |
| Manic Street Preachers Gold Against The Soul |
| After the punk explosion that was Generation Terrorists garnered the Manics some level of critical acclaim as well as a large cult following, the band calmed down a bit on their second effort, the introspective Gold Against the Soul. This album's more indie rock direction alienated many fans of the band and was panned by critics yet time has been very kind to it in my opinion. The band themselves have disowned this album but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it so much. Some of my favourite Manics songs are here on this album like the terrifically written power rock song 'La Tristesse Durera' and the electrifying opening song 'Sleepflower'. Each of the four members plays their part here with James Dean Bradfield providing some excellent guitar work and rich vocal deliveries, Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire write some of the best lyrics in rock music and Wire does some pretty cool bass lines and Sean Moore is a very sufficient drummer. It's not as hard-hitting for me as Generation Terrorists or The Holy Bible but it's miles better than people give it credit for. |

| A very powerful debut from this Icelandic six piece. Of Monsters and Men have a much more original and honest approach to their folk roots than say Mumford and Sons. The songs flow together beautifully on this album and possess a cool breeze to them. This album proves that indie folk can still be great. |

| Queen Innuendo |
| Many long running bands seem to run out of steam by the time of their last few albums and with Queen (who made several great albums but also a few stinkers) you'd expect their last few records before Freddie Mercury's tragic death to be average at best. However, Innuendo is not only a terrific swansong for Mercury, but also the band's masterpiece. Featuring some of their most progressive material since the 70s along with the bittersweet ballads The Show Must Go On and These Are the Days of Our Lives, this was a great sendoff for such an influential band in music. |

| Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the Head |
Whilst Parachutes didn't really do it for me despite some moments of brilliance, A Rush of Blood
to the Head is a more consistent record from Coldplay. The songs have more of an emotional
resonance and don't feel as over the top or cheesy as before. 'In My Place' and 'The Scientist'
are sentimental songs but not too much that they become sappy and desperate. 'Clocks' however has
to be my favourite Coldplay song. The piano compo just sells it for me. Overall, this is my
favourite album by them though it's not exactly great. It's just very good. |
| Coldplay Parachutes |
| I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Coldplay nor am I part of the hate camp for them. I enjoy the odd song by them and I even like a few of their albums. Aside from the tendency of verging into sentimental zone, they're a more than decent band for me. Parachutes is an okay debut album from the group though it is let down by their usual trademark 'whine' songwriting and musicianship. Still, songs like 'Shiver' and 'Yellow' are terrific ballads with some emotional profoundness to them. Not their best but not awful either. |

| Lostprophets Start Something |
| Start Something is a more commercial album than the Lostprophets' raw nu metal debut Thefakesoundofprogress though in my opinion, it's more enjoyable and dare I say a masterpiece. Here, the band delivered some amazing anthemic tunes like 'Last Train Home' and 'Make a Move' along with more heavy sounding tracks like 'Burn Burn' and the title track. There are also occasional moments into more simple sounding rock tunes like 'I Don't Know' and 'Last Summer' which provide a good balance to the overall heaviness of this album. The instrumentation from the band is impressive and the songwriting whilst nothing amazing (though we shouldn't be expecting Richey Edwards level of lyricism here) is competent and works well alongside the compositions. Quite simply put, this is mainstream rock done right. |

| Manic Street Preachers This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours |
| This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours is an album that I hated at first as the Welsh rockers made an album that lost their caustic roots in favour of more poppish ballads. Over time, however, the album really does grow on you and Nicky Wire's songwriting is very impressive as this was his first time as solo lyricist. The non-single tracks work better for me than the popular singles this album boasted like 'My Little Empire' and 'Born a Girl' though some songs do get a bit whiney like 'The Everlasting' and 'SYMM' I feel could've been removed as the closing track. Nowhere near the band's best but I still really like it and worth owning if you're a fan of the band's work. |

| Muse Showbiz |
| Showbiz is a very underrated album that whilst not without its faults, is still a great debut album from one of the best rock bands in the business today. The tracks range from abrasive hard rock tunes like 'Muscle Museum' and 'Cave' to more mellow and haunting ballads like 'Unintended' without being wildly uneven. As a Muse album, it doesn't hold up as well as the next three albums but it's never dull and rarely loses its replay factor with its amazing tracks. |

| My Chemical Romance I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love |
| Anyone familiar with My Chemical Romance because of The Black Parade or Danger Days will be surprised by I Brought You My Bullets. The band's low budget debut is their heaviest work with more of a post-hardcore screamo sound with metal influences than the hard rock/pop punk sound they would be known for. Gerard Way's screams work really well and Ray Toro delivers some great piercing guitar work. Considering that the album was merely recorded in over a week, it's a very solid punky album. I personally don't consider it as strong as the band's later work as some tracks do sound a bit samey and lack much versatility but it's still a blast. |

| Paramore are one of those pop punk/emo pop groups with the capacity to produce some catchy killer songs without slipping into melodrama or shallow songwriting. Riot! is just plain old fun. It's not groundbreaking nor is it the band's finest but it's still a very good pop album. 'Misery Business' and 'That's What You Get' are amazing anthems and Hayley Williams delivers some truly amazing vocal work here. The band's fanbase almost put me off them as they tend to be part of the whole Twilight club but that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying this band. |

| An improvement over their debut LP yet some generic tracks keep the band from elevating to their true potential. They seem to have too much in common with fellow Welsh post-hardcore rockers Lostprophets and Funeral for a Friend that The Blackout never really seem to possess anything original to their sound. Still, 'Shut the Fuck Uppercut' is a tremendous opener with some great screamo vocals and 'Save Ourselves' is one of their greatest hits. |

| You Me At Six Sinners Never Sleep |
Sinners Never Sleep is You Me At Six's heaviest record and returns the band to their post-hardcore
roots with screamo guest vocals from Oli Sykes and Winston McCall along with harder guitar riffs.
This should appeal to those who didn't like the more pop-orientated direction the group went in
with Hold Me Down though the band also throw in songs like 'No One Does It Better' and 'Crash' for
good measure. As someone whose opinion of the band varies from album to album, this is them at
their best with its harder and more abrasive sound though it's still You Me At Six so don't expect
something like In Utero here. |

| Asking Alexandria From Death to Destiny |
| The last AA album to feature Danny Worsnop and shows the band maturing from their past two albums. Coming as someone who isn't an Asking fan, I found myself enjoying this album more than I expected. The band's musicianship and songwriting has definitely improved and Worsnop's vocals aren't as obnoxious as they were on their first record. I have to say that there's even songs that I legitimately enjoy on this record. However, the lyrics at times can still be shallow and juvenile and the album suffers from some tonal inconsistency as the band are unable to decide whether to stick to their trademark metalcore sound or move into a more hard rock/pop metal style a la Guns N'Roses or Motley Crue. Asking's best album yet though and I hope they continue to mature in style as they do have a lot of potential. |

| Lostprophets The Fake Sound Of Progress |
It's very hard to talk about Lostprophets now without mentioning the unfortunate and depressing
circumstances that brought about their break up last year. Whilst Ian Watkins is a disgraceful
sick person, I don't think it should really detract from discussing Lostprophets in terms of their
music because in their heyday, they were a very solid band and were one of my favourites in my
teens. Thefakesoundofprogress, the group's independently produced debut, is a far cry from their
later emo-imbued stadium rock with more of a nu metal sound in the same vein as Incubus and early
Deftones. Don't let that genre-label put you off however as this is a very enjoyable album. The
songs have a very cool raw energy to them and don't lose their replay factor. 'Shinobi vs Dragon
Ninja' and the title track are hard hitting nu metal anthems (the latter especially) but tracks
like 'Five is a Four Letter Word', 'Kobrakai' and 'The Handsome Life of Swing' also carry great
punches. 'A Thousand Apologies' and 'Awkward' are the weaker tracks on the album as they lack some
of the impact factor that the other tracks have which does keep this album from being greater than
it is. However, this is still an awesome album. |

| Oasis Don't Believe the Truth |
| Don't Believe the Truth is a vast improvement over Oasis' prior albums before it. The songs feel much more energetic than what was present on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Heathen Chemistry and even have some emotional level to them that was otherwise missing before. 'The Importance of Being Idle' is one of the band's most lively songs and 'Let There Be Love' is up there with 'Champagne Supernova' and 'Half the World Away' as one of their best ballads. Some of the tracks are pretty forgettable unfortunately and don't have that same impact as their earlier work did. This is still a pretty good album that shows the band picked themselves up after two dreadful albums. |

This band are one of the few pop punk outfits today that actually can produce some quality songs and their debut effort proves this with some catchy and memorable rock tunes. The album isn't anything ground-breaking and some are too derivative but other than that, this is a more than decent start for the group. There's something for both pop music lovers and more rock listeners here which makes for an appealing listen. |
