| Aussie Albums You Must Listen To
Behind the Aussie scene a bit? Here is a mix of albums you need to hear to catch up! | | 1 |  | Karnivool
Themata
The best album released in Australia for many, many years. | | 2 |  | Cog
The New Normal
Punishing, poignant and intense music from surfer-central Bondi. | | 3 |  | Kisschasy
United Paper People
The softer side of the Aussie rock scene lately. The new album isn't as good. | | 4 |  | Angus and Julia Stone
A Book Like This
Plenty of fun brother and sister from Sydney spewing out folksy alternative honey. | | 5 |  | Gyroscope
Breed Obsession
It might be pretentious and over the top, but these guys are going places. | | 6 |  | In Fiction
The Forecast
Fun for the whole family. The new kids on the block from Adelaide. | | 7 | | The Living End
White Noise
Could this be better than Karnivool's upcoming release? Let's just wait and see. It is very, VERY good. | | 8 |  | Birds of Tokyo
Universes
Side project of Karnivool vocalist Ian Kenny shows he has plenty of talent to share. Critically acclaimed but relatively unknown. | | 9 |  | The Getaway Plan
Other Voices, Other Rooms
Produced by the same man responsible for Underoath, the first full length from these Melbourne rockers may not be as hard it could have been, but is rather polished and interesting. | | 10 |  | Behind Crimson Eyes
A Revelation For Despair
Again, not as good as it could have been, but the opener 'Sex Lies and Homicide' keeps you tuned in waiting for the repeat. | | 11 |  | The Butterfly Effect
Imago
Just all round good stuff! | | 12 | | John Butler Trio
One Small Step
A live acoustic album from recently de-dredded West Aussie shows his intimate and intriguing side. If you hadn't already witnessed it. | | 13 |  | Shihad
Beautiful Machine
Technically, they are part Aussie and part Kiwi, but this album deserves a listen. Just a word of warning though, don't compare it to the classic 'General Electric' from 1999. | | 14 |  | Operator Please
Yes Yes Vindictive
Media darlings, and sugary pop icons. None older than 18. | | 15 |  | Trial Kennedy
New Manic Art
A great debut LP for Melbourne nutters. A fusion of emo/rock worthy of several long listens. | |

08.06.08 | how odd that we created 2 aussie lists at the same time :/
this list is quite wonderful. i had 15 crackin today particularly | AtavanHalen
08.06.08 | Correction on 14: Amandah turns 21 this year, Ashley is 19 or 20.
Correction on 15: Not emo.
10 is fucking awful. Rest is good. | billy33
08.06.08 | Jeeze must be Aussie Music week or something
Love every album on here except operator please,
they are the most terrible set of "musicians' ever.
I reckon TBE is slightly better than the 'vool, very close.
Also with BCE, theyre pretty good once you get past all the negative press they got.
Awsome list but TBE and BoT should be way higher. | billy33
08.06.08 | Oh and list needs sleep parade | Jim
08.06.08 | yeah sleep parade continues to grow on me | AtavanHalen
08.06.08 | Operator Please take a dump on Behind Cliche Eyes. | hammet_ownz
08.06.08 | Okay Dokey. Thanks atavan
Corrections on 14: Two of them are older than 18.
/commits hare kari.
It's not in any particular order. I'm not necessarily saying all these albums are fantastic... Just a widISH sort of sample for someone on the outside to look in on. | StreetlightRock
08.06.08 | Suprised to see 4 here, underrated album, even in Australia. Operator Please are catchy, but seriously, after listening to that album about 3 times, it's impossible to give it anymore listens. I really want 8. | xNintendoCorex
10.28.08 | this is gross, its like a list of australias most over rated shit bands. sorry, but there are so many better bands in australia that never get a mention.
i mean..the getaway plan? serious? their albums the most monotonous piece of bore ive ever listened to, at least hold conversation was a decent ep.
