I cannot believe this is the only Billy Bragg record on Sputnik.

Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to HeavenHelmet MeantimeHot Water Music No DivisionBy far my favourite album by this band. Walter S did the production and it just changes the approach. This stands apart from all their other albums alone. It is almost a different band, and a great one.ISIS PanopticonJedi Mind Tricks Visions of GandhiJedi Mind Tricks Legacy of BloodKatatonia Night Is the New DayI've added a 0.5. After listening to this after a hiatus, and listening to the other records, this one does shine through, even after my initial over-listening bout of mental inertia. It's very consistent and well balanced.Kyuss Welcome to Sky ValleyKyuss ...And the Circus Leaves TownManic Street Preachers The Holy BibleMastodon LeviathanMetallica Master of PuppetsMetallica Ride the LightningMew And the Glass Handed KitesMogwai Come On Die YoungMonster Magnet SuperjudgeNeurosis The Eye of Every StormSo delicate and fragile.

Dozer went on to better things, but Unida are really on form here.Will Haven El DiabloThe bass on this album is really something. EP is also great. Surprised so few ratings for this great album.Will Haven Carpe Diem4.0 excellentAlice in Chains Alice in ChainsAlice in Chains SapAmen AmenAmen We Have Come for Your ParentsAnother underrated item.

In a good way they changed direction, but this is a good place to be. This is hard and it rocks.Entombed DCLXVI: To Ride Shoot Straight and Speak the TruthThis one seems to split people.

Came out at a time when nu-metal was digging in, and this was more straightforward stripped down metal. Nick's comment sums it up. I would also add Crowbar to the list of bands that may indicate if you would like this record.Fu Manchu King of the RoadFu Manchu DaredevilFugazi Red MedicineGallows (UK) Grey BritainGhost Brigade Guided By FireAfter reading the reviews I thought this would be much less mature from Isolation Songs.
