got albert hammond jr [of strokes fame]'s solo album yesterday and it's really good. there are obviously some very strokes-y sounds on it, but a lot of it is a different direction than they normally go down. it scared me slightly when i saw that some of the songs were ones that he'd written for the strokes, but had been rejected by the other band members. but apparently he's worked on them and it seems to of paid off cos there isn't one track i dislike or feel like skipping past on it a very good album imo  |

a very good reviewhere (8/10) www.nme.com/reviews/albert-hammond-jr/8042"...This album is far better than it has any right to be; an intimate, frequently beautiful and consistently surprising record that gets better with every listen...if you take it at face value and don't go looking for the fourth Strokes album, this is a record to fall in love with..." |

I really like 101, think it was 76 on downloads, so let's hope it climbs into the top 40 on sunday.

saw him on 'the album chart show' last weekend and although it was good, he looked terrible. his eyes were all red and looked really saggy and tired. hope he's not getting all f***ed up by the rock n roll life style. we need him to carry on making great records like this and also with the strokes
