15/30 for me. Good to see Breeders charting. They will be making an appearance in my chart next weeks as well. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/WkoAxKupDXiUlSqYdleR.gif) It'll climb massively next week! I've always been a fan of them and they're still one of the most appealing bands around... Great welcoming return from the Breeders

33. Blonde Redhead "23" (2007)
![](http://detour-mag.com/assets/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/blonderedhead23.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- 23
- The Dress
- SW
- The Publisher
- Top Ranking
"Misery Is A Butterfly"'s "Equus" was my first Blonde Redhead experience. Back then I used to find "Equus" quite weird as a single, that it made me afraid I wouldn't like the album so I never got a copy. 2007 marked their return and I bought the album on the strength of the title track which I loved on first listen. There are no obvious highlights on this album, instead one has to apriciate it as a whole body of work. What I love about this band is their ability to mould beauty and mystery with compressed distortion. Songs like "The Dress", "SW" and "The Publisher" are hauntingly beautiful while others such as "Top Ranking" and "Spring and By Summer" are fast paced and more accessible. The title track "23", is an epic, dreamy-pop number that amalgamates everything Blonde Redhead. It's a perfect introduction to one of the most adventurous albums of last year. [/size]

34. The Knife "Deep Cuts" (2003)
![](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0007UT5QI.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Heartbeats
- One For You
- Pass This On
- You Make Me Feel Like Charity
- Girls Night Out
Royksopp's moment of brilliance "What Else Is There" featuring the soaring voice of Karin, The Knife's frontwoman made me want to get to know more about them. At that time "Silent Shout" had just came out. With the title-track being it's lead single I downloaded it. But I was left disappointed. What I loved mostly about "What Else Is There", ie. Karin's voice was non-existent. I went in search of their previous album and it was exactly what I was looking for. "Heartbeats" is probably this decade's best pop song. It's more than what you expect from a Swedish electro-pop band and that means something. "Girl's Night Out" is a head on, neck-breaking techno-pop hit while "Pass This On", a quirky pop number, opens with the lines "I'm in love with your brother". "One For You" comes in as a bit of a breather but it's surely another highlight. It's delicate melodies and Karin's emotive voice will make you come back for more. So far so good. The Knife then tend to experiment or shock which makes the album sound inconsistent as the results vary. The definite highlight from these is "You Make Me Feel Like Charity", which forms a solid basis for "Silent Shout". Another Knife album still to come![/size]

I don't know much about The Sounds, but Superextragravity is a great Cardigans album, and I would go as far to say, my favourite of theirs. Don't Blame Your Daughter is definitely the highlight of the album. Great choice. I ADORE the Cardigans. An utter malleable band. Same here ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/WkoAxKupDXiUlSqYdleR.gif) I ADORE them too! Gran Turismo was the first CD I've ever bought and I'm looking forward to that A-Camp album even though I would have preferred a Cardigans one... Hopefully they'll get back together soon!

35. Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Fever To Tell" (2003)
![](http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper1076/stills/3ea7684dedf8d-70-2.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Maps
- Y-Control
- Black Tongue
- Rich
- Pin
The hype surrounding this band in 2001 was beyond imaginable. What's more? I couldn't stand them. Then in summer '03 I heard "Pin". I was hooked. What's more? It's follow-up single was the brilliant "Maps". The rest is history. So this album never really comes close to the latter but it's definitely a strong debut album. The early numbers are short explosive blasts of (some running out just after 1 minute) new-wave influenced punk-metal. Over the top of these tracks Karen O wails and screeches while Chase and Zinner prove that they're very tight musicians indeed. To get into the first 4 tracks a couple of listens are required as they're quite messy. Karen-O's persona is all over the place and I quite like it! By "Black Tongue" the tracks get more accessible and gather some running time. Gradually the energy starts dissolving and the relatively-epic "No No No", clocks in over 5 minutes. This song is a chaotic slow burner until midway through Karen O instructs Zinner & Chase to switch off the amplifiers with a "shhhh". From then on the album takes a romantic twist with the final 3 songs. Another album to come from them![/size]

36. Garbage "BeautifulGarbage" (2001)
![](http://www.obscurereasons.com/covers/garbage-bg.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Shut Your Mouth
- Can't Cry These Tears
- Androgyny
- Parade
- Cup Of Coffee
BeautifulGarbage was the follow up to a very successful self titled album and a "Version 2.0" of it. The latter had it's highlights, but it didn't vary enough from it's predecessor. So Garbage decided it was time to experiment with their third album. The results received mixed reviews and I have to admit that I was quite confused with some songs here. But this album really grows even though the songs here are the "popiest" Garbage could ever go. Listening to "Can't Cry These Tears" for the first time was quite awkward but once it sinks in you can apriciate what a brave step they took as it's one of the best songs they have ever written in my opinion. On the other hand you can still find some traces of Garbage of the "old" in songs like "Shut Your Mouth". So while Shirley Manson surely lost some of her venom here, it was in no way a bad thing, as the songs are all brimming with hooks, while we discover another dimension of Shirley. [/size]

37. The Sounds "Dying To Say This To You" (2007)
![](http://brokencalm.com/images/soundsdyingtosaythis.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Tony The Beat
- Painted By Numbers
- Don't Want To Hurt You
- Queen Of Apology
- Night After Night
Listening to this album, you get the feeling that "The Sounds" are actually really dying to tell us something. A sense of urgency runs throughout the 35 minutes of "Dying To Say This To You" and it's what makes it one hell of a party. The songs here are slabs of sharp, catchy, focused, adrenaline rushed, danceable and most of all enjoyable doses of new wave / punk and at what they have done this album is excellent. Just listen to the amazing "Tony The Beat" and it's enough to justify the existence of this band. The rest of this album is nearly as great and although some songs sound almost identical, the songs are still enjoyable enough that it makes you loop this album for sometime.[/size]

38. The Cardigans "Super Extra Gravity" (2005)
![](http://img1.nnm.ru/imagez/gallery/b/b/0/c/b/bb0cb88c70b00bdcf21f63cdac4c1b9b_full.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- I Need Some Fine Wine & You, You Need To Be Nicer
- Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)
- Godspell
- Good Morning Joan
- In The Round
Whenever I mention "The Cardigans", the word "underrated" comes to my mind. Despite releasing some timeless shiny-pop songs, apart from the classic "Lovefool", The Cardigans barely had any success chartwise. Even in their early days of "blonde era" Nina Persson, there was always a dark side in The Cardies which they fully explored post "Gran Turismo". With every single album the band evolved and by "Super Extra Gravity", you can feel that The Cardigans are actually a band. Unlike their previous album the songs here are accessible, short and the sound is raw and edgy. It is the opposite of "Long Gone Before Daylight" but this album would make you apriciate "LGBD" more. Still another Cardies album to come later on.[/size]

Some great choices. Charlotte Hatherley, Rilo Kiley, Feist and Goldfrapp are all great albums. I also have Pocket Symphony - I like it, it just lacks something to me. Talkie Walkie, however, is a much much better Air album. Agreed perfectly... Talkie Walkie is infact higher up ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/999290/images/WkoAxKupDXiUlSqYdleR.gif) I think that Pocket Symphony lacked a "charming" song or a strong single... It is too "serious"... Still a great album though... It would have sounded perfect if it included a "Cherry Blossom Girl" somewhere!

#46 CHatherley - some good songs on this, from what I've heard... #43 BlocP - I own this too, v. good album, still play it occasionally #40 Killers - singles were very good, but overplayed The Killers album is surely top heavy... and I do agree that the singles were overplayed but it's what you expect unfortunately when you've got a good catchy pop song... And let's not forget the hype that surrounded them back then!

39. Rilo Kiley "Under The Blacklight (2007)
![](http://tnjn.com/content/storyimage/2007/09/09/cover1.512.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Silver Lining
- Dreamworld
- Breakin' Up
- Smoke Detector
- Under The Blacklight
So many Rilo Kiley fans were confused by this release, feeling they had sold out... Previously, I had only listened to 2 Rilo Kiley songs, "Portion For Foxes" & "It's A Hit" so this was my first Rilo Kiley experience as an album and they could have sold out but "Under The Blacklight" remains a great album. It hones together country, funk, indie & techno-pop and they feel confident as if they had been mastering this for ages. "Under The Blacklight" is the band's major label debut but this factor hasn't stopped them becoming "more adventurous" even if it cost them some hardcore fans. [/size]

![](http://music.porkrind.org/The%20Killers/Hot%20Fuss/cover.jpg)
Outstanding 5:
- Mr. Brightside
- Somebody Told Me
- Smile Like You Mean It
- All These Things That I've Done
- Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
THE album that needs NO introduction. There isn't much that I can add here to what has been argued about "Hot Fuss"... But man, those afformentioned tracks are staple hits for me... I'll never tire of them... Back in 2004, listening to "Mr. Brightside" & "Somebody Told Me" for the first time was just thrilling, no wonder why they still receive constant airplay... They were like my best kept secret as they were largely anonymous overhere and it was amazing watching them grow and grow in 2005 to become one of the biggest bands around... Follow up album "Sam's Town" was surely more consistent but lacked a surefire hit... I would still like to mention "Read My Mind" which I regard as one of their best moments to date...[/size]
