Rated 8/10

Another Smiths-like but without the insufferable douchebag of a frontman. This is jangle pop like the Smiths mixed with indie like Arctic Monkeys. Does this list need yet another britpop number? Probably not. But am I glad to have listened to it? I am. Overall, a pretty solid album (especially the second half).

Favourite songs: Fallowfield Hillbilly, Not Nineteen Forever, Kings of the New Road, What Took You So Long?, Bide Your Time, Please Don't

Least favourite songs: Aftershow

4/5

Rated 8/10

Not groundbreaking, but fun and well crafted.

Rated 8/10

Love this type of sound. Don't care if it sounds similar to Arctic Monkeys. Always down for 2000's indie rock/garage rock revival. This has potential to be a 5 if I listen to it more.

Rated 8/10

The first track got me excited for a band like arctic monkeys, but the rest of the tracks felt more like middling Last of the Shadow Puppets tracks, which is still good for a listen, but I won't be returning

Rated 4/10

God, someone already beat me to "Arctic Monkeys at home." Anyway, I'm not super big on Arctic Monkeys in the first place

Rated 4/10

Another album I listened to and forgot I was listening to it while it was on

Rated 2/10

Do you like The Libertines? Well this band sounds exactly the same.

(I don't like The Libertines)

Rated 8/10

Pretty solid for one I had never heard of. Started off a lot stronger than the tail end. 3.5/5

Rated 2/10

Totally unremarkable in every way. It's not offensive it just sounds like every other British indie rock band ever.

Rated 6/10

mehs all round for these lads.

Rated 8/10

Arctic manc-keys; Oasis-ish; Blur-ry; (northern) Kinks - not that I'm complaining!
Like a best of Britain covers album, without many songs where they sound like something new.
Their biggest song is here though, which is nice.

Rated 8/10

One of the great UK 00’s indie albums, was very underrated at the time, but now it’s almost overrated in certain circles given the rerelease and
The push from the radio X crowd.

Still a good album that is already in my frequent rotation. So happy to see this today.

Rated 6/10

British enough I wouldn't be surprised if it made it into future editions of the book.
