StoriesAvicii

Rated 4/10

Was massive at the time, and a huge influence on modern day music, but not a good influence in my opinion really so find Avicii annoying. Shame what happened mind you.

AnimalsPink Floyd

Rated 8/10

Pink Floyd’s underrated album, I actually prefer this over the wall, but would stick it behind DSOTM and what you were here. Worth place on the list, but just behind their masterpiece albums,

Big MC5 kick out the Jams vibes on this album, given that’s my all time favourite live album, that’s a massive positive in my book, not a massive fan of live albums in general but this one ticks all the boxes, immediately added to my frequent rotation.

I really enjoyed this album when it came out in 2016, not sure if Iv listened to it since, enjoyed coming back to it today, good choice.

I can see why this is added to the list, but personally it would be my 5th maybe even 6th after the Car now, favourite Arctic Monkeys album. But I do agree it’s an important album for them, and should be on the list for that reason alone.

I don’t agree with the hate it gets from Arctic monkeys fans complaining they don’t make music like what ever people say I am any more. The same people probably also moan that all Catfish and the Bottlemens albums sound the same.. but also I don’t think this is a masterpiece that die hard fans of the album make out to be.

I admire they took and risk and tried something different. Overall I would give this 3 stars, but the temptation to give it four stars out of five was just too much.

Id say that’s unheard of, but I won’t be the first or the last to make this joke…..

Brooding dark post punk, enjoyed this but not sure I fully clicked with it to come back, the vocals though very post punk just a little off putting.

Rated 10/10

How is this not in the orginal list but David Grey was! Absolutely beautiful album, easy 5 stars.

Easy 5 stars one of my favourite 00’s indie albums and bands. Probably one of my favourite live performances when I seen bloc party back in 2006.

I still think they are such an underrated band, probably not helped by the fact they never surpassed this debut album, and the UK indie scene at the time became so bloated with rubbish music.

Rated 6/10

Didn’t enjoy this as some of the other Mexican rock albums on this additional list, but I still see it having a place on the orginal list.
