1027 Elbow – The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow‘s fourth studio album The Seldom Seen Kid is one that I sort of remember. There was so many bands during this time period, which played alternative and art rock music. I think most of them got lost in the mix. Their previous album Leaders of the Free World sounds more familiar to me. The […]

1026 Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim in 2008. They went on a hiatus in 2013 to 2016 while vocalist Robin Pecknold pursued an undergraduate degree. The band released their fourth album to Shore in September 2020. My favourite songs are “White Winter Hymnal”, “Ragged Wood”, “Quiet Houses”, “He Doesn’t Know Why”, […]

#1025 Slipknot – All Hope is Gone

Slipknot again? I hated their last album on the list of 1001 Albums… I gave them 0/10. Can their fourth album All Hope is Gone be any better or will it be worse? I am not really a heavy metal guy, but there have been some exceptions. I expect to hate this album. I guess […]

#1024 Klaxons – Myths of the Near Future

Klaxons debut album Myths of the Near Future was released in 2007. I have heard them before, but unfortunately I did not listen to them enough to give them a fair chance. The band have described the album as “a concept album about their fantasy vision of the future”. They recorded three albums and disbanded […]

#1023 The Good, the Bad & the Queen – The Good, the Bad & the Queen

Supergroup The Good, the Bad & the Queen released their self-titled debut album in 20017. The group consist of singer Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, bassist Paul Simonon of the Clash, guitarist Simon Tong of the Verve, and Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen. The album follows the concept theme of modern life in London […]

#1022 M.I.A. – Kala

M.I.A. again? Wasn’t the first album enough? Kala is her second studio album. I literally gave her 1/10. She is sort of almost the Joan Baez of the 2000s. I mean that in the worst way possible. Miracle of all miracles. Okay, that was an exaggeration. I actually sort of liked a few song. I […]

#1020 LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem released their second album Sound of Silver in 2007. Oddly, I recognise their first and third album, but I do not think I ever heard of the second one. Maybe I just don’t remember the song titles. Maybe it was not as good as the other albums. I do like their genres of […]

#1019 Radiohead – In Rainbows

Radiohead‘s seventh studio album In Rainbows was recognised as one of the best albums of 2007 and of the decade by many music publications. The released the album as a pay-what-you-want, which they claimed made money for them. I believe most band do not make much money from album sales. They make it from concert […]

#1018 MGMT – Oracular Spectacular

MGMT is an American band? I had no idea. They sound so British or Australian. I think I discovered them on one of their singing programs. Oracular Spectacular is their 2007 debut album. I never knew what the name meant until today. It was the was founding members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser would sign […]

#1016 Joanna Newsom – Ys

Joanna Newsom released her second album Ys in 2006. The album has only five songs and it is almost an hour long. The album charted on the low end of Billboard 200, but it was on almost every critics year-end chart, except Rolling Stone magazine and Robert Christgau, who seems to hate everything good in […]
