1031 Goldfrapp – Seventh Tree

Electronic duo Goldfrapp released their fourth album Seventh Tree in 2008. It was well received by the critics due to Goldfrapp’s new sound. Not many bands can change their signature and remain successful with their longtime fans. The album is filled with ambient sounds and downtempo music, which is a step away from their dance […]

1030 – TV On The Radio – Dear Science

I think 2011 was around the time TV On The Radio came into my knowledge of them as a band. Oddly, I was certain they were Australians, but they are actually Americans. Their third album Dear Science was released in 2008. I recognize the title of the album, but I am not sure if I […]

#1029 Portishead – Third

Portishead release their third album Third in 2008. It was their first album in eleven years and their last one to date. The band took the music into a new direction of incorporating krautrock, surf rock, and doo wop. It was rated by many critics as the best album of 2008. I found it hard […]

1028 Q-Tip – The Renaissance

Q-Tip released his second studio album The Renaissance in 2008. Q-Tip is probably the dumbest rap name ever. Is he saying he is dirty white cotton stick man? I already know I will hate this album because I hate most hip hop, yet I will give it a fair listen. None of the songs really […]

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 […]
