    Been listening to Audioslave's self titled debut album, and it's an absolute cracker of an album.

    The follow up, Out of Exile was nowhere near as good as it... in fact I'd even say its a bad album...

    Stuck on some old school Smashing Pumpkins today to get the taste of their recent synth pop efforts out of my mouth, and agree with D9Male on the previous page - Siamese Dream is definitely up there in my list of albums without a poor track. Soma in particular is a masterpiece. On a sidenote, I spent years thinking James Iha did the guitar solo on that song until I saw them playing it live and realised just how talented a guitarist Billy Corgan is, most rock frontmen with a guitar just play rhythm.

    Chroma by RSAG .....released during 1st lockdown. Every song is unreal. Put on the headphones and take a walk. It took 10 years for this Kilkenny musician to release a new album but my god was it worth the wait. But still they play Nathan Carter on the radio .......

    I saw him play years ago and never knew he had an album out. I may check it out.

    Yep it went under the radar a little in all the lockdown frenzy. It is my best album of 2020 by far. Have a listen and see what you think. The Spark is a brilliant track but every song gives you something different. Let me know what you think !

    I cannot recommend Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens enough.

    It is (in my opinion) the greatest album of the last 10 years

    Thanks for that, it's a good album. Can't say I had heard of him before.

    I just noticed today that I liked every track on Infected by The The. I think one track grew on me over time!

    I didn't realise there was a box set. Reviews look good, I'll definitely be buying.

    I played The Golden Age of Wireless by Thomas Dolby last night and realised this (for me) is another album without a single bad track.

    Played Horslips Book of Invasions last night, lost none of its power after all these years. An absolute classic from first groove to last and so criminally underrated.

    Don’t you mean East Side Story ? A fine album for sure, but not flawless. F Hole is not great for example.

    I thought I'd posted here previously, but I can't see it.

    Judas Priest's Painkiller is an absolute revelation for me. I've been listening to Black Sabbath for approaching 25 years and I only recently started listening to JP. They have some really mixed albums. Defenders of the Faith would make the cut for no bad song too, but Painkiller is just amazing. It came after a weak spot for the band but just absolutely kicks off from the first track and keeps going.

    Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

    Deftones - Around The Fur

    Smashing Pumpkins - Gish

    Bjork - Debut

    Been listening to a lot of my records over the last few days of crap weather and these albums in my opinion are brilliant from start to finish

    Listened to Morning Phase by Beck for the first time in a few years. As good as I remembered and I didn't want to skip any songs. It might be my favourite album of his.
