 | Accelerate (digipack) by REM
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.99 R.E.M. make a decent album shock
|
 | You Have No Idea What Youre Getting Yourself Into by Does It Offend You Yeah?
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £8.00 The latest band to mix squelchy electro with indie guitars and hooks (see The Whip, Crystal Castles). They even sound like Soulwax at times
|
 | Yes Yes Vindictive by Operator Please
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.99 Brilliant power-pop debut by this bunch of precocious Aussie teenagers. The B52s meet BYOP.
|
 | Third by Portishead
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £4.85 Portishead throw out the coffee table and go all industrial. Not the great album I was hoping for, but the gig in Amsterdam was amazing.
|
 | Consolers of the Lonely by The Raconteurs
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.99 In which Jack White demonstrates that the Raconteurs are definitely more than a one-off side project. Arguably better than the last couple of White Stripes efforts
|
 | Walk It Off by Tapes n Tapes
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £8.37 Debut album The Loon was a masterpiece, so following it was always going to be tough. This is not as immediate as its predecessor but has some great moments.

Buy new: £8.98 Long-awaited 'full-length debut' hits the spot
|
 | Stainless Style by Neon Neon

Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.65 Another second album that has largely avoided second album syndrome.
|

Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £3.75 And another
|
 | Brain Thrust Mastery by We Are Scientists

Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £7.14 Mark Lanegan sounding most like in his Screaming Trees days
