a tour de force of incredible composition and lyrics, bringing all that was good from "Funeral" but with more experience and experimentation. [list created by Fergus Pearson]
Favourite Worst NightmareFavourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys

Possibly the most exciting band to come out of 2007, this album demands undivided attention to its musical splendor
Because Of The Times (CD/DVD Special Edition)Because Of The Times (CD/DVD Special Edition) by Kings Of Leon
A much more mature sound from KOL and one that even dips it's toes in the grunge and metal genre, though nevertheless the whole thing is full of KOL's signature swanger,always captivating, never dull
In RainbowsIn Rainbows by Radiohead

Better than OK Computer? Better than The Bends? Maybe not but it is a very solid and complete album in its own right and is a joy to listen to.

Though it's easy to be hostile to both Jamie t and his debut album it is nevertheless a great listen and highly recommendable.

Yes all the songs are very similar and yes they aren't exactly doing anything that hasn't been done a million times before but it has never been done this well

An all together more controlled sound than their previous two albums, though still full of spirit and rebellion

The Wombats Proudly Present... A Guide To Love, Loss and DesperationThe Wombats Proudly Present... A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation by Wombats
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.67
An album full of energy, sometimes their songs will make you feel on top of the world, other times they seem to take no effect. (a.k.a, you need to be in the mood to listen to this one)
MatineeMatinee by Jack Penate

A Sad case of Jack releasing all of his best songs as singles, though thats not to say that the rest are filler, just not as easy to love
