Album Review: The Enemy

Music For The People

i usually get pissed off with NME reviews but this is a good one. And all Enemy fans getting pissed off, remember one thing, you are Enemy fans......

Album review: Placebo - 'Battle For The Sun'

All the appearance of a cure, all the reality of a disease

I agree, ashtray heart is a quality song, but the rest of this album is like 40 minutes of...

Album review: Florence And The Machine - 'Lungs'

After the hype and the hate it’s just… OK

Hold up! this can't be right! The NME hyped and hyped a band, put them on the cover before they'd done anything worthy of being on a cover,...

Album review: The Dead Weather - 'Horehound'

Patchy effort left too clean by White wash

dull album, no tunes at all - Jack! Write some more White Stripes songs! Then get your bloody sister on a plane and come and headline Reading! ...

Album Review: The Rumble Strips - 'Welcome To The Walk Alone'

Devon band’s quality is on the slide: blame Ronson… and their lack of ideas

i think this review is symptomatic of the 'loving the smell of your own self-righteous, indier than thou shit' syndrome. Rather than writing...

Album review: The Bravery 'Stir The Blood' (Island)

They haven't exactly moved on, but The Bravery remain pleasingly weird

woah woah woah, i've had a lot of fucking comments disallowed from appearing on this website, for various reasons, but we're allowed to use...

Album review: These New Puritans - 'Hidden' (Angular Recording Corporation)

Former students of post punk step out of the classroom into a league of their own

this is fucking incredible, first listened to it today and when it finished i just put it on...

Album Review: Oasis - 'Time Flies...1994-2009 (Big Brother)

All the singles, titanic AND terrible, together in one place – but does it stand up to the greatest collections of its kind?

really good review, well considered and didn't slip into being too pretentious and snobby, or too fanboy-ish. I don't think you've got a...

Album review: Dizzee Rascal - 'Tongue N' Cheek (Dirtee Stank)

Dylan Mills’ latest reveals a cartoonish yet more controlled side to his character

just read this again cos of the mercury nom, but i think it's odd to compare his new persona to a 'slim shady persona', because eminem...

Album review: Arcade Fire - 'The Suburbs' (Mercury)

Arcade Fire explore the past and make bold steps forward for their ambitious but accessible masterpiece

@TerryHall well I guess there must be more that one journalist at the NME, i think this guy is the new...

Album review: Hurts - 'Happiness' (RCA)

Ludicrous on the heroic scale, yes, but love them or hate them, you cannot deny they've got the tunes

I think the comparison with blockbuster movies is unfair. People with no real interest in the cinema but who want to spend a tenner on something...
