We don't fear these machinesssss

Now that I don't have physics to occupy my mind I have been contemplating my favorite albums of all time.

  • The Shins - Wincing The Night Away: THE BEST ALBUM EVER... Seriously! There are no tracks on this album I would skip. I have no more to say on the matter.


  • Basement Jaxx - Remedy: This was the first album I liked from beginning to end. To be honest, the albums I'd brought up to this point were generally flaff off market stalls (I just liked the "shiny rainbow thing CDs do"). My fondness of this album also had nothing to do with the semi naked lady on the cover *looks shifty*


  • Starsailor - Love Is Here: This was instantly good musical goodness passing into my ears like audio gravy (the nice kind of gravy with little meaty bits in it, not that crap you buy at Morrisons). One of the few albums that I really liked first time round.


  • Radiohead - Hail To The Thief: The album which has a bit of everything. Plus the copy I have in York is on MiniDisc - the superior music format, for people who like their music blue and rigid and with a little metal strip across the top.


  • Lacuna Coil - Comalies: Swamped, Aeon, Heaven's A Lie, Tight Rope, Daylight Dancer, Aeon, Tight Rope, The Ghost Woman..., Aeon, Unspoken, Tight Rope, Entwined, Aeon, The Prophet Said, Tight Rope, Angel's Punishment, Aeon, Comalies, Tight Rope - Nuff said!


  • Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything: Although the Kate Bush sound was good, I prefer the newer albums. Also this is the one that made someone go "what the hell are you listening to...opera?!" (or something similar).


  • Alexisonfire - Watch Out: Yeah, so maybe this is emo, but I couldn't care! This is a sexy album (although not at all in the classical sense of being sexy). This album is summer 2006.


Other albums that were nearly good enough, but either have a couple of crap tracks (or I was too lazy to write about):

  • Every other The Shins and Radiohead album (apart from Pablo Honey), VNV Nation - Futureperfect, Elbow - Asleep In The Back, VAC - Hex Angel, FFAF - Tales Don't Tell Themselves, Thursday - War All The Time,

Haha, yeah I forgot I put that at the end. It's a boring album, it's just another guitar album and Creep is better on teh My Iron Lung EP =P
