    Customer Review: Virtuoso musicianship... on a punk album!: I love this album; I consider it the best punk album ever recorded. Despite my love for this album,
    (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
    list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
    Audio CD (03 October, 1995)
    (321 reviews) 4.28 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: This big rock candy mountain of an album justifies some if by no means all of the poses and pretentious statements made by Manchester's natural-born rock & roll deities. A dramatic attempt to rekindle the flames of the original British Invasion,

    12 Memories
    list: $12.98 - our price: $11.99
    Audio CD (14 October, 2003)
    (96 reviews) 3.9 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: 12 Memories: Here we have what is probably the second best album of 2003. It is dark, it is melancholy, it is good. But it is also cheery in spots,

    by Virgin Records
    Audio CD (20 June, 1995)
    (42 reviews) 4.71 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Though The Verve has finally taken its rightful place in the Brit Rock cannon, it languished for years behind such English luminaries as Oasis and Radiohead. During that time, The Verve release several albums that got less attention than they deserved.

    A Passage In Time

    by Capitol
    Audio CD (27 August, 2002)
    (854 reviews) 4.44 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Coldplay required a lifetime to make their wonderfully assured debut,Parachutes. But it tookless than two years for the moody British quartet to deliver a masterful follow-up. As a band Coldplay have advanced to a stage where they outshine nearly every oneof their rivals in terms of imagination and emotional pull.

    Audio CD (26 March, 2002)
    (1 reviews) 4 out of 5 stars

    Aion
    list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
    by Warner Brothers
    Audio CD (15 February, 1994)
    (32 reviews) 4.84 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Long before No Doubt brought back ska and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy resurrected swing, Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry were making music that recalled an earlier time. How early? Try the Renaissance. Everything old--really old--is new again on Aion,
    Alone with Everybody
    list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99
    by Virgin Records
    Audio CD (27 June, 2000)
    (128 reviews) 4.27 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: The bad news: Alone with Everybody, the first solo venture by the Verve's ex-lead singer Richard Ashcroft, is not as good as the Verve's pinnacle departure album, Urban Hymns. The good news: it's really,

    Amnesiac
    list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
    by Capitol
    Audio CD (05 June, 2001)
    (742 reviews) 4.12 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: More song-driven and acoustic than Kid A, Radiohead's Amnesiac isn't quite "Kid B," but it is unquestionably cut from the same far-out cloth, as the band revels in fascinating quirks and abject nihilism.
    Angels-Rarities
    list: $39.99 - our price: $39.99
    by Emi Int'l
    Audio CD (31 January, 1994)
    (12 reviews) 4.83 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: Split Personality: Good and bad on this expensive import. Robbie needs to decide what he wants to be when he grows up: pop legend or the next Tom Jones.

    Audio CD (19 March, 2002)
    (8 reviews) 4.38 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: 3 star remix of 5 star album: I have to agree with other voices here - the remastering process when seriously off. If you're a completist and need the extra material,

    by V2. / Bmg
    Audio CD (22 January, 2002)
    (39 reviews) 4.41 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Asleep in the Back, Elbow's frighteningly competent debut album, presents 11 tracks of rain-sodden misery blown up into the breed of gracefully elegiac fatalism that once formed the essence of, say, Joy Division.

    Be Here Now
    list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99
    Audio CD (26 August, 1997)
    (217 reviews) 3.87 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: 4 stars for an album worthy of it.: Not so long before this album came out, Oasis were praised for there Pop hooks, over crunching guitars,
    Beat This: The Best of the English Beat

    by Sire / Wea
    Audio CD (11 September, 2001)
    (9 reviews) 4.78 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: 4.5 rounded up: Solid disc for any Beat fan, but I would have liked to see the instrumental version of Rotating Heads (from Ferris Bueller's Day Off) thrown on this disc for good measure.

    by Emi Int'l
    Audio CD (01 August, 2000)
    (11 reviews) 4.91 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: Companion Piece to "Parachutes": I stumbled onto "The Blue Room EP" after diving into Coldplay's mind-blowing debut album "Parachutes".
    Bring It On
    list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99
    by Virgin Records
    Audio CD (08 September, 1998)
    (83 reviews) 4.46 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Recorded in the north of England in a cold garage by a batch of 20-year-olds before they'd ever played a lick live, Bring It On displays a remarkable maturity, quoting from a musical source that only folks twice their age are privy to.

    Cake
    list: $39.99 - our price: $39.99
    by Import [Generic]
    Audio CD (28 October, 1998)
    (10 reviews) 4.8 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: Great album!: This band so deserves wider recognition: this is their debut, with 6 b-side tracks added in. The music is bright, solid and well-crafted.
    Careful What You Wish for
    list: $27.99 - our price: $27.99
    by Mercury
    Audio CD (02 December, 2003)

    Carry On Up The Charts: The Best Of The Beautiful South
    list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98
    by Mercury / Universal
    Audio CD (09 October, 1995)
    (30 reviews) 4.77 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: This is a definitive best-of from the scathingly satiric, invariably tuneful band that arose from the ashes of The Housemartins. Sadly, Paul Heaton and friends have always been too twee and clever for the colonies,
    Cast of Thousands
    list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98
    by V2. / Bmg
    Audio CD (27 January, 2004)
    (16 reviews) 4.06 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Most bands, when they want more attention, pump up the volume. Not Elbow. The Manchester quintet's second full-length is quieter than their debut, Asleep At the Back, luring listeners into its clutches with weird sonic details: the twinkling electronics that open "Ribcage;"

    Catch the Breeze

    by Mercury / Universal
    Audio CD (20 July, 1993)
    (26 reviews) 4.88 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Long before groups like Oasis and Blur provoked cross-Atlantic media hype, Catherine Wheel were evolving the Brit-Pop style that typifies the genre's distinction. With the release of Chrome in 1993, they advanced their whispered-wall-of-sound approach to rock amalgamation.

    Clash on Broadway
    list: $39.98 - our price: $31.99
    Audio CD (08 February, 2000)
    (20 reviews) 5 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: They were one the Only Band That Matters! Of course, that was when punk rock had to raise a ruckus to get noticed and restless youth turned to pop stars for political perspective. In retrospect, Joe Strummer,
    Clutching at Straws [UK Bonus CD]
    list: $21.98 - our price: $21.98
    by Castle Us
    Audio CD (22 January, 2002)
    (13 reviews) 4.92 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: One of the band's best: I'm always changing my mind as to whether I prefer this record or 'Misplaced childhood'. In the end, they're equally great and different enough not to cancel each other out.T

    (8 reviews) 4.25 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: 4.5 actually. Not a perfect album, but damn close: This CD takes all the best b-sides from Hail To The Thief singles. The worst song on this album has to be 'Remyxomatosis',

    Combat Rock
    list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99
    Audio CD (25 January, 2000)
    (75 reviews) 3.69 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: The final album by the Clash's original Strummer/Jones incarnation is also their most inconsistent. There were musical and ideological rifts developing within the band, and it shows: the experimentation is almost as wild as Sandanista!'
    Compact Snap

    by Polygram Int'l
    Audio CD (04 August, 1997)
    (12 reviews) 4.75 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: The only punk band with both heart and ability to grow.: The Jam never cared about making it in America, which is why they are so unfamiliar here.

    by Castle Us
    Audio CD (20 August, 2002)
    (19 reviews) 4.74 out of 5 stars
    Customer Review: A '77 UK punk rock masterpiece: This is where UK punk rock got its start, not from the Sex Pistols or the Clash, but with the almighty Damned.

    by Rhino Records
    Audio CD (06 November, 2001)
    (21 reviews) 4.67 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: 1981-1998 reveals why Dead Can Dance was such an influential group and why their music remains very much alive. From the opening notes of "Frontier," the first piece Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry improvised together,

    Audio CD (30 August, 1994)
    (144 reviews) 4.51 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: With the swaggering chords of the opening "Rock'N'Roll Star," Oasis announced that big, brash Brit rock was here to stay--at least for a few years. They wore their rock & roll with an angry young sneer,

    Audio CD (26 May, 1997)

    Customer Review: Four Stars: This set is not widely available in the USA, but if you liked more than half of the Jam's six studio LPs, it might be worth the investment.

    by Sony Int'l
    Audio CD (03 November, 2003)

    Customer Review: Very nearly perfect, though not entirely career-spanning...: Nearly 20 years into their career, Primal Scream have finally released a proper greatest hits album.

    Duality

    by Warner Brothers
    Audio CD (14 April, 1998)
    (41 reviews) 4.46 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Duality is at once sacred and playful. It is both dark and light, organic and refined, masculine and feminine. Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard partners with Pieter Bourke, formerly of Aussie band Eden, to create this compositional dance of partnership that is classical,

    by Capitol
    Audio CD (30 July, 2002)
    (295 reviews) 4.6 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Robbie Williams, a self-proclaimed casualty of the British boy-blitz Take That, scuffed his squeaky-clean image by rabble-rousing with Britpop troublemakers Oasis and reemerged as a part-James Bond, part-Frank Sinatra renaissance pop star.
    Essential Clash
    list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99
    Audio CD (11 March, 2003)
    (35 reviews) 4.46 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: The Essential Clash demonstrates once again how superior the Clash were to any of their punk peers. It's striking that, while the effects of the movement continue to resonate decades later, most '70s punk has dated badly.

    Faded Seaside Glamour
    list: $15.98 - our price: $13.99
    by Sanctuary Records
    Audio CD (18 May, 2004)
    (11 reviews) 4.45 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: Delays singer-guitarist Greg Gilbert has such an incredible voice that he might be the only man in rock who has drawn comparisons to both Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and the Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser. That's just the first sign that this English band is not just another standard-issue moody Coldplay knockoff. Instead,

    Audio CD (21 November, 2000)
    (77 reviews) 4.35 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: In 2000 Oasis wisely dispensed with theatrics and concentrated on being the world's greatest stadium-sized pub-rock band. And so, with just three mammoth video walls in tow, they toured the world. Big as the video screens were,

    by Mercury / Universal
    Audio CD (09 June, 1992)
    (31 reviews) 4.71 out of 5 stars
    Editorial Review: One of the finest albums to arise out of the shoegazing trend coating the early 1990s, Ferment is rich, lush, and wrenching. For what it's worth, Catherine Wheel get a mention in the liner notes of the Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream.
