If I Were Britannia I'd Waive The Rules - Budgie
Maintains the annual album release pattern. A distinct slump.
Generator - Bad Religion
The album contains a number of excellent punk rock tracks. The first track is the best on the album and the rest pale in comparison.
For Victory - Bolt Thrower
More solid Bolt Thrower. Nothing we haven't heard before.
Decadence - Head Automatica
Bouncy and truly exciting powerpop music, tremendous fun to listen to. A couple of the tracks here are a little disappointing.
