Belle and Sebastian's startling second album arrived at the perfect time. Britpop had taken the charts by storm and indie music was beginning to infiltrate the mainstream. IYFS sounded so completely different, full of folk fuelled moments, insightful lyrics and sleevenotes that tickle the funny bone. Quite simply IYFS dwarfed most albums released in 1996 and offered a delightful alternative to the Oasis rock and roll beast. Add to this, an aura not too dissimilar to the one held by The Stone Roses a few years earlier and cult type things start happening. Scant interviews, dodgy half-lit photographs (it was next to impossible to find out what they looked ...

Belle-amissimo The second album from Belle and Sebastian, and I think their best and most accessible - you're more likely to end up singing along to this one than to their other albums.

It is not an album that I would play when getting ready for a night out but more one that you would play whilst washing the dishes as it does lift your spirits and put a spring in your step. The opening track 'Stars of Track and Field' starts off slowly and ...

The Sky's Gone Out - Bauhaus
Builds on the style of the debut, and indulges in successful experiments.
Some songs are a little weak, or rely too much on volume gimmicks, and lack structure.
The Great Depression - Blindside
Mellow elements mixed with hardcore, if you find that an exciting idea.
Essentially a rubbish version of Pain of Salvation.
Ruiner - A Wilhelm Scream
A brilliantly unpredictable album which is always a joy to listen to.
Not a fan of Melodic Hardcore? Not one for you.
Pyromania - Def Leppard
Heavy Metal - 1999
Picture Book - Simply Red
R&B & Soul - Pop R&B - 1989
Mercenary - Bolt Thrower
Some band members decided to return.
Lazy, lacking and lethargic.
Into The Pandemonium - Celtic Frost
Some successful experiments.
Some really bad experiments.
Eschaton - Anaal Nathrakh
Perfect blending of the finest elements from the previous albums.
Still doesn't really move forwards, and industrial edge is more irritating than ever.
