... towards the depressing. And when Eitzel's on form, he sounds utterly anguished and desperate (how about, for example, "I've been a mess" about someone rejected in love). But the songs can also very beautiful, as well as emotional. Stand out tracks are "If I had a hammer" (not the song made famous by Trini Lopez!), with it's jangly guitar in the background; "Johnny Mathis' feet"; and "The hopes and dreams of heaven's 10,000 whores" (great titles).

Mark Eitzel is American Music Club's frontman, he writes all the songs, and now has a solo career. And really, Mark Eitzel IS (or was) American Music Club. "Mercury" was their penultimate album, before they called it a day in 1996, and their first album on a major label. It has a slightly more commercial, produced sound than the earlier work. I'd better warn you now - American Music Club you don't really go in for a lot of choruses, and the songs can tend towards the depressing.

Winner of the best lyricist award, voted many artist and music writer's favourite band ever, American Music Club have always been in the shadows. Very little air time has been given to them on radio and TV, yet despite all this the musos still adore them. I was captivated by a glowing review of an AMC box-set of Ep's in the NME. I rushed out to buy it and, I have to say, it is one of the best spur-of-the-moment purchases I have ever made. The lead singer and main writer, Mark Eitzel, split from the group due to differences in 1994 and has since pursued solo projects to little success. I cannot believe this band have been so overlooked - ... Read the complete review

 The Sound Of Girls Aloud - Girls Aloud Great set of tracks None really? |  Crystal Visions: The Best Of Stevie Nicks - Stevie Nicks 2 Disc quality package that comes with a bonus DVD of videos, promo work and commentaries Price changes; no present appearance of the singer; some errors on track notes |  Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys A few big tunes Not as fresh as their debut |
 We Are The Pipettes - Pipettes Brilliant sound, perfect pop songs, wonderful harmonies some of the rhymes |  Bridge Of Sighs - Robin Trower Great vocals, guitar Only 8 tracks??? |  We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse Insane, mad music with jangly guitars but lotsa melody Sung by a drunk sailor suffering hallucinations |
 Nouvelle Vague Vol.1 - Nouvelle Vague Unique interpretations of classic songs Some people might not like their classics updated in this way |  Fear No Evil - Grim Reaper Some great heavy metal songs with instantly memorable choruses. Excellent band name too. Nothing new, and too absorbed in breaking America to have enough respect for itself. |  Wait Ep - Polyphonic Spree Some superb cover versions; the Spree's superbly unique choral style present and corect Only five tracks; one weaker track - but it's still good |
 Hell Is For Heroes - Hell Is For Heroes Finally reappearing with their 3rd album Just not quite as good as before |
