Great tunes, good mixing, nice sequencing. Shame the "Clubber's Guide"s have gone down in quality.

Amazingly chilled album May cause drowsiness

"Cottonwool" and "Gorecki" Many tracks don't have a strong melody

A very, very good albumn

Cool, Eclectic Dodgy Beta Band tune

Speed Of Sound - Anvil
Entertaining classic metal with doom-style guitars. The lyrics.

My Name Is Nobody - Soundtrack
Creative to the max, very fun and hugely entertaining Maybe a little too cooky for some and, oh that ticking clock...

Leaving Eden - Antimatter
Gloomy atmospheric rock in the style of Anathema. It won't make you cry or anything.

Baptism By Fire - Apathy
Pop - 2007

Folkloric Feel - Apostle Of Hustle
Atmospheric and varied. Obvious singles are less impressive.

Powerful Gothic Metal, Manson At His Best None

Animal - Animosity
Competent technical death metal that doesn't show off. Lacks individuality.

Android Domena - Ars Nova
Talented old-school prog. Confused intentions.

A Diamond For Disease - Arsis
Title song is a brilliant long death metal piece. Other half is essentially filler.

6 6 6 - Aphrodite's Child
Innovative and highly imaginative early prog classic. Descends into a shambles at points.
