Currently immersing the 'ol brain box with this recently acquired lot:
Postcards - Manics (I love this album!!. Miles better than I thought it would be. Strings, big chorus, guitar solo's - their most upbeat sounding album since Everything Must Go.
Collapse into Now - R.E.M - The Vaccines album currently begs the question - "What do you expect from the Vaccines??". I think the same question could be currently asked of some reviewers of R.E.M's latest album!!! It sounds pretty good to me anyway - what more do they want??? If past glories are cast aside and the album is reviwed on its on mertits its a very strong effort IMO.
Band on the Run - Wings - Under pressure, MacCartney delivers his first set of songs to finally get remotely near his Beatles output. Recorded in close proximity to a leper colony in Nigeria amid a health scare and being held at gun point. Never matched this albums consistency again.
On the Beach - Neil Young. Part of the infamous "Ditch" trilogy. Only arrived yesterday. Looking forward to hearing this one.
Tonights the night - Neil Young Same as above.
I Feel Fine - Best of the IRS Years - R.E.M - Unrelenting 1980's brilliance from R.E.M compiled.
If you beg to differ or heartily agree, please do!!!!!
