  1. We Are Scientists - Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt

    We Are Scientists - Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt

    Oh bloody hell, a re-release. We Are Scientists are great, and there's no hiding that, but in bringing out 'Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt' again, they're making a bit of a mistake.

  2. Kaiser Chiefs, Alexandra Palace, London

    Alexandra Palace is worn out, sweaty, but couldn't have a bigger grin on its face if it tried.

  3. Hot Chip - Boy From School

    Hot Chip - Boy From School

    If you thought Hot Chip had mastered the art of the grower with 'Over And Over', think again.

  4. Snow Patrol - You’re All I Have

    Snow Patrol - You’re All I Have

    Less the guilty pleasure of 'Spitting Games', 'You're All I Have' is left sitting alongside Embrace, chatting about the XFM playlist. Oh dear.

  5. Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue

    Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue

    'The Blues Are Still Blue' does have a bit of the Marc Bolan about it. Sure, you'll laugh now, even if you've heard it, but go back and give it a spin and it's there, loud and proud.

  6. Morrissey - You Have Killed Me

    Morrissey - You Have Killed Me

    Strings soar, lyrics make no bloody sense, but sound meaningful, and by the end you sort of like Morrissey a bit more than you did before you started

  7. White Rose Movement - Girls In The Back

    White Rose Movement - Girls In The Back

    A bit too much surface and not enough substance, if it rained, you'd imagine 'Girls In The Back' would melt away. Flimsy but fun.

  8. The Streets - When You Wasn’t Famous

    The Streets - When You Wasn’t Famous

    A melody which, on first listens isn't really a melody at all, coupled with lyrics which although witty and clever, are by no means anywhere near singalong would, in most cases, be recipe for complete disaster.

  9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion

    If 'Gold Lion' is a statement of intent, then it has just one message. To let the world know that not only are Yeah Yeah Yeahs back, but they're sounding even better than they did before they left us.

  10. The Pipettes - Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

    The Pipettes - Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

    Full of dance moves and polka dots, 'Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me' rattles on at a fair old pace, never forgetting to check its hair on the way.

  11. The Raconteurs, London Astoria

    If anyone began to feel for co-frontman Brendan Benson, it wouldn't be long before they stopped. This isn't a side-project; it's one of 2006's success stories.

  12. Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen / L. Wells

    Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen / L. Wells

    Franz Ferdinand have only gone and done something clever. They've released another track from 'You Could Have It So Much Better', but added a brand new one just because they can.

  13. The Automatic - Raoul

    The Automatic - Raoul

    Despite a great hook, the tune isn't entirely memorable, and with lyrics which at times seem unintelligible, Arctic Monkeys aren't going to be buying new boots to quake in anytime soon.

  14. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

    What could have been a disapointment is most certainly a triumph, and with live shows on the horizon, it's about time we had Karen O back to her iconic best. Welcome back.

  15. Graham Coxon - Love Travels At Illegal Speeds

    Graham Coxon - Love Travels At Illegal Speeds

    Bleedin' heck! It's that Graham Coxon, and he's only gone and done the best bloody British punk album of the last twenty years.
