Oh my fucking goodness. Thank you so much. I could not find this anywhere.
Catacombs:
Wow guys, the past few pages have been excellent (as the thread always is). I thank whoever upped the Gaslight Anthem album, I'm really digging it. Also, thanks to whoever upped the new Springsteen, though a few of the tracks were missing/screwed up. Was yours like that too or did it just get lost in translation?

I've taken quite a bit, so I thought I would post a few.
Just a few albums I don't remember seeing in the thread.
Travis - The Man Who (with 3 bonus tracks)
--- Quote ---Amazon.com's Best of 2000
With The Man Who, Scottish quartet Travis captured the very essence of their homeland, and unassumingly blew us away. The moderately paced, longing melodies, and lead singer Fran Healy's quietly desperate vocals, provide a haunting mask on what is actually a rugged, enduring, and entirely beautiful slice of Brit-rock.

Elastica - Elastica
--- Quote ---Amazon.co.uk Review 1995
Elastica were accused of many things in the wake of this debut album, not least that many of their songs bear a striking resemblance to stuff from New Wave punks Wire ("Connection" is said to have the same riff as their "Three Girl Rhumba"). But that's all missing the point. Here we have 15 spiky songs crammed into less than 40 minutes, a hit-and-run of an album in which Justine's detached, bored rich-girl vocals complement the addictively energetic "Stutter" and "Waking Up". There's a satisfying smattering of filth throughout, too, as "Car Song" has Justine cooing, "Every shiny bonnet / makes me think of my back on it," and it doesn't take a genius to work out what she's on about on "Vaseline". This stunning debut is bloody good fun. It's frantic, sexy and makes you want to leap about like an idiot, and, really, nothing else matters.

Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come
--- Quote ---Amazon.com's Best of 1998
If not the album of the year, it's at least the punk-rock album of the year, fiercely representing a musical ethos that has suffered the ignominious shame of commercial popularity. "We want the airwaves back!" shrieks singer (if you can use that word) Dennis, and over the course of The Shape of Punk to Come's 12 sonically stunning tracks, they reclaim the right to rage, rant, and innovate. The Refused broke up soon after recording this album, but they've left behind an invigorating manifesto.

For Stars - We Are All Beautiful People
--- Quote ---allmusic Review 2002
For Stars' brand of sadcore packs a punch on its third disc. "Wires" thunders along after its tentative start; "How It Goes" is expansive synth rock. Though Carlos Forster's vocals waver on the edge of annoying ("People Party"), there's a containment in his delivery (as on the ballad-like "Back in France" and "The Astronaut Song") that reveals he could sing just about any way he wants if he chose to. It's the silly but modern keyboard sounds that really distinguish what For Stars are doing: A mix of ethereal indie rock and space rock with traditional pop that's so unselfconscious there's every chance the band has no idea how timeless it is. If a young dBs were making records these days, they'd sound like For Stars.

Liz Phair - Exile In Guyville
--- Quote ---allmusic Review 1993
At the time, Phair's gleefully profane, clever lyrics received endless attention (there's nothing that rock critics love more than a girl who plays into their geek fantasies, even -- or maybe especially -- if she's mocking them), but years later, what still astounds is the depth of the writing, how her music matches her clear-eyed, vivid words, whether it's on the self-loathing "Fuck and Run," the evocative mood piece "Stratford-on-Guy," or the swaggering breakup anthem "6'1"," or how she nails the dissolution of a long-term relationship on "The Divorce Song." Each of these 18 songs maintains this high level of quality, showcasing a singer/songwriter of immense imagination, musically and lyrically. If she never equaled this record, well, few could.

Frente! - Marvin the Album
--- Quote ---RollingStone Review 1994
Angie Hart's little-girl voice is startlingly fresh with subversive beauty. Fresher still is the way this Aussie foursome's lean folk-art arrangements (spare piano, acoustic guitar) propel snappy rhythms and jazzy melodies. Off-kilter pop, their songs boast a dry poetic suggestiveness (think Suzanne Vega or Nick Drake) – they come across like knowing nursery rhymes for sexy, wised-up children. Fourteen gemlike tunes, Marvin is a superb first album – "Labour of Love," a classic single about the ambiguity of desire (catchy, too); "Ordinary Angels," an emancipatory life lesson ("Don't be smart, be a beginner"); "Most Beautiful," a bent bossa nova. And Hart's a real find, whether belting like a Swinging London dolly bird ("No Time") or straight-talking smoothly ("Girl").
