Album Archive
A collection of albums previously listed in the Currently Spinning section of the left hand column, and any related journal entries. I only started listing these in 2006, so it's far from a complete list!

Update: Added an Album Archive with previous listings!
Managed to leave the last batch of albums up for six months - that wasn't quite the intention! If you can bear to move your eyes away from my ultra exciting main content, you'll notice I changed them! Might have to make an archive of previous albums listed, though I've bought a huge amount prior to listing them, so it wouldn't be much of a list!
The three added are my three latest purchases, though I've been listening to quite a few old albums of late, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, System of a Down, Nirvana to name a few - bit of a theme there, felt the need to reminisce, I suppose!
December Underground and AFI's previous album, Sing the Sorrow have been departures from the style of their older offerings, such as The Art of Drowning and Black Sails in the Sunset, but I can't help thinking it's a good progression. Unlike many albums, but as with AFI's others, I've really enjoyed listening to December Underground right the way through, rather than picking and choosing the tracks that I enjoy and stand out most. As with Sing the Sorrow, this won't be in its case very much!
St. Elsewhere is Gnarls Barkley's debut album, which didn't impress all that much at first. I decided to buy it after first hearing their single, Crazy, but that was a few months before it even got to radio play, and the excessive airplay ruined the track for me. Nothing like having the evils of local radio playing a track every hour the two weeks before it's release to spoil it for you! Sadly, I'm not kidding! Nothing seriously wrong with the album, its not all that similar to the single, but there's nothing that really stands out. Sort of album that fades into the background when you put it on and you don't even realise it's finished.
I haven't had much chance to listen to Twelve Stops and Home from The Feeling, but it seems to be fairly similar styles to their singles from the album, so it'll likely be a reasonable listen, but I don't think it'll hang around for much repeat play.
