Interesting year. Apart from the few at the very top, nearly all others are very hard to put into any definitive order as they are all very equal in caliber. Compilations, Greatest hits etc ranked after studio albums. Only fair on a year list

1. Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely
2. Metallica - Am I Evil?
3. Rob Zombie - Dragula

77.50 Cracking rockabilly punk, punk/pop. Some top class tunes on this. Tails off at the very back end. Better than it's given credit for. It's improving the more I listen. 02/24

I've had their debut CD that I've had for about 25 years. It didn't really strike a chord with me. Mostly sounded like Aussies trying to do Americana. And Americana is not a genre I'm keen on. So until now I've never bothered with anything else from them. But every band deserves a second chance I guess as most bands can put out a dud album. This one's a lot better. Power pop. It's very hummable along to 09/25

This was basically my introduction to Nick Cave. Hence why I love this. I've since accumulated a number of his studio albums. He's one of the very few artists in which I haven't heard a bad album from. The man's a legend and a musical genius.
