86.94 A magnum opus. This album is full of perfectly constructed tracks which segue brilliantly into each other. A masterpiece in it's own right. 01/23

83.75 Discovered Beth Orton at 'The Big Day Out' playing mid afternoon on the secondary stage. I was lying on the grass having something to eat before indulging on the bourbon and mind altering substances I had to see me through the evening and night. I knew none of her music. But it was so hypnotic and serene. It fit the mood so perfectly and she has the most beautiful voice. I was hooked. When something sounds that good before you've taken your drugs, you know your onto a great thing. Queen of alt folk.

82.91 Driving rhythms right through. I don't like putting music into sub-genres but if we're going to lump this into the nu-metal category it ranks as one of the superior albums of that genre. One flaw is that it does have a very similar feel throughout but finishes with a nice change of pace with 'December'. Very under rated and deserves more credit than it's ever had. 02/22

82.30 Saw Shihad for the first time as support for Motorhead during the 1916 tour. That was long before this. But I knew from seeing them they'd do well. And this is there pinnacle. All hail Shihad. Shihad's magnum opus. Best they've made. Best metal/hard rock album to come out of NZ. A bit top heavy, second half leveling off a bit but overall this is a fantastic album. If you like metal, get it. You wont be disappointed 01/24

81.81 This is the where they started to expand their sound and style and it upped their game in my opinion. There were the bangers, but many tracks also oozing a hypnotic serenity. It was from this album they became the undisputed kings of electronic music 02/25

81.66* From their golden era. Lot of their best songs on this. Even the songs that weren't commercially pushed have that classic Chili's sound. That's what makes this one of their better albums. But like most Chili albums, too long, they should of cut out about 4 tracks. Then they'd have had an absolute classic. 05/25

81.10* All Filter songs I knew I really liked. But for some reason I always bypassed getting their albums. I think I thought that a whole album of their style wouldn't do it for me as Filter have a sound unto themselves which gives them a unique flavor. I seemed to have been wrong. Great heavy rhythms. Great album. 11/25

80.35 I saw him during this tour. Decent concert. This is a good showcase of his earlier days. Good album for the casual fan. Probably what I think of as his golden era. Lot of good songs. I prefer the studio version of a few but overall a decent listen. He does come across as a bit of a twat with some of his onstage banter but we can overlook that as he was going for shock value. 02/22
