My all time favourite album. And what a great live act this is! Seen them about 15 times, never gets bored. This record captures everything I love about music: energy, passion, melody, and a sense of purpose.

For me, Thunder and Consolation isn’t just New Model Army’s finest album – it’s one of the greatest records ever made. This is my favorite band of all time, and with this release they created something truly timeless!

Songs from the Rain” is, to me, one of the most underrated albums of the ’90s. From start to finish it’s a gem: soulful, powerful, and deeply moving. No weak songs here – just a timeless journey that deserves far more recognition than it ever got. A true pearl, beginning to end.
Favourite tracks: Isn't It Amazing, Thing of Beauty, Spirit of the Land [First added to this chart: 10/19/2023]

Great chart but maybe a bit too much New Model Army (but a great band).
