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!
Favourite tracks: Vagabonds, The Ballad of Bodmin Pill, White Coats [First added to this chart: 10/19/2023]

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.

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