Television
4.6 Masterclass in postpunk during the birth of punk music. I always knew the guitar work was great but interesting playing all around, sneakily progressive. I don't think there has been a time when I put this album on and haven't listened to the whole thing

The Libertines
2.4 I always thought Pete Doherty is bit of wanker. Maybe his charisma comes through at a live show, it doesn't really come out here.

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
3.1 World/new age with a very solid groove and some interesting producing. I think this would be a good album to burn one to. I will check out more of the catalog

U2
2.6 A few good tunes. Looking at U2 as a whole I thought of Dave Chappelles bit “How can you care about anything when you know every goddamn thing?” Maybe if U2 did a few less protest/cause songs they wouldn't seem so preachy to me. The Edge gets his fair share of credit in the guitar world and deservingly so.

Silver Jews
Since this (probably) going to be the only Silver Jews album on the list I will have to give it a five star rating. But only as an ode to Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea, American Water, Tanglewood Numbers and The Natural Bridge. Any of those albums would have been a better selection for the list and would have been legit 5 starers. As for bright flight I enjoy it, I think it reflects the time and place Berman was in, it was a good collection of songs and a couple of stand outs.
