Nowhere by Ride

The Predator by Ice Cube

Great album, not much else to say except it's a shame a lot of the messages in this album are still valid today, sadly.

Parachutes by Coldplay

I’d never listened to a full Coldplay album before. Still haven’t, really—Parachutes drifted by like beige wallpaper in an empty room. It’s not even offensively bad; it’s just so… anaemic. Banal would be generous. It's like being bored to death by candle light.

Meh

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

Bossanova by Pixies

Want One by Rufus Wainwright

Back in 2003, I was very into Punk, Metal, Jungle and Drum and Bass; this passed me by then. So I gave it a chance, but Wainwright’s theatrical delivery doesn't do it for me. It's bland and pretentious

One or two good songs don’t make this a must-hear album. Unless I’m missing something about its impact, I don’t really get why it was ever in contention. It’s fine—just solidly average.

Tis easy to hate on Morrissey given his repeated outbursts and when you apply todays morrisey to the lyrics in some of these songs its odd, Musically good, but I find it hard to agree with the message in manyt of the songs.
