St. Jude

We have Arctic Monkeys at home

British enough I wouldn't be surprised if it made it into future editions of the book.

Not too bad but I'm pretty tired of UK sounding stuff at this point. 3/5.

All indie music from this time sounded exactly like this!

The last thing the list needs is MORE Britpop.

What took you so long? !! 5

All time number 1 classic

Quite enjoyed it

Has a strong Fratellis vibe. Great Indie British late 2000s sound.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: If it wasn’t for me

I enjoyed this. I will listen to this again at some point and might add it to my regular rotation. Although, I didn't find it groundbreaking and I think there's already plenty of albums like this on the list.

This was a fun one! Definitely a millennial that just really liked this in his formative years and wanted it on the list, not meant as a criticism. It was just a solid 2000s alt rock killers type album.

Indie rock. No ha estado mal... Un 4, venga.

Not a bad record, but totally mediocre and not any different from all those British 00's bands that tried to sound like Arctic Monkeys.

This was really nice and energetic.

I liked this, but I did not feel it had a needed slot in the list for me.

One of the great virtues of the list is the blacklight on my simple enjoyment of this brand of music. Certainly, the Arctic Monkeys follow through on the promise of the beginning better, but the blend ends up perfectly rocking. A little shiny-atavistic turn, fair fair.

Serviceable rockalong jams but kind of low on variety throughout.

I liked this, but I also feel like it sounds like sooooo many other bands. 3 stars.

Typical UK indie of the 2000s sounding like Libertines and Arctic Monkeys with shades of Smiths and early James. Probably got caught up amongst the other similar bands of the time, but not bad.

Well-made British Indie that is catchy, energetic, entertaining. Would listen again. Fave Songs: Bide Your Time, Cavorting, What Took You So Long?, Aftershow

There's some nice songs, it smacks of being what was in vogue at the time, but that shouldn't be held against it. It's good, but is far from standing out 2.9

I liked it

Forgetful.

This was a typical 2000s British indie rock album. It owes most of its sound to the early 2000s British alternative scene with influences from Britpop and New Wave. The lyrics felt very forced to me. There were some very clunky rhymes that took away from the songs. Overall, nothing here stood out as new or groundbreaking.

They do not have a great vocal voice and yet their vocals are too high for the music, which makes the songs tired or dull.
