Best Albums of 2008

R.E.M. - Accelerate

Accelerate draws a line around the same circle, dazzling guitar driven, it sometimes calls lush pop melodies, sweet sugars, playful like what R.E.M. was since they've began playing their music.

Accelerate can be black at times. Cover looked quite dirty to me, as if this was not pop rock. If it was Gutter Twins (Greg and Mark's new lineup) record, that cover would be ok. I think Accelerate sounds sweet, but cover leech its energy. Stipe lyrics ,where R.E.M. fans will enjoy, are clever as always. I think you heard the first single, Supernatural Superserious. And the whole record rounds around that kind of dynamic guitars, yes rock power! I don't want to be a cranky boy giving a rating to this under 5 out of 10. This record can be rated as avarage like 6/10. Dull!

Back to Accelerate, One of the best thing about Accelerate is that the songs are so tight together. It gets your attention to some catchy guitar sections like in the song Sing For The Submarine. A perfect R.E.M. formula, i liked that song so much, sharp! Accelerate makes a noise, grab it!

MM picks: Supernatural Superserious, Accelerate, Sing For The Submarine

R.E.M. - Accelerate

Portishead - Third

Rating: 9/10

‘Glory Box’, ‘Roads’, ‘Numb’... as you know, these are the miraculous Portishead songs. They are one of them groups that are impossible to categorize. NYC Live (1998) was the last Portishead album, and now ten years later a new album has arrived. It can be described as dance music for skeletons in a graveyard, sometimes dark and cold, sometimes panicky and noisy. However, it is something new and is therefore quite admirable.

It’s been ten years! The first three tracks ‘Silence’, ‘Hunter’ and ‘Nylon Smile’ are going to make the long wait worthwhile. ‘Nylon Smile’ is a great effort. ‘The Rip’ is more a ballad-like track and starts acoustically then turns to an electronic rhythm. Beth Gibbons makes me feel very happy because she had never lost her amazing vocal talent. On the other hand, some of the songs like ‘Plastic’ and ‘Small’ are a headache, and they're something unnecessary. Considering all these great new songs, Third is one of the best new albums that came out this year. The song named ‘We Carry On’ combines rock music and electronic music. You probably remember Joy Division Shadows doing this song. ‘Machine Gun’ is a good example why this band still rocks after a ten year break. Third is simply a great album.    

MM picks: Nylon Smile, We Carry On, Machine Gun, Magic Doors

Hercules & Love Affair

Hercules & Love Affair prove that disco music never loses its brightness and creativity. Blind and some part of the album are featuring our dear Antony Hegarty ( vocal of Antony the Johnsons). Hercules & Love Affair most notably is the best thing that I've heard in a long time. Modern, melancholic and the best part of it, it's more danceable than any commercial pop records in 2008.

We always love praising good music. Hercules & Love Affair is definitely lovely job that you should hear.

New Rock Songs

1. Elbow – Grounds For Divorce
First single out 10th March, taken from the new album Seldom Seen Kid, out 17th March. Elbow is already a great underrated rock band, with this new solid rock cut they'll sure gain more attention.


2. Neon Neon [ft. Cate Le Bon] - I Lust U
Neon Neon is the artist name for the combined musical powers of Los Angeles based producer Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals main man and solo star Gruff Rhys. The single is an ice cool, 80's inspired lovelorn lament between Gruff and Cate underpinned throughout by Boom Bip's stripped-back and stylish synth-lead production.



3. The Breeders - Bang On [Download the mp3]

4. PJ Harvey – The Devil

5. Clinic - The Witch
Brand new video from Clinic from the forthcoming album 'Do it!' Watch the video.

Manic Street Preachers covers "Umbrella"

When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

One of my favorite pop songs Umbrella is turned to a rock melody by The Manics, and it's been good!

Manic Street Preachers - Umbrella
