Very solid. Love that there's still a band which makes albums that are whole albums - not just songs after another.

A great indie album. I have a feeling we'll hear more about these guys in the future.

Definitely not Muse's best work, but on today's rock standards it's still a good album.

Not a big hiphop fan, but this album really did it for me. Many good tracks.

Didn't think much of it when I first listened to it - a couple of good rock tracks, nothing more. By time I've learned to like almost every single song.






God I'm mainstream...

EDIT: Almost forgot:

Awesome jazz album - includes a cover of Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music, kicks the original's ass by miles.

And, U2's No line on the Horizon. I do think it's one of their better works. Maybe one of their Best. Anyway, I love U2.

And I do mention the soundtrack of this Movie. Love each and every one of the songs.

Idlewild - Post Electric Blues

Hell yes

Did you pre-order it? My name is in the booklet that comes with the special edition

Also saw them perform it live for the first time at Dingwalls, Camden. The first of 3 times in 3 nights i saw them - do all 6 albums . Seen them live a total of 8 times now

Also agree with Muse and Three Days Grace. Still half undecided about Greenday.

I made up my mind, my fav album from the ones I heard in 09 was Post-Electric Blues by Idlewild...yeah I liked it more than Muse or Franz Ferdinand or Kasabian or White Lies or Arctic Monkeys and even Kent (Rod by Kent was probably my second favourite). Post-Electric Blues is the perfect summer album.
