THE 100 BEST ALBUMS of 2000-2009:








Gimme Fiction (Spoon) (2005):

the indie-rock darlings have been moving from strength to strength and here is their greatest effort. ()

THE 100 BEST ALBUMS of 2000-2009:






Voodoo (D’angelo) (2000):

it took five years for D’angelo’s sophomore to emerge and now with all the details we’ve become privy to one realises why it has not been followed-up as yet. From the stunning Untitled (How Does it Feel) to the sweet refrain of Chicken Grease, this body of work proves that he really has no equal. ()

THE 100 BEST ALBUMS of 2000-2009:







The Marshall Mathers LP (Eminem) (2000):

if his debut a year earlier had been the PG-13 introduction them Eminem would shock America with this stunning sophomore effort. Kill You is a rap fantasy about torturing his mother in a spiel worthy of Freud. Nonetheless, the quality of his rhymes and lyrical flow is undeniable: critics couldn’t get enough nor could the millions of teens who ate it all up making him an icon in the process. But underneath the excess and hype lies some brilliant tracks (The Way I Am, Drug Ballad, The Real Slim Shady, ect). ()

THE 100 BEST ALBUMS of 2000-2009:







Frightened Rabbit (The Midnight Organ Fight) (2008):

no matter how much music one consumes, there’s bound to be a band that gets overlooked year-end time. I totally missed this gem last year but here I make amends because this Scottish trio know how to melt the cold away with their indie pop brand. ()

THE 100 BEST ALBUMS of 2000-2009:









Song for the Deaf Album (Queens of the Stone Age) (2002):

the third album by the super-group features fierce drumming by David Grohl and the concept of a long drive through the American Midwest. ()
