4. Mansun: Attack Of The Grey
Lantern
 |
Debut album
with so many aspects that expectations almost didn't fit this earth. More info... |
5. Depeche Mode: Ultra
 |
Very fine and mature
comeback from one of my faves. Dave Gahan sings better than ever.

6. Del Amitri: Some Other
Sucker's Parade
 |
An album
filled with 3 minute pop/rock songs than don't pretend to be more than they are - and
thereby they grow even more...

7. The Verve: Urban Hymns
 |
The classic last album
from a band that just wasn't meant to be together. This album they got it just right. |
8. Toad The Wet Sprocket: Coil
 |
Last effort from Toad
before splitting up. Up till the very last note they kept their own personality as a
lighter version of R.E.M.

9. U2: Pop
 |
The experimentation
continues and dance music plays a very big part. Only minus is that the songwriting has a
hard time against all the machines.
About U2 |
10. The Dandy Warhols: Come Down
 |
Absolutely blinding
second album from Portland's finest. They sing about being junkies and drunks sounding
like they totally know what they're talking about...
