Hi there, Planning ahead for some January sales... These albums have not had the greatest press, but sometimes you find real gems where they've been rated badly. If I could just have your opinion on a few albums if you have them:

1)Here We Stand - The Fratellis
2)Fantasy Black Channel - Late of the Pier
3)Innerpartysystem - Innerpartysystem
4)Little Death - Pete and the Pirates
5)Think Before You Speak - Good Shoes
6)In Silico - Pendulum
7)Raise the Alarm - The Sunshine Underground

Thanks in advance

I've only heard the first two.

The Fratellis album is slightly louder than their first one - more rock stadium than football stadium. But if you liked the first one, you'll like this - still packed full of big tunes with rousing singalong choruses.

Late of the Pier I was disappointed with, to be honest, but that's probably just me. I found they were trying to cram too many ideas into one album (sometimes one song) and it all seemed a bit cluttered and lacking focus.

Happy shopping!

The only one I've heard is the Pendulum album, which I like. It's big and bold with some catchy hooks. It puts me in mind (a bit) of a cleaner sounding Prodigy.
