And what happens with Radiohead? The record is a mix between their discography and Thom Yorke's Eraser... And the new album of The Cribs it's a shit. Talking about not included hip hop albums, it's a perfect choice i mean, because the style is dying since... Outkast's Speakerboxxx!!! The Kanye West album is listeneable but too much commercial and reiterative. Nothing more. (Pardon my english buy I'm spanish speaker).</P> I think NME had the best taste in music since EVER, but my surprise comes with the absence of Burial’s Untrue in albums and Ali Love’s Late night session in tracks.

standing in the way of swiss roll is in this year’s chart because it got re-released and went top 10 in 2007, despite it being around for aaaaaaaages (it might even have been a second re-release that finally did it).
