Kid A

Alternative Rock | Album | 2 October 2000

'Kid A' is the fourth studio album by Radiohead. It was recorded with their producer, Nigel Godrich, in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Departing from their earlier sound, the band incorporated influences from electronic music, krautrock, jazz and 20th-century classical music, with a wider range of instruments and effects. The singer, Thom Yorke, wrote impersonal and abstract lyrics, cutting up phrases and assembling them at random. In a departure from industry practice, Radiohead released no singles and conducted few interviews and photoshoots. Instead, they released short animations and became one of the first major acts to use the internet for promotion.

The Living End
Roll On

Punk Rock | Album | 1 November 2000

'Roll On' is the second studio album by The Living End. The album was the band's last major work to feature drummer Travis Demsey. In the downtime following the album's release and subsequent tour, he would leave the band, to be replaced by Andy Strachan.

A classic example of a true Alt/Rock band living in the 90's, The Living End smacked everyone in the face with the first track off their debut album in 1998 titled 'Prisoner Of Society'. It was all over Rage and Triple J for a long time. Clearly offering a punch for fans of I dunno what to call it, modern Punk with a Rock edge to it. Following that the album produced many classic songs that set the benchmark for this band. Where to next? Well you needn't look too much further down the track. Roll On continues that classic rock anthem music we all love. And bear in mind now we are in the 2000's and these guys continue to push against the trend with their classic sound. No better example than the first track and title track 'Roll On'. It's your typical 'cockney' like call to arms. Puts a spring in your step and in a way gives you that reason to fight on. From there you have the second track 'Pictures In The Mirror' which got a lot of radio play also. It does seem to lean further into a typical rock sound structure, and you will see continues for most of the remainder of the album. You can certainly notice the maturity of the band, while still showing rebellious taint, they seem to be more directed in what they want their music to present to the listener. 14 tracks and 14 minutes is what you'd typically expect from a punk/rock band. While I don't listen to it all that often, when I do I love the reminiscing. I would say that the only criticism I have is the album goes hard at the beginning with some brilliant songs, but fades away in the second half for me. I kinda feel like I'm waiting for a pump up of some great tracks around track 7 or 8, but it never comes for me. I think that is the difference from it being a great album to being an OK one.

Powderfinger
Odyssey Number Five

Alternative Rock | Album | 4 September 2000

'Odyssey Number Five' is the fourth studio album by Powderfinger. It won the 2001 ARIA Music Award for Highest Selling Album, Best Group and Best Rock Album. The album is the band's shortest, focusing on social, political, and emotional issues that had appeared in prior works, especially Internationalist (1998). The album ranked at number 1 in Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian Albums Of All Time poll in 2011. It was certified platinum seven times.
