Best & Worst Album you've bought recently ?

What are the best albums and worst albums you have bought recently ?

I really like Razorlight & Editors but was dispapointed in Muse 'Origin of Symmetry' (Im hoping it just needs a few listens).

What about anyone else.

best- prodigy, their law. such a good album, missing some of the classics but great nevertheless.

worst- foo fighters new album, forgotten its name but no good songs on there bar best of you and doa, just doesnt compare to the old stuff, monkey wrench and whatnot.

Best Album - The Kooks, Inside In, Inside Out

Worst Album - Boy Kill Boy, Civilian.

I've also listened to Keanes Under the Iron Sea, Jury's still out on this one...there are some very strong tracks, but there are a few weak ones

i'm sure hiphop fans will have heard of j dilla. he produced the new busta cd which is out next week

i'm a streets fan, but the new album is patchy, and short, a few great tracks, but the rest are lame. it sounds more like demos or something unfinished. they were still great live tho

Does take a few spins to get into.

Best- ATDI....Relationship of command (what took me so long to find this ???)

High on Fire...Blessed Black Wings (merciless pumelling with pretty
melody)

Howe Gelb....'Sno angel like you (this is really growing on me)

Tool......10 000 days (well its Tool and I like them so no suprises)

Worst-Coheed and Cambria ....Good Apollo burning star IV vol 1 (a daft title for a group of prog rock widdlers that should have been born in 1970, somebody convince me that this isnt one big joke of an album!!!!).
