Stone Sour - Come What(ever) May (2006)


Stone Sour is an American alternative rock band, two of whose members are also members of Slipknot - lead vocal Corey Taylor, and lead guitarist Jim Root. The band went into breaks and reunited several times due to their work with Slipknot. 

Come What(ever) May is their second studio album released after their second reunion. The most famous tracks here are the singles Through Glass, Made Of Scars, Sillyworld, 30/30-15, and Zzyzx Rd.. The entire album is pretty good and listenable.

Placebo - Placebo (1996)


Yet another amazing debut album. This time it is the self-titled album by the English alternative rock band Placebo. There is no single weak song in this CD. Bruise Pristine is my favorite anyway.

Before listening to the Placebo album I only knew their single Every You And Every Me from the Cruel Intentions soundtrack. The movie itself is pretty good, I strongly recommend it.

Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007)


Fresh and lively, this is Yours Truly, Angry Mob, the second studio album by the British indie band Kaiser Chiefs. I  decided to get this album because I saw the video of Ruby on TV and I liked it. 

Even with the punky sound I find the entire album listenable and enjoyable. The first three tracks Ruby, The Angry Mob, and Heat Dies Down are just lovely, Love's Not A Competition ... is slow and nice.  Thank You Very MuchMy Kind Of Guy, Everything Is Average Nowadays, and Retirement are charming even though not exactly my favorite kind of songs. Another good one is I Can Do Without You, and Try Your Best has cool guitar sections.
