(REAL NAME)   
 
Where Did the Night Fall
1.  Where Did the Night Fall by U.N.K.L.E.
The list author says:
  "MISS - Unkle's 5th studio album is exactly the same as their last. There is absolutely nothing new or exciting here. Hardly an Unkle classic."
£10.00   Used & New from: £1.98
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Immersion
2.  Immersion by Pendulum
The list author says:
  "HIT - Still the cream of the crop when it comes to Drum and Bass, and with a few new tricks up their sleeve Pendulum have really proved their quality with this diverse offering."
£9.97   Used & New from: £1.72
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (72 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Further
3.  Further by The Chemical Brothers
The list author says:
  "MISS - This album showcases a very different approach for the Chems, but with such aweful tunes as Horse Power, it was never going to be a classic."
£14.28   Used & New from: £4.96
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Heligoland
4.  Heligoland by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "MISS - Yes, there are 2 or 3 very good tracks here, but the album as a whole is a total letdown after 7 years of hiatus."
£4.49   Used & New from: £3.13
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (70 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Disappear Here
5.  Disappear Here by Hybrid
The list author says:
  "HIT - Only just though, Hybrid's 4th is definately their worst so far, but still has enough quality to keep people happy."
£10.77   Used & New from: £8.38
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Black Light
6.  Black Light by Groove Armada
The list author says:
  "MISS - Perhaps the biggest miss on the list, not one deceent tune. I don't know what Groove Armada were trying to achieve."
£10.21   Used & New from: £1.94
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (72 customer reviews)

Plastic Beach
7.  Plastic Beach by Gorillaz
The list author says:
  "MISS - A close second. Yes the Gorillaz are experimental and really interesting, but apart from Stylo and a couple of other tracks, 'Plastic Beach' really is a huge mess."
£4.88   Used & New from: £1.94
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (80 customer reviews)

Divided By Night
8.  Divided By Night by The Crystal Method
The list author says:
  "HIT - Brilliant! TCM have still got it and they've had help from some excellent vocalists on this LP."
£12.90   Used & New from: £8.64
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

These Hopeful Machines
9.  These Hopeful Machines by BT
The list author says:
  "MISS - BT has over-used his little splice technique beyond all belief. Indeed, he now seems incapable of making any songs without 3 minutes of spliced beats, vocal jumps and wierd scratchy noises."
£15.79   Used & New from: £4.80
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

WE LOVE MACHINE
10.  WE LOVE MACHINE by Way Out West
The list author says:
  "HIT - Not quite as good as 'Don't Look Now' but still an album full of awesome dance music and a great deal of diversity."
Used & New from: £5.95
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Invaders Must Die (2CD / DVD / Booklet - Special Edition)
11.  Invaders Must Die (2CD / DVD / Booklet - Special Edition) by The Prodigy
The list author says:
  "MISS - The Prodigy are a shadow of their former selves. 'Invaders Must Die' starts and ends very strong, but the middle tracks all sound exactly the same. Howlett may finally be running out of tricks."
£5.49   Used & New from: £2.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Wait For Me: Deluxe Edition
12.  Wait For Me: Deluxe Edition by Moby
The list author says:
  "MISS - Moby clearly HAS run out of tricks. Boring, boring, mellow mood music that should live on entertaining people in elevators until the end of time."
£12.97   Used & New from: £9.90
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Scars
13.  Scars by Basement Jaxx
The list author says:
  "MISS - Some great tracks on here, but like most Jaxx albums, there is simply too much clutter to be enjoyed all the way through."
£1.75   Used & New from: £0.01
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Rum & Coke
14.  Rum & Coke by Dub Pistols
The list author says:
  "HIT - Amazing. The best album I own for lazy summer afternoons. Funky, cool and rich in excellent vocals. Well done Pistols."
£13.24   Used & New from: £5.24
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Oblivion With Bells
15.  Oblivion With Bells by Underworld
The list author says:
  "HIT - Underworld's 6th studio album is, in my opinion, their best to date. 'Barking' is rich and brimming full of quality dance music including house, chill out, drum and bass and good old techno."
£20.71   Used & New from: £4.24
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

The Dream
16.  The Dream by The Orb
The list author says:
  "HIT - One of their finest albums to date. The Orb have stormed back after a series of messy, unsuccessful albums to deliver a great LP which reminds you just how zany and creative they truly are."
Used & New from: £6.39
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Environments Vol.3
17.  Environments Vol.3 by Future Sound Of London
The list author says:
  "MISS - It's ok in small doses, but really FSOL have been redundant for over a decade."
£8.97   Used & New from: £7.69
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Giants
18.  Giants by Chicane
The list author says:
  "MISS - Chicane's most recent offering kind of sums up the club music scene in some ways. Tacky, cheesy, naff vocals and predictable music. 10 years ago, Chicane was ground-breaking, but not any more."
£7.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

Pieces In A Modern Style 2 [2 Disc Edition]
19.  Pieces In A Modern Style 2 [2 Disc Edition] by William Orbit
The list author says:
  "HIT - Surprisingly, this offering of ambient reworks is actually very good. Orbit has improved his methods by including some minimal beats, a few solid rhythms and some zany melodies. Very relaxing."
£12.97   Used & New from: £6.93
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)
