Massively underrated or unheard of albums

A Listmania! list by D. J. Parsons (London, UK)
(REAL NAME)   
 
Brain Thrust Mastery
1.  Brain Thrust Mastery by We Are Scientists
The list author says:
  "A hugely varied but, crucially, still cohesive album from the fab WAS. Funny, poignant, shivers-down-the-spine stuff, with every track delivering something special."
£13.13   Used & New from: £3.21
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Walk It Off
2.  Walk It Off by Tapes 'n Tapes
The list author says:
  "A grower, not a shower, Tapes 'n Tapes third release is a superb aural assault made with conviction. Anvil and The Dirty Dirty are truly fantastic."
£1.75   Used & New from: £0.48
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Poses
3.  Poses by Rufus Wainwright
The list author says:
  "The 'difficult second album', it's a challenging, slow-burning work that's a good starting point for introducing people to Rufus. Poses (Kate Winslet's favourite song) is the standout."
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.91
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
4.  Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis Morissette
The list author says:
  "Panned by the critics on release, this is too introspective & idionsyncratic for some tastes, but if you have aquired said taste then this will surely resonate. UR & That I Would Be Good are classics."
£3.39   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

Those the Brokes
5.  Those the Brokes by The Magic Numbers
The list author says:
  "Superior to their debut, it's another slow burner that grates on first listening but reveals hidden depths on repeat listens. Undecided is breathtaking - stunning harmonies."
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.01
2.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

The Forgotten Arm
6.  The Forgotten Arm by Aimee Mann
The list author says:
  "Who does concept albums these days? Well, indie pioneer Aimee Mann of course. When even the booklet artwork is stunning you know you're onto something special."
£7.99   Used & New from: £1.75
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

In Ghost Colours
7.  In Ghost Colours by Cut Copy
The list author says:
  "Where has this band been all my life? Intelligent Electronica is a rare thing indeed - you'll be hooked from Feel The Love onwards."
£5.77   Used & New from: £3.74
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

The Tension and the Spark
8.  The Tension and the Spark by Darren Hayes
The list author says:
  "Darren Hayes seems to be wallowing in self-loathing (it was recorded before he came out) in this depressing but somehow life-affirming album. It's stunning stuff, Darkness being his best single yet."
Used & New from: £0.29
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

The Con [CD + DVD Special Edition]
9.  The Con [CD + DVD Special Edition] by Tegan & Sara
The list author says:
  "Tegan & Sara have created their best yet; filled with important, heartbreaking, depressing and funny songs. I Was Married, Dark Come Soon & Soil, Soil are essential."
£27.14   Used & New from: £14.95
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)
