Full review

It seems just a little odd to write a review of a compilation album to me- after all the album IS a review of the musical year as seen from the people at NME magazine- but really this double album is a good showcase for some of the lesser known bands of the year and a good way to round up a good musical year as well as set the scene for the next...

First of - NME: well the speciality of the magazine is new, mainly indie/alternative music, so clearly an album of songs from 2006 is really going to reflect that kind of music. But in 2006 this was also the music that made a big impact on the charts- people who failed to notice the phenomenal debut of the arctic monkeys clearly weren't paying enough attention. what appears on the album is therefore a list of the major new bands of 2006- and some that i had never heard of at all!

here's the track listing for this double album (we may be here a while-you get alot of music for your money):


CD1
The killers When you were young
Razorlight America
The Automatic Monster
The fratellis Chelsea Dagger
Arctic Monkeys When the Sun goes Down (live)
Dirty Pretty Things Bang Bang, You're Dead
The ordinary boys Lonely at the top
Boy kill boy Suzie
Kaiser Chiefs You Can HAve it All
Franz ferdinand The Fallen
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Gold Lion
Feeder Lost and Found
The Rakes 22 Grand Job
The maccabees X-ray
The MArshals MAke Her Cry
The Rapture Get myself into it
New Young Pony Club Ice Cream
Dogs London Bridge
Wolfmother Woman
Little Man Tate House Party at Boothy's

CD2
Snow Patrol Chasing cars
Keane Is it any wonder
The kooks She moves in her own way
Guillemots Trains to Brazil
Thom Yorke Harrowdown hill
The Charlatons Blackened Blue Eyes
Babyshambles Albion
Embrace Nature's Law
Bloc Party Here We are
Bedouin Soundclash When the night feels my soul
Patrick Wolf Accident and emergancy
Peter bjorn and John Young folks
The dears Ticket to Immortality
BellX1 Rocky took a lover
Joyzipper 1
Just Jack writer's block
Cribs You're going to lose
Milburn Send in the boys
Cord sea of trouble
Scott Matthews Elusive


And really that list is why i like it- i can't say that i was entirely convinced by some of the bands on here through the year, at least not enough to buy a whole album of their work. which isn't to say that i didn't enjoy their songs i just didn't buy them. so while i happily bought the killers, i didn't even think about giving the fratellis or the ordinary boys a try. And here's the one little problem with this album, for those who download singles it's extremely likely that if you liked the song at the time of release you'll already have it- it's not really as though they've picked the less popular songs of the artists to showcase their talents- but rather gone for the blockbuster (snow patrol chasing cars- let's see the biggest selling song of the year- is there anyone left who doesn't have it?) while this hasn't actually been a problem for me cause i don't tend to download singles i can see that it could make it pointless to buy this album if you did.

The real joy for me though was the discovery of bands i apparently missed in 2006- both cds seem to end with bands and songs i haven't heard before so that alongside the more established acts of the year i found NEW music that is really good. Acts like Just Jack and the maccabees are already making noise in 2007 and from their offerings on here ic an see why. ok so maybe it's just me who hasn't heard of the marshals or cord but really it was the discovery of these bands i hadn't heard of that attracted me to the album in the first place- i could have lived without all the arctic monkeys and fratellis, but with the addition of lesser known songs on the album i couldn't resist having a reminder of the very interesting music year 2006 was. So really if you'd like to be introduced to some new bands , or if like me you didn't really notice some of these bands go by but kinda liked the singles then this is a good album to do it with

NME the future of music
Review of Essential Bands, The (NME Presents - The Brand New Collection) - Various Artists by jamiemazza

Advantages: Value for money, Bands, Songs
Disadvantages: all the same type of music( not a bad thin if your into that)

As another reviewer said and i feel it is a good point, it is a bit strange reviewing a compilation CD that is just a review of the best bands of last year voted for by NME. However it is a great compilation and includes some of the greatest songs and bands of last year For example Razorlight- America Snow patrol chasing- Cars Bloc Part- Here we are Etc SO this would make a great present if you do not know what to get someone as most people will ...
...do and this music is not really my favorite type and NME being a popular music magazines it will be most likely there will appreciate. CD1 The killers When you were young Razorlight America The Automatic Monster The fratellis Chelsea Dagger Arctic Monkeys When the Sun goes Down (live) Dirty Pretty Things Bang Bang, You're Dead The ordinary boys Lonely at the top Boy kill boy Suzie Kaiser Chiefs You Can HAve it All Franz ferdinand The Fallen ...

Quick review of Essential Bands, The (NME Presents - The Brand New Collection) - Various Artists
Review of Essential Bands, The (NME Presents - The Brand New Collection) - Various Artists by heartbreak_soup

An absolutely amazing CD courtesy of NME. It includes some of the best bands of the past year, including my personal favourites Dirty Pretty Things and Razorlight. With a mixture of well known bands and relatively new bands it contains al the essential songs for any indie kid, and the addition of a live track from the Arctic Monkeys it displays the talent of these bands to persuade people to listen. There are a few rubbish songs in my opinion, in the form of Snow Patrol, Keane and the Ordinary Boys, but as the rest of the alum is brillant this can be overlooked!! Top album, can't wait for the next one!
