Album 496: The Lexicon of Love
And I thought the 80s reached their trough of naffness in the works of WHAM.
Album 593: Music for the Masses
The first new album from this 1001 album list that Ive really wanted to go back and listen to again. And again. And again.
Ive heard most of depeche mode's singles and played violator to death as a student. But this is the first time Ive heard this masterpiece of menacing beauty.
Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses
9/10
Album 833: Antichrist Superstar
A foolish choice. If the authors wanted a token album by the 90s Alice Cooper, then the later album Mechanical Animals does a much better range of this band's style of shock industrial goth than this shoutfest that has little to commend it than the breakthrough single, the beautiful people.
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
3/10
Album 956: Stripped
An album that belongs on no greatest list. This is the sound of X factor relating stories off Jerry Springer. Dire well before you get to drrrty (spelling indeterminate). She has a voice, but what she does with it isnt worth the bandwidth.
Stripped: Christina Aguilera
1/10 - this album brought us the song beautiful, the magnificence of which has nothing to do with Christina.

Album 830: Second toughest in the infants
Excellent mix of 90s fastpaced electro and dance club music. Not as good as Orbital, but still fabulous
8/10
Album 71: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
This album brings to mind the building in Bradford which, I am reliably informed, is so absolutely awful that it has been granted listed status so that it remains forever as a reminder of what monstrosities you can create with concrete and how the mistakes of the 60s should never be forgotten.

Album 814 : Odelay
Are these songs? Or is this noise? Beautiful, eclectic, surprising noise.
Not so keen on the drawling vocals but otherwise a decent album
7/10
