Media Sensation
This week's album reviews are in..

4**** GLASVEGAS - Glasvegas
"If they're not the future of rock'n'roll, at least they sound like they have a future. Under the circumstances, that's quite a feat."

4**** DAVID HOLMES - The Holy Pictures
"You can certainly spot the influences - Neu! in the arcing synth melodies and motorik rush; Eno in the limpid, wistful instrumentals; the Jesus and Mary Chain in the blurry guitars"

4**** NE-YO - Year Of The Gentleman
"His third album lives up to its title"

4**** THE STREETS - Everything Is Borrowed
"Reaffirming Skinner's position as one of Britain's truly interesting stars"

4**** METALLICA - Death Magnetic
"This is the strongest material the band have written in 20 years"

3*** CALEXICO - Carried To Dust
"Their music can sound both wonderfully evocative or occasionally faux - as authentic as a Mexican restaurant located in Milton Keynes"

3*** THE SPINTO BAND - Moonwink
"The Spinto Band make perky indie rock that sounds like a circus unravelling"

3*** REX THE DOG - Rex The Dog
"A crunchy, 45-minute set of party-time electro"
