800! We are truly in the homestretch now. I'm still on track to finish by the end of 2020, which is a goal I'm very excited about. Gotta get something out of the Lost Year, even if it is just the end of a decade-long project.

Thankfully, we can celebrate the 800 milestone with a high quality album. Their sound was similar to Oasis, but maybe just a little more thoughtful, with a little more of an edge. I particularly enjoyed "On Your Own," and "A Northern Soul." 

The entire album was just...cool, which is certainly not an adjective that can be used to describe every Britpop album. They were a tracks in there that I wasn't as enthusiastic about (ahem "Brainstorm Interlude") but overall a very good album.

RATING: 4/5
