Ash - free all angels (Infectious)

Ash's third studio album rocked 2001 (is it really so long ago?) The album is notable for its big rock ballad "shining light" (put your lighters away please) however to me the album only really gets going on track 9 or 10...

The final few tracks on the album are among the best sequences of songs on an indie album ever. The power ballad "Sometimes" with its tasty guitar then the fun rock-thrash of "Nicole" with its shouty chorus. Then we have the sweeping strings of "There's a star" taking us into another glorious rock ballad. Brilliant sequence of songs, the rest of the album isn't bad either.
