	82 () by Sigur Rós October 29, 2002 The very, very distinctive Icelandic band generated an enormous amount of positive press (and deservingly so) for their previous effort, 'Ágætis Byrjun,' which led to a major-label deal and this album, which, like each of its eight tracks, does not have a real title. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.8

	73 Everything/Everything by Simon Bookish October 21, 2008 British composer Leo Chadburn, who has worked with such artists as Patrick Wolf and Saint Etienne, releases a more pop-oriented album as Simon Bookish. Metascore: 73 User Score: tbd
