Hi all, I'm from 1963 and live in Belgium and have been following music a long time. I have gone through many musical stages like the Beatles, Metal, classic guitar rock, punk music, Indie, Grunge etc but the main focus is still on guitar music: favourite bands are of course the Beatles, but also The Kinks, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Husker Du, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, dEUS, Metallica, Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth, ...

Dirk Hanssens's Album Reviews
This is the 48th album of a thread of album reviews in which I'd like to guide you through my personal musical history based on my top100 Album list you can find in my profile: the previous album in the thread was "White Soul" by Green.
I know the Blue Aeroplanes are not the most famous band in the world, but if you do discover them you're in for a treat because this album and its predecessor "Swagger" are real gems.
These tracks are not so much song but are nearly spoken word but there is a kind of special atmosphere around them which makes them very likeable.
Apart from these two albums, the rest of their musical history is not that great but these two make it all good.
There are 3 songs of this album which appear in my personal songs top 1000 and 3 more on "Swagger":
- Huh! (this album)
- Yr Own World (this album)
- My Hurricane (this album)
- Weightless (Swagger)
- The Applicant (Swagger)
- Cat-scan Hist'ry
Next album in this thread: "XO" by Elliott Smith
