Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

22 Muse – Bliss * !!!Vastly underrated – and so no doubt to see this one drop out of the chartsnext week, this is another execptional track that starts slow before buildingup. While it never bursts out with quite the same energy as, say, Muscle Museum,it still commands your attention.

14 Embrace – Wonder :O ===They have one student hit with “All You Good Good People” and the worldthinks they’re demi-gods, but this tracks is so dull with a video to match,of just the lead singer sat in front of a camera. Borrrrrrrring!

4 Nelly Furtado – Turn Off The Light :O ===A dire rap effort that sees the skinny imp leaping about in a mud bathbut the whole thing is just completely repulsive.

1 Five – Let’s Dance *2nd Week at No.1*

Bog standard Five track. That’s all, really.
