I didn't buy many albums that year, but it was all about Eminem, and who he would rip into on that album. He didn't disappoint! Who would have thought he'd go after his ex-wife?

Oasis - Standing on the Should of Giants Coldplay - Parachutes Fuel - Something Like Human The Cure - Bloodflowers Idk if I should include The Smashing Pumpkins' Machina/The Machines of God in my list or not. I've tried for a long time to convince myself that I actually like that album and here we are, almost 20 years later and I still can't confidently say that I do. Fuel's Something Like Human and Coldplay's Parachutes though I loved back then and still love today. I still enjoy Oasis' Standing on the Shoulder of Giants too but I find myself increasing less tolerant of Noel Gallagher's nonsensical, gibberish lyrics as I get older. When I was a teenager I could at least convince myself that his lyrics had a more profound meaning that I wasn't quite able to understand. Now that I'm older I know that's not the case... they're mostly just nonsense. The same goes with Billy Corgan and Machina. He wanted to make this grandiose double concept album and it was a complete fail and essentially made a concept album with no discernable concept. I attribute that to his inability to write good, quality lyrics. You just get a bunch of gibberish and random nonsense lyrics with an occasional good line or two here or there which makes it impossible to form a cohesive story.
