The following year finally marked the release of Snow Patrol's second album ' When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up ', which, despite slightly disappointing initial sales, would eventually go gold in the wake of the band's later fame, along with their debut ' Songs For Polarbears '.

The release of this album marked the end of Kay ’ s eight-album contract with Sony.

The year also marked the release of Christian Falk's second album, People Say, on which Robyn contributed the tracks " Dream On " and " C. C. C ".

Influenced by their more conventional lineup, this album marked a departure from their previous releases with more of a guitar-heavy sound.

Their next album, 1984's The Big Express marked a return to the harsher and more abrasive sounds of their early albums, but the combination of the group's ' no touring ' status and the growing disenchantment of their label made it their poorest selling LP to date.

This album marked the beginning of the period known as the Virgin Years.

Containing electronic sounds and more minimal guitar work, the album was marked by Albarn's growing interest in hip hop and African music.

The new album marked a radical change in style as the revived Yes had adopted a pop rock sound that showed little of their progressive roots.

Follow the Leader marked the first album where the majority of the lyrics did not have origins relating to early occurrences, with songs like " Justin " and " Pretty " written about incidents occurring during adulthood.

Simon recorded Hearts and Bones, a polished and confessional album that was eventually viewed as one of his best works, but that marked a lull in his commercial popularity ; both the album and the lead single, " Allergies ", missed the American Top 40.

1994 also marked the release of One Day Closer, his first solo album in five years, on his new record label, Rising Records.

The album also marked the start of the band's longtime relationship with producer Dave Meegan.

The album marked several line-up changes in the band, which had previously consisted of lead singer / rhythm guitarist Tito Larriva, lead guitarist Peter Atanasoff, and drummer Johnny " Vatos " Hernandez.

The album itself opened at number 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums, selling 44, 000 copies ; this marked not only the first time a Cake album had hit the number 1 spot in an opening week, but also the lowest sales numbers for an album at the top of that chart.

Furthermore, the artwork for the song " November has Come " off of the Gorillaz ' 2005 album Demon Days has a picture of a calendar pinned to a brick wall set to the month of October with all the dates marked off in red Xs ( reminiscent of the opening scene in Day of the Dead ).

* Impaled Nazarene has some songs and album titles in Enochian: Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz (" Thy shall all be marked 666 ") and I Al Purg Vonpo (" Flames, the burning wrath ").

" Have You Seen the Saucers " marked the beginning of a science-fiction theme that Kantner explored in Blows Against the Empire, his first solo album, released in 1970, and with many of his songs in the 70s and 80s.

1987 marked the release of Overkill's second album Taking Over, the first to be released by Megaforce in cooperation with the major label Atlantic Records.

The album marked a minor turning point in the evolution of the Lennon – McCartney partnership, John Lennon particularly now showing interest in composing songs of a more autobiographical nature.

The album received a mild critical reception and marked the beginning of a very prolific period of song making.

The album was host to a marked expansion in the band's sound and their previous experiments in tape loops and effects were given a more prominent role.

The album strongly revitalized Parton's somewhat stagnant music career, spending five weeks at number one on Billboard's Country Albums chart, selling several million copies and producing four Top 10 country hits including Phil Spector's " To Know Him Is to Love Him ", which went to number one.

They later released Insen ( 2005 ) – while produced in a similar manner to Vrioon, this album is somewhat more restrained and minimalist.

The album featured improved song writing and production and had a somewhat more epic style, showcased in such songs as the anthemic " In Union We Stand ".

However, even in a somewhat weakened state The Beatles created an album some critics, such as Allmusic, found to be a stepping stone " from Merseybeat to the sophisticated pop / rock they developed in mid-career.

In February 2012, Perry Farrell discussed the possibility of releasing a follow-up to The Great Escape Artist whilst touring in support of the album, stating, " What I have not seen before is a group that's done a record, had somewhat of a theme – escapism – and then done a second record almost as if it was a follow-up movie.

This was a divergence from the concept of straight live performance without studio trickery, but a relatively minor one, and avoids the somewhat abrupt ending of the version that is used on the Let It Be ... Naked album.

" ( McLeese, 96 ) The second album also featured very different production from the first — the MC5 now sounded compressed and somewhat limited in their sonic palette compared to their earlier era — band members later said that Landau was overbearing and heavy-handed in production, trying to shape the group to his own liking.

Although the Moodies had by now defined a somewhat psychedelic style and helped to define the progressive rock ( then also known as ' art rock ') sound, the group decided to record an album that could be played in concert, losing some of their full-blown sound for A Question of Balance ( 1970 ).

London / Decca did this in an attempt to re-energise a somewhat waning public interest in the Moody Blues before their anticipated new album.

Because Kung Fu Records itself had been formed in 1996 and was at this point still a small label, the original pressing of the album was somewhat limited and it remained relatively obscure for several years ( the band's major studio albums at this time were being released by Nitro Records ).

A handful of gigs were undertaken to promote this album but label problems and internal strife blunted the potential somewhat.

Part of UFO's early work was strongly influenced by space rock ( their second album, including a 26-minute long title track and a 19-minute long opus " Star Storm ", was subtitled One Hour Space Rock ) that was modestly popular at the time, but the band soon realised the style was somewhat limited.

This breakup somewhat informed the band's final album, 1988's Everything's Different Now, particularly in the song " J for Jules ", though Mann insisted that not every song on the LP was about the relationship.

Nevertheless, the album became somewhat of an underground favorite.

The Geto Boys ' popularity was boosted somewhat in 1999 by the prominent use of two songs —" Damn it Feels Good to Be a Gangsta " ( released as a promotional single for the 1992 compilation album Uncut Dope ) and " Still " ( from The Resurrection ) in Mike Judge's film Office Space, now considered a cult classic.

The album took a cue from fellow post-punk forebears Magazine, and was somewhat self-consciously derivative of the late-70s punk boom.

This era of Cale's music is perhaps best represented by his somewhat disturbing cover of Elvis Presley's iconic " Heartbreak Hotel ", featured both on Slow Dazzle and the live album June 1, 1974, recorded with Kevin Ayers, Nico and Eno, and by his frothing performance on " Leaving It Up To You ", a savage indictment of the mass media first released on Helen of Troy ( 1975 ), but quickly deleted from later editions of the record due perhaps to the song's pointed Sharon Tate reference.

The album somewhat continued the trend of incorporating deep social commentary within the lyrics of some songs.

Despite a somewhat tepid response to the album, Helloween nonetheless completed a successful world tour, highlighted by the return of classic songs such as " Starlight ", " Murderer ", " Keeper of the Seven Keys " and " How Many Tears " to the setlist.

The song was originally intended to be included on the debut album, but was left out at the final selection, which may explain why the song is somewhat at odds with the darker feel of the second album.

1983 saw the band lose commercial momentum somewhat, with the release of their more experimental Dazzle Ships album, which mixed melancholy synth ballads and uptempo synthpop with musique concrète and short wave radio tape collages.

The album received generally poor reviews from both critics and longtime fans, and would later be regarded by the band as somewhat of a failed experiment.

Stylistically different from his previous LPs, the album moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of the late 1970s, replacing them instead with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach.
