Various - NMEs Big Four
Review by Krispijn Plettenberg
NME's Big Four is a compilation album featuring four of the biggest names in British indie rock: Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, and The Libertines. The album is a great representation of the mid-2000s indie rock scene, with each band contributing some of their most iconic tracks.
Arctic Monkeys' "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" are both standout tracks that still hold up today. Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God" and The Libertines' "Can't Stand Me Now" are also great additions to the album, showcasing the energy and rawness of the bands.
