You will find more info on the albums by visiting their discography (avail June 2011) **************************************************************************** NOTE::After each album I place the rating given by magazines The magazines listed below usually give ratings out of 5 or out of 10, so I decided to mark all the ratings out of 5. So if any magazine from 2002 gave a rating out of 10, i halved it :: IRELAND ::
