Albums that Planet Sound has rated 9/10

On reviewing Viva la Vida by Coldplay, John Earls mentions how "Other than wanting to give a thick ear to whichever colleague gave Barenaked Ladies a near-perfect score, it's a list we'll defend to the hilt. Except X&Y by Coldplay - our version of those five-star reviews for Be Here Now. Apologies for getting over-excited about a 7/10 album, one the band too recognise had its faults." Although the Wikipedia article on the album, states Barenaked Ladies got a 9/10 mark, there is a possibility the album gained a mark of 8/10, and so has been removed from the list until a reliable source can be found. Coldplay's A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Muse's Absolution both only received 8/10 and have also been removed until a reliable source can prove otherwise.
