The album went straight to number one in the U.K., an achievement that landed them in The Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest band ever to do so. It produced a slew of Top Five hits as well, including "Five Colours in Her Hair," "Obviously," "That Girl," and "Room on the Third Floor," the first two of which peaked at number one on the U.K. Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right - The Mayberry MovementĠ3.

If There Were No You - The Natural Resourcesġ1.The third part of Australian neoclassical metal act Virgin Black’s incredibly ambitious Requiem project is here – only eleven years after part one appeared and a mere ten after part two was released – and very interesting it is too. Melding full-blown orchestral music to metal is of course nothing new – and it wasn’t in 2007 when Virgin Black started this journey, either – but it has to be said it has rarely been done quite as well by anyone else entering this particular field of combat. Metal bands often come off at half cock with this sort of stuff, ideas spiked by lack of finance or defeated by their own over ambition – but not so Virgin Black, and especially not on this fully-orchestral third instalment of the Requiem.
