As we begin the final two months of this decade it's time to look back
at the releases that were reviewed at that time. Naturally, I have
later bought some albums of such year but due to limitations didn't
include them in the list. Please note that the grades may have been
changed due to change of music tastes. But as far as I know, these were
the albums of note and review of 2000. Later blogs will include the
next years up till 2009.
Also note there are reissues that at the time were part of the year reviews.
