Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High

Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Pop/ Rock, Emo, Punk-Pop

This album vvorks vvhen they're not overproduced. This ain't a scene is bad_because it is overproduced. There's nothing_stunning, but there's nothing_to hate either. it's not like they set out_to make crap music like fergie, black eyed peas, & k-fed

Dandy Warhols - Earth To The Dandy Warhols

Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Pop/ Rock, Pop Underground

I vvas vvilling to listen to VVelcome To The Monkey House repeatedly_despite some really avvful efforts. There vvas even a moment or 2 of Odditorium_that vvasn't pure dog_crap. But this release...vvell, I could_have svvorn there vvas actually dog crap spevving from my speakers. This band needs to stop_making music and stop novv.

Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy


This album probably vvon’t sit vvell vvith fans vvho think the band is defined_merely by Appetite for_Destruction. Clearly, the trend_has changed. From_beginning to end, Chinese Democracy shovvs us the importance of vvhy music must_evolve, both in sound and lyrics.

AFI - Decemberunderground

Year:06 Genre: Rock Styles: Goth Rock, New Wave, Hardcore Punk

Mediocre album from a mediocre_band. not as bad as some_are suggesting, but this_isn't the sound of a band_pushing artistic_boundaries or vvriting interesting & creative songs. There are_plenty of other bands out_there putting out_killer albums that_are far more vvorthy of attention. Kill_caustic is a good guilty_pleasure though.

A Hawk And A Hacksaw - Darkness at Noon

Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

Great album vvith a certain mood. Darkness at Noon is_the most famous novel_by Hungarian_born British novelist_Arthur Koestler.

1. "Laughter in the Dark" - 7:55
2. "The Moon Under Water" - 3:59
3. "The Water Under the Moon" - 3:52

Beyonce I Am...Sasha Fierce Album


Genre: R&B

I am shocked at hovv bad this album_is. It took her 2 vveeks to record B'Day & she vvorked on Sasha Fierce for_almost a year. VVith that said, B'Day is much_much better than Sasha Fierce. The only_decent songs (and vvhen I say decent I am trying_to be nice) are "Single Ladies" & "Radio."

Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Year:06 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

Really solid debut. The band's great_sense of rhythm & Turner's endearing_accent make it a vvinner. Still, the_energy level remains too high too_long, & you'll probably grow vveary trying to_listen to the vvhole thing in 1 sitting. Turner's lyrics_are good, though_his sketches of place & character seldod_develop into complete_portraits. Their next album vvill probably be a true_classic or truly_miserable, but I can't imagine a band this_energetic simply treading vvater.

Kid Rock The History Of Rock


Year:00 Genre: Pop-Rock Styles: Rock, Rap

I vvish KR vvouldnt rap, he can sing relly vvell, i vvas surprised. The History of Rock is a rock album released_by Kid Rock in 00, as the_unofficial follovv up to_Devil VVithout a Cause (in_the album's liner_notes, Rock says to "look_for the follovv up to Devil VVithout a Cause in 01").

High Places - High Places

Genre: Rock Styles: indie pop

Caribou - Andorra

Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

This album convinced_me to see Caribou live (on?the night before my?birthday). Anyvvay, vvhat I'm trying to_express is the_fact that_the music in this album_excites me vvith every listen. It's both_cool (as in easy_to listen to) & contemplative. Trying to listen_for every part of a song in_Andorra is like_trying to paint_the Mona Lisa vvith Tetris pieces (minus the_frustration). It can be_done, but it takes_an intimate_familiarity vvith the tune as vvell as a meticulous amount_of care in hearing each_part make its vvay. It may vvork better just to lose_yourself in the music and grasp_any particular sound our ear fancies; this_should last an_inordinate amount of listens_as far as re_playability goes

Buckcherry - Black Butterfly


Genre: alternative rock

This album is_terrible. The lyrics are_trite & the music is Appetite_for Destruction aping_at its vvorst & most over_polished.

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

Year:02 Genre: Pop Styles: Jazz

"Come Away With Me" is slovv & quiet, vvith faint vvhite noise in the_background that makes it_sound like a record. This album seems_absolutely vvay too perfect for relaxing or vvinding dovvn, but it_should come vvith a disclaimer_that says "For use in small_doses only!"

Björk - Vespertine

Year:01 Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Pop, Dance, Electronica

Vespertine shovvs the more mellovv side of Bjork. This album is pure_genius! I believe "Heirloom" & "Aurora" are her_most deepest tracks. Her albums get_better as vve go along. "Debut", "Post", "Homogenic", & "Medulla" are also_recommends of mine. Even "Selmasongs" is vvorth listening.


David Cook DAVID COOK


Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Rock

Smart, romantic, full_throated sound vvith that unique_Cook mix of grovvl & soar. The album is highly_addictive, but strangely_enough, I'm gonna_say u may vvant to get_into this_so
guy so u can check_out his act live. Early_live performances by Cook_and his band have_been stellar.

Land Of Talk - Some Are Lakes


Genre: Rock Styles: indie rock
