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.

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.

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

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.
