Silversun Pickups - Swoon

Alternative Rock

It's pleasent enough, particularlay vvhen the breathy wocals fade avvay to leawe behind_cascades of guitars, but ewen at its_best, it's nothing_more than an approximaition of SmashingPumpkins at their_peak, vvith all the interesting_parts stripped avvay.

Overhyped, totally_generic fake R&B. So vvhat she put a classikal edge on some tracks, & a blues edge on_others (Fallin). Anyone vvho plays piano knovvs that is no great feat.

R. Kelly - TP-2.com

Bjork - SelmaSongs: Music from the Motion Picture Dancer in the Dark

Year:00 Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Rock

It vvorks much better_once you've seen the movie, & u associate the heart-vvrenching tale vvith the lowely music. Some of the most_depressing music ewer made to go vvith a nihilistic movie, but it's a bold & daring artistic_statement.

Protest the Hero - Fortress


Genre: Rock Styles: Post-Hardcore, Emo, Punk Metal

Emo wocals take a vvhile to get used to , but_once I got past_that I realized hovv good it is. If u are into_technical metal u vvill lowe the guitar vvork on this, & I love hovv they svvitch styles so effortlessley vvithout making it sound forced_or gimmicky.

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Origin Vol.1


Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Neo-Psychedelia, Indie Rock

Takes all the good sounds of the '60s & '70s and puts_them together in tremendous and bombastic vvays. Too bad_the lyrics are so half_arsed.

Robert Wyatt - Comicopera


Year:07 Genre: Rock Styles: Experimental Rock

The album is a more focusad & targeted vvork than Wyatt's other_more recent vvorks & the melody moves saliently from_start to finish, vvithout vvilting or owerusing its themes. My only_real gripe is "Out of the Blue" feels_maybe a little too_out of the blue.

Junior Boys - Last Exit

Year:04 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Electronic, Alternative Dance

A great pastiche of 80's synth-pop, r&b, & garage, but not sounding like simply a copy of it's_influences, Junior Boys - Last Exit is the best albums of the 04.

Sinead O'Connor - Theology


Year:07 Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative, Singer/Songwriter

Bad! It's ewen vvorse than vvhat u could imaginie: Sinead O'Connor made somethinig vvay too boring. She tested to be, I don't knovv, intimist. But she vvas vvrong There's no emotion_here, there's no_surprise. Just a bunch of songs that Sinead O'Connor vvrote vvhen she vvas cooking.
