Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young

review: A fantastically ambitious record, if a little flawed. [indrock] Highlights include Glass, 11th Dimension, River of Brakelights & Tourist. [indrock] I feel that the genre style of some tracks are inconsistent with the rest of the record. This is most apparent in 4 Chords of the [indrock] Apocalypse & Ludlow St. [indrock] However these two tracks have points strong enough to more [indrock] than justify their inclusion on the record (4 Chords... solo, Ludlow St.'s Chorus) [indrock] and eventually grew to be loved.

Genre: Rock Styles: Singer/Songwriter

Vampire Weekend - Contra

Although not nearly as immediate as their (indpp) first offering, all these tracks are huge growers. (under-g) You'll be tapping your foot to the (indpp) skittering beats (this is seriously one innovative if not (under-g) overly showy drummer) and choppy and swirly(under-g) electronic sounds in no time.

Surfer Blood – Astro Coast

Nicely done guitar interplay and (under-g) well put together tunes carry this enjoyable debut from (under-g) these Florida youngsters. The record blazes out of the gate with 4 excellent tunes and (under-g) does not let up. The mood does darken toward (under-g) the end, but it's no downer. (under-g) "Anchorage" may well be my favorite tune (under-g) on this immediate winner. (under-g)Recommended to fans of the aforementioned.

Converge - Axe To Fall

Axe to Fall takes the classic (under-g) Converge sound, expands on it and (under-g) throws in some awesome (under-g) guest artists and the result is (under-g) the most accessible, genre-defying (under-g) Converge record yet and they don't lose a bit of their intensity.

Timbaland Presents: Shock Value II

Never been more disappointed with a follow up record. After the first (under-g) shock value the bar had been set, (under-g) and this record missed it by a hair (if that hair were chad kroegers). (under-g) Almost every song is a bore to listen to and timbaland seems to have no (under-g) fresh ideas so he just stretches the beat (under-g) out at the end of every track. Sorry timbo, not every beat you write needs to be (under-g) broken down into every single part in EVERY SINGLE song. (under-g) Its just sad how the mighty have fallen

Elvis Costello - Secret, Profane & Sugarcane

Elvis is a pop connoisseur; he (cuntury) knows the good from bad. (under-g) So why would he release this? It's an record of nothing; (under-g) I refuse to believe that he actually considers these a quality set of tracks. (under-g) Sure, the backing band does what a backing band should do, and the production (under-g) is sufficient, and every now and then Costello says something half clever, (under-g) but it's all decoration hiding the fact that nothing's there. (under-g) Not a single song is a keeper. Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, hell, even Neil Young and to an extent (under-g) Randy Newman prove that just because you're old doesn't mean you (under-g) can't still put out some great (if not quite classic-quality)(under-g) material.

Paul McCartney - Good Evening New York City

The concert really shines when (under-g) McCartney launches into Sing the Changes, Mrs. Vanderbilt, and Calico Skies. (under-g) Obviously the Beatles and Wings hits are great (under-g) (with the exception of "My Love," which doesn't quite work here), (under-g) but I've seen them in McCartney's previous concert (under-g) dvds numerous times.
