review: Brilliant! This is an excellent album. It took me a few listens to (broken hardships) really begin to appreciate the amazing bit of work that (murder ballad’s) Josh put forth on his 6th studio record. (bittersweet) I actually believe that this record is slightly better than Historical Conquests, (high-water mark) as his ability to paint a (new folk standards) picture to sound has moved him (passionate) closer toward the level of "folk legend."

Circa Survive "Blue Sky Noise"
review: This is represents a further move (modern rock) towards the middle 4 Circa Survive. Similar to On Letting Go,(2007 album) the group has traded some of their dark urgency for better production (grammy-winning producer)and more accessibility. With the exception of "Glass Arrows", (confrontational) their sound is much less interesting and immediate. (emo-punk,feeling blue) In Aviate does a better Circa Survive than Circa Survive now.

review: This is absolutely amazing and (hiphop and African music) 1 of the best Rap albums I have heard in a a few years. (politics-society) Nas lyrics are sharp and to the point. Marley(the youngest son of Bob Marley) vocals are unmistakable. Praise 4 this record.

Rick Astley "Whenever You Need Somebody"
review: A smooth pop-soul singer with a (England's dance music) deep baritone voice uncommon 4 a (then)-21 year old white guy from UK, (vintage 80s) Rick Astley burst upon the music scene like fire in (producers/songwriters) the winter of 87 with the huge hits "Never Gonna Give You Up" and (soul/pop/dance music) "Together Forever." Both of these are prime examples of the (Romantic Evening) sweet, catchy pop that is the trademark of the Stock-Aitken-Waterman (Fondness) team, along the only slightly less sizable hit (party-celebratory) "It Would Take A Strong Strong Man".

Bettye LaVette "Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook"
review: Starting with song "It Don't Come Easy"(Ringo Starr’s), my copy skipped. I was enjoying It don't come easy and (British rock legends) really inspired by her arrangement when it started skipping,(remarkable album) so I skip to song "Maybe I'm Amazed"(Good-Natured) and the same thing.

Roky Erickson and Okkervil River "True Love Cast Out All Evil"
review: The tracks and performance seem sweet (sounding strong) and direct and heartfelt - so I find the heavy strings (spirited rock & roll) and crowd-speak distracting. It is the sweetness that will (elliptical lyrical style) bring me back 4 a listen time and again.

review: An incredible album.

This record is Mike Pattons (vocal) and Fantomas's take on popular tv scores like 'Cape Fear' 'Twin Peaks'.

Janelle Monae "The ArchAndroid"
review: I just love the musical production (70-minute album) on this project. The ingenuity, the creativity, the style, the grace, (introduced in the 07 EP) and most notably Janelle's sweet voice. She blends so many styles to (story of CindiMayweather) create a unique concoction comparable to a magical potion that puts (passionate) the listener under her spell. I am absolutely captivated. Janelle actually (conceptual detail) came out with an EP years before (vice-chancellor) Lady Gaga stepped onto the scene.

Jonsi "Go"
review: Sounds like a peppy good time. (Sigur Ros first solo album) The sound has matured and become something new and different with every record. The songs alternate (atmospheric) between electronics and instrumentals, some incorporating both. (sugary vocals) It all comes together beautifully. For me, it was appealing (like "Animal Arithmetic") upon first impression, which doesn't happen most of the time.

review: Really bored first few listens. the Sweet Part of the City and Soft in the Center tracks sound like The Hold Steady meets (slithering guitar riff) Stone Temple Pilots meets Counting Crows, "Rock Problems" has a definite hair metal vibe, We Can Get Together track feels like a romantic.
Keane "Night Train"
review: I hear a lot less of that mess in this record. (in ft. K'Naan) It's more what I was expecting Keane to evolve into, with (guest Tigarah) a little hip-hop added in. Obviously these guys are into that sort of thing, and they (Tim Rice lead vocals) do a reasonable job of it without ruining their work with it.

Angus And Julia Stone "Down The Way"
review: Good album! They've expanded the sound (both members) there are velvety textures, lusher arrangements and, (Julia still sings in a soft) occasionally, actual choruses. And when the Stones harmonise (instrumental duties) against a background of faraway guitar and strings, (nocturnal-sounding) the combined voices make tracks such as "Black Crow" feel magical. Songs like "Yellow Brick Road (great song)" "Draw Your Swords" and "Walk It Off".

Crystal Castles "Crystal Castles"
review: CrystalC. tend to take everything (creative side) they want in their debut release. Every genre or styles or kind of sound they wanna do (Atari sound chips), and ultimately, your attention. And those two are what's best about this group; (vintage-game soundtracks) they take familiar elements and sounds and turn them into something you've (cooing and guitars) probably never heard before. This is especially true for some of the more aggressive songs, which this group is most noticed for. Alice Glass' distorted voices (familiar-sounding) and Ethan Kath's indielectronics can be as wild and unpredictable as any punk band I've ever seen.

Plan B "The Defamation Of Strickland Banks"
review: This is concept album, with each song telling different (70s socio-political) parts of the tail of some Strickland Banks (hard-rap style) character who gets locked up 4 a crime he didn't commit. Drew sings in a throaty falsetto, (soul-music) sort of a cross between Terence Trent D'Arby and Smokey Robinson. (rollicking) "Love goes down" is an incredibly good ballad with sweeping strings, fleeting horns, (electronic) and lovely harmonies and it's a deadringer 4 a Motown classic.

the Seahorses "Do It Yourself"
review: This record has all the characteristics of a excellent album. (classicist Britpop) Its well co-ordinated catchy "choons" really bring the record to life. (squire sounds) Although Mr. squire is not quite up to scratch (b. trad rock) i believe that this bring out the character in the band. My opinion "well worth a listen".

the National "High Violet"
review: I'm enjoying this record though not as good as I hoped. (introspection) Alligator is still my favourite from them but I'm going (autumn modes) to give this some time as I wasn't overly impressed by Boxer (2007 album) when it came out but love it now.

the Apples In Stereo - Travellers In Space And Time
review: The most notable influence on Travellers (Schneider's wispy vocals) has to be 70s-era disco music, which shows up on tracks like "Hey Elevator," "No One in the World" (catchier pop song) or "Dance Floor." The former is a dance-along, sing-along pop (disco strings) masterpiece in and of itself, and the album's greatest asset. Of course, (wacky synths) The Apples are no strangers to singable pop tracks, but it's rare that one has been this (party time) instantly-enjoyable and able to hold its own after several repeat listens. (vintage Apples) "Dance Floor," doesn't have as strong of a melody, (beats into their trademark) but it too pulls off the band's new dance sound flawlessly.80/100
