"The Futureheads" by The Futureheads

The Futureheads first struck me as kind of an ironic moniker for this Northern England quartet, because at first impression their debut sounds like a tribute to a handful of early 80's British bands. (In order of influence, XTC, the Jam, The Clash and the Knack). True though these comparisons are, a... [More]

"EP" by The Fiery Furnaces

Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the brother/sister duo that brought you the love it or hate it rock epic Blueberry Boat last year, have seen fit to grace fans with a an EP; an odd title for a collection of B sides and unreleased tracks, to be sure, when you consider it clocks in at 10 songs and 41...

"Now The Day Is Over" by Innocence Mission

Innocence Mission have always stayed true to their mission statement, in fact with each new release they seem to explore new horizons of innocence.

"Street

Since 1994's instant ghetto classic Illmatic, Queensbridge's finest, Nas, has struggled with every release since, trying to duplicate the mastery that he demonstrated a little over 10 years ago. He finally came close with 2002's God's Son, moving back to a more raw beat inflected sound, and away fro... [More]

"Treble and Tremble" by Earlimart

Earlimart's main man Aaron Espinosa was a very good friend of the late great Elliott Smith and it's very apparent that after listening to Treble & Tremble that Smith's recent suicide is still fresh on the mind of Espinosa. It definitely shows as the emotions in Treble run high on the melancholy scal... [More]

"Get Lifted" by John Legend

New R & B wunderkind on the block John Legend has cut his teeth as a session man for the likes of big names such as Lauryn Hill and Janet Jackson, but it's his most recent work with flavor-of-the-moment Kayne West that seems to have finally paid off for him. West's own success has landed him his own... [More]

"The Osirus Mixtape" by Ol' Dirty Bastard

It's strange to think that after all the ridiculous tabloid fodder over the past decade (fathering 13 children, storming Shawn Colvin's acceptance speech at the 97'Grammy's and screaming that "Wu-Tang is for the children," shoplifting a 50 dollar pair of sneakers, making not one but TWO terrorist th...

"The Rebirth of Tragedy" by Twelve Tribes

More fun-loving Screamo-type-shit to either sink your teeth into or run for your life from. Is it just me or is this shit taking over. I guess it isn't totally S creamo. If Coalesce and Time in Malta were at a party and started eyeing each other from across the dance floor, had a few more drinks the... [More]

"Funeral" by Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire might just as well have named their first record "3 Funerals and a Wedding," as their wonderfully nuanced, dark and jaunty debut was preceded within a year of it's September release, by the death of 3 of the bands' close loved-ones and the marriage of the bands two prime movers Win Butle...

"One" by Dirty Vegas

I have to be honest with you, for a long time I had no idea who Dirty Vegas was. When they first got popular I just thought, "Hell yeah dude, Vegas and shit. I live close to Vegas Bro, hella and shit." But after close radio and television observation of the band's works I realized that these crazy r... [More]

"Jeff Hubbard's Top 25 with" by Best Albums of 2004

1. Brian Wilson - Smile (All hail the conquering functional retard! An absolute triumph that's all the better for its exhumed quality; it's like finding an undiscovered Tolstoy novel as good as "Brothers Karamazov." A hell of a lot more fun, though. Seriously, a masterpiece.) 2. TV on the Radio... [More]

"Dangerous Dreams" by Moving Units

If Fugazi wanted a groovier sound this is pretty much what they'd sound like.
