"Midnight at the Movies" by Justin Townes Earle

It's been a while since a Country album has come along and floored me like this, but I should have expected it from the son of Alt-Country legend Steve Earle and the nephew of Alt-Country songbird Stacey Earle. With his incredibly solid Midnight at the Movies, Justin Townes Earle has made a case for... [More]

"Kingdom of Rust " by Doves

Coming off the longest hiatus of the band's career, Manchester, England's own Doves try to shake off the lackluster feel of 2005's Some Cities and try to recreate the magic of Lost Souls and The Last Broadcast, their two great early albums. For the most part, they do a nice job of it.... [More]

"It’s Blitz!" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

After the difficulty that went into making the Yeah Yeah Yeahs troubled 2006 sophomore record Show Your Bones, Karen O, Nick Zinner and Brian Chase just about called it a day. Karen resigned from the New York scenester life for the sunny skies of L.A. leaving the boys to wonder what, if anything, w... [More]

"Living Thing" by Peter Bjorn and John

Back with a proper follow up to that massively popular whistling ditty "Young Folks" that made everyone in this country either joyful, crazy or a little bit of both, Peter Bjorn & John's Living Thing is an album that is bound to leave a lot of listeners scratching their baffled heads. N... [More]

"Crack the Skye" by Mastodon

It seems fitting that the Atlanta Metal gods known to their faithfully devoted following as Mastodon will be opening for Metallica this summer because it sure feels like no pure Metal band since Metallica has been this poised and ready to take over the mainstream quite like Mastodon seems to be. The... [More]

"Years of Refusal" by Morrissey

Since Morrissey's official comeback in 2004 from self-imposed exile, he's released one great album (You Are the Quarry) and a mediocre album (Ringleader of the Tormentors). Thankfully you can chalk up his new album Years of Refusal under the former category. Produced by the late... [More]

"Hold Time" by M. Ward

With beyond successful production work for Jenny Lewis' solo work and also starting the band She & Him with ever so cute actress/lead singer Zooey Deschanel under his belt, M. Ward's profile has never been bigger. The fact that he also put out my own personal favorite album of 2006 (Post War) means... [More]

"Various Artists" by Dark Was the Night

Usually when a compilation is put together for a charity, the tracks that are thrown together are throwaways from the artists that contribute or just some sort of crappy remix of a song you already know. That is not how the Red Hot foundation rolls however. Already known for their great compilations... [More]

"March of the Zapotec and Realpeople Holland" by Beirut

Considered to be an Indie darling since the moment he released his 2006 Balkan influenced album Gulag Orkestar, Zach Condon a.k.a. Beirut has gone on to release one other full length album; the 2007 Jacques Brel, French-chanteuse influenced The Flying Cub Cup. This year's March of the Zapotec and Re... [More]

"No Line On The Horizon" by U2

"No Line On the Horizon" is U2's first record in over four years. When we last visited these rock superstars, they were promoting the multi platinum "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb", an album that played more like an extension of "All That You Can't Leave Behind" rather than an actual follow up. B... [More]

"Merriweather Post Pavilion " by Animal Collective

Well, it's barely even February and the album that will have everyone arguing that it is one of the best albums of this decade or dreadfully overrated is already upon us. Ready for the album that you're gonna hear about at least a hundred more times this year and for many more years to come?... [More]

"Working On A Dream" by Bruce Springsteen

Picking up right where he left off a year and a half ago, Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream feels like every bit the companion piece to his 2007 album Magic. And just as that album felt like it reduced the mighty E Street Band to nothing more than a bunch of unimportant, lifeless studio musicia... [More]

"Ready For the Flood" by Mark Olson & Gary Louris

You may not know it unless you're a fan of The Jayhawks but Ready For the Flood is 14 long years in the making for obsessives (like myself) of the defunct original lineup of one of the greatest Alt-Country groups of all time. Back in 1995 at the peak of their popularity, Mark Olson left The Jayhawks... [More]

"Tonight" by Franz Ferdinand

In 2004, Franz Ferdinand were the toast of the rock world with their legendarily catchy single "Take Me Out." By the end of 2005, one terribly rushed and forgettable follow-up with not a memorable track to be found just about killed all the momentum that "Take Me Out" rendered. Wisely, Alex Kaprano...
