"Beyond" by Dinosaur Jr.
"Beyond" by Dinosaur Jr.
Apparently Dinosaur Jr. didn't get the memo that reunion albums aren't supposed to be any good. Did I say good? I'm sorry, try masterpiece, as in this is their third masterpiece and first since 1988's seminal Bug. Where has Dinosaur Jr. been you say? Well the original lineup of J, Lou and Murph ha... [

"Traffic and Weather" by Fountains of Wayne
"Traffic and Weather" by Fountains of Wayne
Fountains of Wayne had me at "Radiation Vibe" - strange to think it's been over a decade since that pleasant introduction. The follow up to their eponymous debut, Utopia Parkway, is arguably their strongest (garnering a top 5 spot on my best of '99 list), but it wasn't until they nailed the "perfect... [

"We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" by Modest Mouse
Anyone who says they could have predicted Modest Mouse would one day become a top 40, multi-platinum selling household name band is flat-out lying. But by showing that indeed God does have a sense of humor, Isaac Brock with his love it or hate it vocal stylings that are only slightly as polarizing a... [

"Because of the Times" by Kings of Leon
"Because of the Times" by Kings of Leon
After being the opening act for the likes of Pearl Jam, U2 and even Bob Dylan over the past year, the brothers Followill finally return to make their third proper studio LP. Because of the Times is that record and touring with all those legends listed above seems to have done these Tennessee boys a... [

"Sound of Silver " by LCD Soundsystem
"Sound of Silver " by LCD Soundsystem
James Murphy may just be the biggest geek in the music industry right now and lord how I wish there were hundreds of others just like him. Just when you thought good Dance music had gone and died at the turn of the century, Murphy pulls it back in and gives it a much needed retooling. Anyone who tho... [

" Myths of the Near Future " by Klaxons
" Myths of the Near Future " by Klaxons
Klaxons are a new London-based three-piece rock group, whom in their press info, like to fancy their style of music as "New-Rave," whatever that means. I think they originally set out to be the next Happy Mondays or Stone Roses, but if that's what they were going for on their debut Myths of the Near... [

" Armchair Apocrypha" by Andrew Bird
" Armchair Apocrypha" by Andrew Bird
Former Squirrel Nut Zipper violinist Andrew Bird has always made intriguing solo works, but nothing could have prepared fans for 2005's Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs, his most mature and seductive work to date (and I might add, my 5th favorite album of that year). It seemed stran... [

"Drums and Guns " by Low
"Drums and Guns " by Low
When Slowcore legends Low moved to legendary Indie-Rock label Sub Pop for 2005's The Great Destroyer, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker hired super-producer Dave Fridmann to give the duo a more full, lush and approachable sound. Fridmann did just that, but Destroyer found the band in uncharted waters an... [

"All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone " by Explosions In The Sky
Tirelessly honing their craft with every single release, Austin, Texas' Explosions In The Sky make some of the most bombastic yet beautifully epic Post-Rock in the entire genre. For those that haven't been indoctrinated into the world of Explosions, if you saw the movie Friday Night Lights and wonde... [

"New Magnetic Wonder" by The Apples In Stereo
"New Magnetic Wonder" by The Apples In Stereo
After a five-year hiatus that saw side projects from Hilarie Sydney in The High Water Marks (passably decent at best) and lead Apple Robert Schneider in Ulysses (to say it stunk would be kind), The Apples In Stereo are are finally offering up fresh fruit withe New Magnetic Wonder. Never until now ha... [

"Neon Bible" by Arcade Fire
"Neon Bible" by Arcade Fire
Being that I'm the resident movie guy here at Zboneman.com I don't often get a chance (or have the time, for that matter) to write album reviews. Every now and again however, I'll hear a record that just feels to grand to pass up. Such is the case with Arcade Fire's sophomore effort Neon Bible.... [

"West" by Lucinda Williams
"West" by Lucinda Williams
Emotional pain has always been lyrical fodder for Alt-Country queen Lucinda Williams. No surprise then that the recent death of her mother and a messy break-up with a boyfriend would spark a fire underneath her to venture out west to California (hence the title) and pen a bunch of new tracks. Imagin... [

"A Weekend In The City" by Bloc Party
While Bloc Party's debut album Silent Alarm didn't pull in the ungodly sales of say… The Killers' Hot Fuss, it did build a pretty strong public following. It wasn't an overnight success though. Constant promotion and touring for two years straight, including arena opening gigs for mega-successes Pan... [

"2006 - The Year's Best Albums" by Kyle England
You may wonder why the hell it took me so long to put this list together but all I can say is sometimes life just knocks you down and starts kicking. In the past month I missed Christmas with my family because of horrible weather, was fired from my (real) job and got in a car accident. To say I coul... [

"You, You’re A History In Rust " by Do Make Say Think
"You, You’re A History In Rust " by Do Make Say Think
Canadian Post-Rock has been all the rage lately in Indie circles, what with the success of super-group Broken Social Scene and all. Charles Spearin has much to do with that said success. His work with Broken Social Scene and Valley Of The Giants has been crucial to the scene's (no pun intended) vita... [
