"Meteora" by Linkin Park

Linkin Park falls into that tiny category of bands that I liked before most people had heard of them, I actually had bought Hybrid Theory months before they became big on MTV with the video of "One Step Closer." Those of you who read my reviews know about my deep loathing of nu-metal and may find it... [More]

"Volume 4" by Joe Jackson

I can't express how excited I was when I learned that Joe Jackson, for the first time in 20 years, was putting his band back together to make a new record. For those of you not on the DL, Joe Jackson was one of the most scathingly brilliant new-wave punkers back in the early 80's. If I was on a dese... [More]

"Damnation and a Day" by Cradle of Filth

I've felt a little guilty with the score I've given Cradle Of Filth's last two CD's due to the fact that not everyone is going to like them. So having forewarned you, the gloves are off and now I'm going to score Cradle the way I want. The truth is a year would not be the same for me without a recor... [More]

"Love" by Julianna Theory

This is possibly the best 80s-sounding rock album since--well, since the 80s. Fans of Firehouse and Skid Row unite! The Juliana Theory have shied away from their emo-stylings for the more favorable (?) sound of the past. At first listen, one might have mistaken lead singer Brett Detar for CJ Snare o... [More]

"The Datsuns" by The Datsuns

God bless the garage rock revival, I thought I was going to be stuck in nu-metal and bubble gum pop hell forever. The Datsuns are an up-and-coming outfit from New Zealand, and all members have the last name of Datsun. Remind you of any other band? They don't really sound like the Ramones, but more l... [More]

"Sing The Sorrow" by AFI

Why is it that every time a punk band moves from an indie label to a major one, they end up sucking? Sadly, as AFI moves from Nitro to Dreamworks records, they are yet another casualty of this disheartening syndrome. Singer Davey Havok and company have been a staple in the punk community for 6 album... [More]

"Diamonds on the Inside" by Ben Harper

Good singer songwriters offer up works that are respectable in their own genre, but legendary ones transcend all boundaries. Ben Harper, welcome to this roster. This album is leaps and bounds better than anything he's ever done, and if you don't think so, buddy you are dead wrong. Opener "With My Ow... [More]

"The Coral" by The Coral

I was looking forward to this one. These young Liverpudlian lads have three great songs in rotation on my favorite satellite station and when it was released I pounced on it like a fiend. I ll admit that the rest of the album is not what I expected, but I'm warming up to it. Equal parts Echo and the... [More]

"Pig Lib" by Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks

The Former frontman of Pavement is back with his sophomore solo effort, and it reeks of triumphant progressive elements intertwined with jam-rock, jazz, and Jethro Tull-esque folk. Blessed with a beautiful mind indeed, Malkmus--joined by the Jicks--weaves overly smart and quirky lyrics with unique a... [More]

"Whip It On" by The Raveonettes

The dynamic Danish duo of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo recorded this 8 song EP in Wagner's bedroom and as the album cover declares all of the songs are Recorded in Glorious B flat Minor." Their signature tune "Attack of the Ghost Riders" is enjoying alot of airplay in hipper circles, and their d... [More]

"Hail to the Thief" by Radiohead

June 10th. That's when quite possibly the most influential bands in the last 10 years will drop their new release Hail to the Thief. Many are curious I'm sure, which Radiohead to expect--the one who rocked ferociously on The Bends, and O.K. Computer, or the one who all but abandoned conventional mus... [More]

"Faceless" by Godsmack

I've been a fan of Godsmack for over four years now--in fact I actually bought their first album at Walmart before they discovered it had bad language on it. Godsmack has always been a loud and heavy outfit who borrow from a number of great metal bands--still they have a unique groove and attitude... [More]

"Say You Will" by Fleetwood Mac

Can you believe that over a span of 26 years a band as influential as Fleetwood Mac has only recorded six albums (that is, with their classic line-up that includes Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks)? Plus they've given us nothing new in the 16 years since '87's excellent Tango in the Night. Oddl... [More]

"The Remote Part" by Idlewild

These Scots are returning with their third, most welcome, and most defining moment-to-date. If they don't win with this one, they might as well pack it in. While their music is often described as a collage of early R.E.M., energetic Bends-era Radiohead, coupled with a hint of the Smiths' classic... [More]

"Up the Bracket" by The Libertines

The Libertines are a new group of snotty young punks that throw out riffs that made The Jam tick, and vocals that would make The Clash proud. Fittingly, Up the Bracket was produced by Clash lead guitarist Mick Jones, and his influence on this album is definitely audible. You can almost hear the memb... [More]
