"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]

"Escapology" by Robbie Williams

Virgin Records could quite possibly be the most stupid record label in the history of music. First they give Mariah Carey 80 million dollars to make the movie and album Glitter. "Oops." And now they may have topped that colossal gaffe by offering Robbie Williams 120 million dollars for the rights to... [More]

"Us" by Mull Historical Society

Mull Historical Society is the moniker that writer, performer and producer Colin MacIntyre has chosen to call his one-man-band. Pretty much the same kind of approach that Damon Gough has taken with Badly Drawn Boy. This comparison is also apt in terms of the music he makes. If you stay up on your Br... [More]

"Rainy Day Music" by Jayhawks

No matter how many lineup changes this band goes through, they seem incapable of making a bad record. The Jayhawks don't even have their lead singer Mark Olson anymore, but long-time second fiddle, Gary Louris, has filled the void in a way that makes you forget all about Olsen. Similar to their last... [More]

"Fallen" by Evanescence

As something of a lyricist myself I'm a little picky and not usually impressed with a lot of artists out there, but I'm positively blown away by the sheer emotion Evanescence singer Amy Lee packs into her songs. Echoing with all the heartache and despair of a gothic tragedy, Evanescence' debut F... [More]

"Elephant" by The White Stripes

There's little doubt that the White Stripes are one of the most interesting musical phenomena to come down the pike in some time. Former spouses Meg and Jack White have bewitched America with their mysterious relationship, but the fact remains that what they do together musically is absolutely refre... [More]

"Fever to Tell" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Within 30 seconds of listening of Fever to Tell, it's easy to hear why the Yeah Yeah Yeah's are being heralded as this year's saviors of rock and roll. Karen O's ferocious vocals, very remiscent of Siouxsie Sioux, rip roar and howl throughout the first three fourths of the album. Nick Zinner plays g... [More]

"Night On My Side" by Gemma Hayes

Irish newcomer Gemma Hayes has been praised for over a year in Europe and even been nominated for the coveted mercury prize--which is pretty much the equivalent of best album of the year in the Europe markets. Now that it is finally being released here in the U.S. it can be properly ignored by every... [More]

"Baby Im Bored" by Evan Dando

Say what you will about the former lead man of the Lemonheads, most considered him a drama queen, and a poor poor me act of the early 90's; but personally I considered him quite an amazing talent. It really is a shame that the Lemonheads claim to fame was that piss poor cover version of Simon & Garf... [More]
