Boxer 60 reviews The National
Beggars Banquet, 2007
A great rock album
+ Enjoy
It's literate, soulful, tuneful. This is music for adults -- in the tradition of Blood on the Tracks and Court and Spark. The songs get better the more you listen to them.

Dirty Acres 6 reviews Cunninlynguists
Bad Taste, 2007
Hot off the heels of A Piece of Strange, CL do it again.
+ Their last 2 albums are the best people!!! + The wit and wonderful laced production continues.... + Not the Cunninlynguists I know and love + The farthest from their original sound... still provides the goods (that's progress I guess?)

8 Diagrams 93 reviews Wu-Tang Clan
Motown / Universal, 2007
THIS IS NOT OLD WU. GET OVER IT!!
+ You can never find Zig weak spot, stop looking!!!!! + Wu-Tang classic
For all the people complaining that this is not the 'old WU' need to shut up and move on. Every album is supposed to have a new sound to it. I love this album and I know that as individuals, the Wu still make their vintage sound on other tracks, so I'm secure in knowing that Wu has not changed, but ...

Because I Love It 33 reviews Amerie
Sony Bmg Europe, 2007
Why did it never make it to the US?!?!?!?!?
+ VERY PLAYFUL + very solid
For you Amerie fans, all I have to say is "Why did this album never make it to the US?" It's an awesome collection of music that has a 80's touches here and there and it's AWESOME! For those who are not too familiar with her music, let's just say if you're OVER Beyonce and looking for some ...

Growing Pains 146 reviews Mary J. Blige
Geffen Records, 2007
Work That Just Fine
+ Inspiring Mary ! + Growing Pains
Work That
Just Fine
Goosebumps and chills every time "Work That" came on the air, no matter where I was. An anthem, pep rally kind of song that immediately linked me back to the empowering feminist anthem "I am Woman (Hear me roar)". I can't recall a song as immediately so emotionally powerful ...

Neon Bible 136 reviews Arcade Fire
Merge Records, 2007
At last, something fresh!
+ The Arcade Fire + Improvements
Recently discovered this band and I must say this is something special! At age 48 I have heard so much stuff and over the past years I thought I had just gotten too old (as it would be presumptuous to claim that modern music is going nowhere fast). So for those that listened and still listen to ...

Sky Blue Sky 189 reviews Wilco
Nonesuch, 2007
Sobriety Breeds Perfection
+ Not as brilliant as Ghost is Born, but a natural progression
First let me say I think Jeff Tweedy is the very best male talent around today period (Jewel being the best female). This is his very best album, he uses Nels Cline to perfection, the writing is sharp and clear and the sounds delightful. This is the sound of a mind set free after years of addiction ...

Incredible CD.... even for people who might not normaly explore RAP!!!!!
+ Good to the last track + Love this CD!
I head this in a friends car, and I couldn't believe how good this is! I am getting burnt on all the normal releases in the Rap world, more of a Hendrix, Al Green type of listner lately, or hard rock.... but this is fantastic....And of course that lead me to snoop around a bit more and I heard the ...
