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.

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?)

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

+ 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 ...

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

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 ...
