Grade - B
This album reminds me a lot of Tenacious D.I didn’t just say that the Conchords are in the same league as KG & JB yet but they are quickly closing the gap. The scope in which these cats are able make parodies is limitless, from poking at people trying to lean French but […]

Album Review: Yael Naim - Yael Naim
May 15th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, Yael Naim
Grade - C+
Ms. Naim’s debut album is a velvety mix of easy flowing feel good songs that most women around the world will really like. I’m not generalizing, but it’s not an album that most dudes are going to be cranking up in their cars or on their iPods. As my musical tastes branch out […]

Album Review: LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
May 15th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, LCD Soundsystem
Grade - B+
Something fresh……..Yessssssss!
As hip-hop and electronic sounding beats become more and more meaningful to me in music, hearing an album like Sound of Silver is refreshing. Oh wait, shit! Those funky-ass beats are man made only relying on a synthesizer and not some computer program? Why don’t these guys put a disclaimer on song […]

Album Review: Deftones - B-Sides and Rarities
May 14th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, Deftones
Album Review - D+
Alright, so from time to time I plan on reviewing albums that I discover even though they may be a little older (or a lot older). I recently downloaded this pile of shit the Deftones put out back in 2005….about the time their music started sucking. It’s a mix of slow, mellow […]

Album Review: R.E.M - Accelerate
May 12th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, R.E.M.
Grade - C-
R.E.M. is arguably one of the most influential alternative rock bands of 80’s, 90’s, and today. However, in my humble opinion, these guys have lost the energy that made people fall in love with their music. This is their 14th album and after 14 albums most artists are just pumping out new stuff […]

Album Review: The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of The Understatement
May 8th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, The Last Shadow Puppets
Grade - A-
Does everything Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner touch turn to gold. Not only is this guy fronting one of the most cutting edge bands out there, now he has this side project called The Last Shadow Puppets which sounds fucking great. His influence from Favourite Worst Nightmare pretty much drives the tone […]

Album Review: The Wombats - The Wombats Proudly Present A Guide To Love, Loss, and Desperation
May 7th, 2008 · No Comments · All Artists, The Wombats
Grade - C+
It seems that a lot of the Indie/Emo music being pumped out of the UK these days sounds the same. When I first listened to A Guide To Love, Loss, and Desperation it was more or less background music while I was working. When I popped it into my iPod and really heard […]
