3. The Brothers Martin-self titled (Tooth and Nail) Every few years, a number of bands like to pay homage to New Order and many other great British new wave bands. Few actually capture the essence and style so flawlessly. The Brothers Martin (brothers Jason and Ronnie) have created a 34-minute mixture of blissful synthpop and grandiose guitarwork.
2. Bad Brains-Build A Nation (Megaforce) If there was one record I have been looking forward to since I heard it was in the making, it was this. While Build A Nation is more grounded into their reggae than hardcore roots, it does not disappoint. Very fluid, very potent, it’s a great reminder of even after 25 years, Bad Brains is still capable of making a timeless record.
1. Every Time I Die-The Big Dirty (Ferret)
Coming in at number one, this record brings the spirit of the Sunset Strip to the Hot Topic crowds. As I stated before in one of my reviews, it’s a sonically pleasant collage of filth with its own penicillin shot, well suited for a night of debauchery. It has been in constant rotation since I got my hands on it and probably will appear on many folks top 10 lists. Take a listen and you will hear many reasons why. I even have their main single “We’rewolf” as my song on my own MySpace page.

Joshe Homme has always been as good as who he's collaborting with. He's technically an average, though somewhat inventive guitarist, an average singer, and a mildly interesting song-writer and he doesn't possess the type of talent to carry a major band. Vulgaris was lame, Lullabyes was lame. Nick Oliveri provided the edge/hostility that Joshe sorely lacks.
