Other writers have also said that they feel the rock world may be at a turning point. I really do hope it turns out to be true, though there's a whole bunch of unresolved issues to be sorted out including: the state of commercial radio, the health (if that's the word to use) of major record labels, the health (that's the word I want to use) of the independents, and what role technology will play in all of this. I don't have any answers here. The Secret Machines do make me feel like something's happening though.

Apropos of almost nothing to do with your actual review . . .
(I still do not 'get' Coldplay)
Thank GOD - I thought I was the only one. Everyone looks at me like a freak when I say "I just don't get anything out of 'em." I read a review or article about the phenomenon they seem to have become and they described them as something along the lines of "weepy post-breakup dormroom music." I thought that really illustrated what bored me so much about them - the melodrama.
It's nice to have someone to back me up.

glad i could be of service!
seriously though, i keep hearing all this bombastic stuff about how they're the next big thing and so far i haven't heard 10 seconds worth listening to twice.
