Arcade - Into the Light
All-female, alt-rock, lo-fi and catchy - Arcade jangle their guitars and put together enough melody and grit to make for an interesting album.
73
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives
... a 12 song, 30 minute gem that drips with sarcasm, dry wit, and even hints of political jabbing.

The Evan Anthem - Prologue
If you were writing home to a loved one, or breaking down in tears at every stoplight in town, well, this would be the album to have in your CD player.

Joey's Loss, Underoath, Yellowcake, and Thomas Simon WalkAbout
One day this past week my mailbox was stuffed with FIVE padded envelopes. Well, here's four of them reviewed.

An Albatross - We Are The Lazer Viking
This band is a combination of dance, funk, hardcore, and vocals from a bird of prey.

Tora! Tora! Torrance! - A Cynics Nightmare
Think of the least interesting jam session on the Mars Volta disc, now make it less interesting and make it last for 8 minutes and 42 seconds.
If you're tired of people drooling over your iPod, and how well it works with your iTunes music shopping experiance, rejoice; Dell will give you $100 if you send it to them...

Athlete - Vehicles and Animals
In fact almost everyone can appreciate this except me; thank God I got it for free. When is the new Weezer album coming out again?

Wilco - A Ghost is Born
I found that this album gets better with repeated listens but at times Tweedy seems to be pushing the sonic experimentation too far.

The Evaluation - We Built the Gun That Causes This Unending Fear
... easy on the ears, especially during the many meandering guitar break downs and hands-on-the-hips sing alongs.
