Robert Pollard – Kid Marine

Type : Alt Rock

Good Tracks:
3. The Big Make-Over

Not good. This is the nature of the beast that is Pollard.

The Bear Quartet – My War

Type : Swede Rock

Good Tracks:
1. What I Hate
2. Old Friends
3. Helpless
6. Walking Out
8. I Had A Job

Mostly sad songs on here, but they’re good! “I Had A Job” is a great song and one of my new favorites by them. If you’re in the mood for it this can be a great album.

Robert Pollard – Not in My Airforce

Type : Alt Rock

Good Tracks:
1. Maggie Turns To Flies
2. Quicksilver
4. Get Under It
12. Flat Beauty
13. King Of Arthur Avenue

Typical Pollard release. 22 tracks and 5 that I really like. Bob is the man, and i can tolerate having to sift through some of his garbage to find the good stuff.

Bear Quartet – Everybody Else

Type : Swede Rock

Good Tracks:
1. It Only Takes A Flashlight To Create A Monster
3. One Final, Sandi
4. Everlaster
5. Fat Skeleton
8. Layer

Meh. Their other albums are a lot better. Layer is a nice song. Not amazing but still ok.

Interpol – Our Love To Admire

Type : Alt-Rock

Good Tracks:
1. Pioneer To The Falls
3. The Scale
4. The Heinrich Maneuver
7. All Fired Up
8. Rest My Chemistry

The tracks listed are very good, but don’t hope for too much from the others. It seemed like the other tracks had no direction and just sounded like noise to me, it was weird. All Fired Up is an awesome song. Good enough for a poke.

Fog – Ditherer

Type : Experimental Rock

Good Tracks:
1. We Will Have Vanished 4:28
2. Inflatable Ape Pt. 3 4:00
3. I Have Been Wronged 3:08
4. Hallelujah Daddy 3:50
5. What Gives? 3:58
6. You Did What You Thought 5:01
7. The Last I Knew Of You 2:34
8. Ditherer 4:54
9. Your Beef Is Mine 5:39

Neat album. All but the last two tracks were worth listening to. Tracks 3 and 6 are my faves. I wish the first half of track 6 was its own song! COOL MUSIC

Radio Dept. – Lesser Matters

Type : Electro Mellow-Indie / Ambient?

Good Tracks:
1. Too Soon
2. Where Damage Isn’t Already Done
7. Slottet #2
13. Lost And Found

Not nearly as good at their next album. 13 is the best on here. Track 7 has some nice instrumentals. Not really a great album, but interesting if you’ve listened to the newer stuff.

The Classic Crime – Albatros

Type : ExtrEMO

Good Tracks:
1. The Fight
2. Flight Of Kings
4. Blisters & Coffee
5. The Coldest Heart
9. The Poet

4 and 9 are really good. It’s all over the top emo, but i still like it. Fun driving music!

Radio Dept. – Pet Grief

Type : Electro Mellow-Indie / Ambient?

Good Tracks:
1. It’s Personal
2. Pet Grief
4. I Wanted You To Feel The Same Way
6. The Worst Taste In Music [Extended]
7. Every Time
11. Tell

I really liked this. Track 6 is sweet. Track 4 is also equally awesome. Although not all tracks are listed here you may still find something you like in them, I’m just very picky. Def check it out.

LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver

Type : Electro Man-Sludge

Good Tracks:
4. Someone Great

It’s important to note that track 4 is the only good track.

Land Of Talk – Applause Cheer Boo Hiss

Type : Rock Indie Crunktacular

Good Tracks:
1. Speak to Me Bones
2. Sea Foam
3. Summer Special
5. Magnetic Hill
6. All My Friends

Almost all of the songs from this release are good. All My Friends is an awesome song and def the best. Brian seems to think Sea Foam is the best, which is understandable. Pretty damn good. Listen listen.

Travis – The Boy With No Name

Type : Mellow Pop Rock

Good Tracks:
1. 3 Times And You Lose
2. Selfish Jean
4. Big Chair
10. Out In Space
11. Colder

The tracks i listed i really like, and the ones i didn’t pretty much suck. Closer is one of the worst songs they’ve ever put out. There are some nice songs but don’t ever buy this cd. It’s too bad because i usually like Travis.

Delgados – Universal Audio

Type : Indie

Good Tracks:
1. I Fought The Angels
3. Everybody Come Down
4. Come Undone
6. Sink Or Swim
7. Bits Of Bone

This album isn’t bad. Bits of Bone is a great song. I don’t
see myself really wanting to listen to this that much, but it’s still good.

Peter Bjorn and John – Writer’s Block

Type : Indie

Good Tracks:
2. Objects Of My Affection
3. Young Folks
4. Amsterdam
7. Paris 2004
8. Lets Call It Off
9. The Chills

Mad good. Objects of my affection is my favorite on here, and the chills is really good. Young Folks is the most popular track from this release.

Minus The Bear – Planet Of Ice

Type : Indie Math-rock

Good Tracks:
1. Burying Luck
2. Ice Monster
3. Knights
6. Part 2
10. Lotus

Nice! Knights is the best here. I would say this isn’t
as good as their previous stuff because it seems kind of
jam-bandy sometimes, but I’m obviously just going to
have to give it a few more listens to get it.
