Traindodge – Wolves – Review

November 3, 2006

Zeppelin-meets-Crimson titans have been at the game for quite a while. No surprise that Wolves is the band’s most streamlined, cohesive, and addictive record.

This Day and Age – The Bell and the Hammer – Review

November 3, 2006

They know when to shout to the sky, when to hold back and build pressure, and when to go for the throat. Even when going full-out, there’s never any melodrama.

The Draft – In a Million Pieces – Review

November 3, 2006

Comparing The Draft to Hot Water Music is a cowardly way to approach the album. Chris Wollard didn’t alter his songwriting just cuz he’s flying a new banner.

Roma 79 – The Great Dying – Review

November 3, 2006

Shoegazey, mathy, intelligent rock that’s unstained by these modern times’ dirty emo/pseudo-R&B hands, which means “totally fucking rulin’.”

Estradasphere – Palace of Mirrors – Review

November 3, 2006

Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3) discovered Estradasphere, a six-piece from Santa Cruz, CA who utilize classical, rock, and ethnic instrumentation.

Murder By Death – In Bocca Al Lupo – Review

October 27, 2006

Pretentious sounds derogatory, but it used to be pretentious to use a cello. This rips from beginning to end, even if they pander to duplicate their last album.

The Pink Spiders – Teenage Graffiti – Review

October 27, 2006

Ric Ocasek did a good job producing, but he rounded off too many edges. The band’s left somewhere between Sugarcult and OK GO with Exploding Hearts’ wardrobe.

The Voodoo Jets – Supersonic – Review

October 20, 2006

Big, bright, lushly-produced car songs whose mood swings will cover your roadtrip from misty sunrise, through burning mid-day, to somber dusk.

Against Me! – Live in London!!! – Review

October 13, 2006

It doesn’t engulf you in 100+ degree body heat, hand you a beer, or put an arm around you. You can’t fit that in your car, so this is a good road trip record.

Shimmerplanet – For the One Who Kills Tomorrow – Review

October 13, 2006

Both beautifully orchestrated quirk-pop with a soaring female vocal, and a trip-hop and world music-inspired Morrissey drowning in over-clever verbosity.
