Andrew W.K. – Who Knows? – Review

September 9, 2006

This is this man’s deepest and most sincere expression of himself. It just so happens that he’s also able to write arena rock songs that cannot be refused.

Zero 7 – The Garden – Review

September 1, 2006

Greatly reducing the rich, sleek, and bottom-end heavy production approach of their past work, the duo have turned in a slightly retro and more uptempo record.

Grave – As Rapture Comes – Review

September 1, 2006

The quartet ups the anger ante, adding a handful of honest to god blastbeats to the repertoire in an effort to liven things up. For the most part, it works.

The Delgados – The Complete BBC Peel Sessions – Review

September 1, 2006

Compiles the Scottish quartet’s appearances on the famed British program, from their infancy (a bit rough around the edges) through their refined later years.

August 25, 2006

These guys have pretty much perfected the art of Americana rock. The hooks are HUGE and tasty, the execution top-notch, and the attitude down-to-earth.

Goldfrapp – Supernature – Review

August 25, 2006

Goldfrapp were able to create a luscious universe without resorting to cheap 4/4 disco beats, but on Supernature, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything but.

Flying High Again – World’s Greatest Tribute To Ozzy Osbourne – Review

August 18, 2006

I’ve held onto Bat Head Soup for the cover of “Mr. Crowley” which opens that CD as well as this one. Ripper Owens and Yngwie Malmsteen are both amazing.

The Twilight Singers – Powder Burns – Review

August 18, 2006

Every trait of Greg Dulli’s has awoken from their substance-induced slumber, exploding and propelling themselves all over the songs, staying within good taste.

The Never – Antarctica – Review

August 18, 2006

A quartet out of Chapel Hill, NC led by guitarist/vocalist Noah Smith and pianist/composer Ari Picker. The two have been collaborators since childhood.
