Arctic Monkeys- Humbug
Arctic Monkeys. Where do I begin this one? Four young lads from Sheffield that stole our hearts and had us put on our dancing shoes with their debut album. The now mature guys come back after much growth and give us “Humbug.” Arctic Monkeys took the British music scene by storm in 2005 with hit after hit from “Whatever They Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.” Now,...

Modest Mouse- No One's First, And You're Next
Long time lyrical geniuses are back with their much anticipated EP “No One’s First and You’re Next.” That’s right, it’s no one other than Washington rockers Modest Mouse. After announcing that they would be releasing an EP comprised of tracks that didn’t make it into their previous two albums, Modest Mouse fans were struck with excitement and impatience....

The Dead Weather- Horehound
What’s there that Jack White can’t do? Fly, possibly? And even that I’m not sure of. White is back with another project that can easily be labeled as hot, passionate, and rough blues sex music. He teams up with the Kills frontvixen Alison Mosshart, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita, and Raconteurs pal Jack Lawrence to form The Dead Weather. And what else to expect...

Phoenix- Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
The French. They’ve given us plenty of good things. The Statue of Liberty. And. Well. Yeah. Daft Punk, Justice and Cocoon. Phoenix have officially added their names to the list(omania) with their newest record, “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.” There’s been a lot of hype over Phoenix and their Frenchy indie rock. Plus, after a title like that, giving a nudge to Mozart, the guys must deliver. And they...

Tortoise- Beacons of Ancestorship
For nearly two decades, Tortoise has been making music and there seems to be no signs of stopping. They’re keeping alive a genre which doesn’t appeal to many: Instrumental. After not releasing anything new for five years, the guys from Chicago come back with the eleven track album, “Beacons of Ancestorship.”
Even though they’ve been around, this is the first time I’ve ever listened to them or...

Green Day- 21st Century Breakdown
The anti-political, politically charged musicians are back. Yes. I mean Green Day. After insulting America and its beloved president (Sarcasm, maybe?), the American punk-rock trio is back with their anticipated new album, “21st Century Breakdown.” The cover is very “Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge” by My Chemical Romance. There are a few notable tracks in this album but too bad a few isn’t enough...

IAMX- Kingdom of Welcome Addiction
Sneaker Pimps’ Chris Corner is back again with his solo project, IAMX. “Kingdom of Welcome Addiction” is his third studio album to date, following 2006’s “The Alternative.” He gained some buzz with “Missile” from his debut album and “President” from his last one, garnering him a sort-of cult following. His sexually riddled lyrics, heart-pouring vocals and electrifying garb make him different and...

The Mars Volta- Octahedron
The Mars Volta come back from ‘Bedlam’ and deliver us “Octahedron”. An eight track album full of beautiful melodies and amazingly raw heartfelt emotion. The name “Octahedron”, I feel, shows the eight faces of the album. Each face being a track. Talking strictly album titles, this album tops “Amputechture” for best name. Simply put, you will either love or hate this album. If you loved “The...

Empire of the Sun- Walking on a Dream
Australian duo, Empire of the Sun’s debut album, “Walking On A Dream” is a lovely musical journey from start to finish. They have already made it onto international charts with their single of the same title. The album opens with the upcoming single, “Standing on the Shore”. When the vocals kick in, it sounds like Wolfmother’s Andrew Stockdale(minus the vibrato). Do all Aussies sing like that?...
