Gang Of Four – Return The Gift
:: Any fan of GoF needs to hear this immediately.
Sons And Daughters – The Repulsion Box
:: Not something that I would consider listening to everyday, though I can admire the talent and creativity that was required in making this record.
Moonlight Towers – Like You Were Never There
:: If this record came out right after Toad The West Sprocket disbanded, then we would be in business, but listen to the entire record since the softer songs towards the end are worthy of attention.
Story Of The Year – In The Wake Of Determination
:: Angry mobs of 7th grade members of the middle school band may have collaborated to write the lyrics to this record as it does not sound as if it was written by anyone with a certain minimum degree of song writing maturity and guitar prowess.
The Long Winters – Ultimatum EP
:: Don’t let the crits lead you to believe that since this record has some remote similarities to Coldplay’s efforts that you should label them as a wannabe and write them off as this EP will hold it’s own.
Altamont – The Monkees’ Uncle
:: We must be in the second wave of unlistenable irony metal, because I didn’t get the last one and will run effortlessly from this one.
65daysofstatic – One Time For All
:: I must be some sort of indie outsider considering this record would require large doses of ecstacy, neon twirlers, and lots of girls with nose and tit piercings to make this entertaining.
Ham1 – S/T
:: This is one of those records when hearing for the first time, I tell myself. “I’m going to have to listen to this one several times completely through before I can make a judgement on it since there’s a lot going on in it.”
Messer Chups – Crazy Price
:: Would be great for late night chic coffee bars that serve chocolate martinis and taps of mostly English ales, but for daily listening when you are alone, this is not the piece.
The Tah Dahs – Le Fun
:: There’s nothing groundbreaking by any means on this record, but for some strange reason I get the feeling it could be loads of fun for a late night crappy hour when the bars have all closed.
