Blue October
Album review by on 2011-08-22

Blue October makes an eye opening progressive rock album, fusing everything from classic rock to hip-hop in what amounts to a refreshing change of pace for the band after six studio albums.
Phaeleh
Album review by on 2011-08-22

With The Cold In You Phaeleh continues to refine and enhance his craft with an EP full of drugged out bliss and wandering isolation
Carthage
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2011-08-21

The album Tre Watson was itching to make on Death of a Monarch, Carthage's self-titled debut is loaded with majestic guitar playing, groovy bass leads, and exuberant drumming that is certainly worth a listen.
So Long Forgotten
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2011-08-16

Powerful and emotionally moving (post) rock with thoughtful and poetic lyrics. And they're a Christian band? Wait, that doesn't add up. Where's that one I forgot to carry?
YOB
Album review by on 2011-08-16

YOB go through their unique and highly addictive motions.
Simple Plan
Album review by on 2011-08-15

Shut up shut up shut up!
The Roots
Album review by on 2011-08-14

A message of hope.
An Autumn
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-08-11

An Autumn for Crippled Children's second album shows them brightening up the horizons.
Hey Marseilles
Album review by on 2011-08-09

Honest and charming indie-pop, from a green hillside in the spring…
Michelle Branch
Album review by Trey on 2011-08-08

What did Michelle Branch’s music sound like before the major labels found her? It turns out that she was just a girl that enjoyed playing mellow folk-influenced rock and she was pretty good at it.
Unearth
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-08-08

If it’s not broken, there is no need to fix it.
The National
Album review by on 2011-08-06

One of the greatest bands of our time unceremoniously drops their strongest record to date, almost as if it wasn’t a huge deal.
Trivium
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-08-04

A solid release that is overshadowed by Trivium's previous work.
O.A.R.
Album review by on 2011-08-02

Epic, towering, and completely artificial.
Cold Driven
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-08-02

“My kingdom come, take you one by one”
Embryo (ITA)
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-07-31

Embryo gives us melodic death metal, solid, safe and enjoyable.
The Milk Carton Kids
Album review by on 2011-07-25

Beauty may be in the ear of the beholder, but some albums are just easier to love than others. This is one of them.
Sepultura
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-07-25

The heavy metal pioneers bring back some of their former glory on Kairos.
Machinedrum
Album review by on 2011-07-25

A mixed batch of bedroom club beats lacking in inspiration reveals Machinedrum at a crossroads, looking back but by no means moving forward
Jenny O.
Album review by on 2011-07-24

Acquire this EP. Listen to Jenny sing. Feel good.
Bomb the Music Industry!
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2011-07-23

I can't complain.
Marina
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-07-22

with her debut, Marina has made it abundantly clear that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the realm of pop, threatening to potentially steal the spotlight in coming years.
311
Album review by on 2011-07-20

If this truly is the “universal pulse”, then I think it’s safe to say that we’re all about to die.
And Hell Followed With
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-07-19

It’s an unspectacular deathcore debut album with ideas as stale as the genre itself.
Belle and Sebastian
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-07-18

Nashville Suicide Mission
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-07-18

The progressive math metal heads are building a steady fan base from their self-recorded, self-promoted and self-produced debut effort and all for the right reasons.
