| Several of the best rock songs to enjoy significant airplay in the late 2000s and earliest 2010s - including one of the very best pop crossover smashes of the time period - can be found on this one album, and yet in several cases the deep cuts are even better than the radio hits. Here Brent Smith and company strike a tightrope balance of beauty, aggression (relative to genre), catchiness, and songwriting craft. |

| The Antlers In the Attic of the Universe |
| Most humble concept album ever created? This is a gorgeous, contemplative work that manages to simultaneously feel as big as the open sky and yet as small as a fenced-off backyard. It's the aural equivalent of standing in that backyard on a winter night while gazing into that starry sky, pondering the questions of our existence in such a vast universe with the curiosity of an eager child. The music maintains a sense of youthful abandon throughout the record, playfully jumping between different shades of indie/folk, but somehow it flows inexplicably well; the album feels less like its 8 songs, and more like 2 multi-part small-scale epics. In the Attic of the Universe reminds me of how fascinated I was with exploring the world around me when I was little (a fascination which has thankfully remained intact over the years); it makes me feel like a kid again, and that's one of the highest compliments I can give to a work of art. |

| Decided to give this a listen after falling in love with lead single "Eyesore," and I'm pleased to say that Red Right Return met my expectations. Janus are indeed catchy like mainstream giants Creed and Nickelback, however what gives them an edge over either band is their technicality, which sees its height in "Eyesore" and "Skin Deep." Overall, Red Right Return has a well-deserved upper hand against any mainstream brethren it may have. Favorite tracks: "Maybe Its You," "Eyesore," and "100 Years." |

The sky was the limit for these instrumentals.
Each musical landscape is smooth, sexy, jazzy,
and deceptively intricate. The songs are
generally quite short, which lends this album a
vignette-like charm. Unfortunately, Dirty Bird's
lazy-sounding lyrics and delivery occasionally
bring the experience to territory close to
uncomfortable, with a few songs bordering on
soundtrack material for bad pornos.
Still, there is some gold to be found here
(especially "Cartz 3"), and the fusion of tech
house and acid jazz with rap elements yields an
intriguing concoction with considerable
potential. Do give it a fair shot. |
