It's the weirdest thing ever, but music just gets tedious to listen to. I don't know how I used to snap out of this strange funk before, but now Transatlanticism has become my go-to record in these times of distress. Something about the gentle instrumentation and Ben Gibbard's beautiful lyricism invokes a deep appreciation of music in me that lets me regain that spark. This is easily my least-listened to 5, because I'm scared this will lose its rejuvenation superpowers if it loses the freshness it has (I've given this at most 30 listens), but there's no doubt in my mind that Transatlanticism is an easy 5.Edward Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85Is this the greatest piece of music ever? Maybe, just maybe.Glassjaw Everything You Ever Wanted To Know AboutIgor Stravinsky Le Sacre du printempsJimmy Eat World FuturesJoe Hisaishi Spirited AwayBest movie ever. Soundtrack is magnificent, though I've only heard a select few songs without the movie.Johann Pachelbel Canon and Gigue in DKashiwa Daisuke Program Music ILudwig van Beethoven Two Piano Sonatas, Op. 27Literally, is there anything more iconic than Moonlight Sonata? Listening to this on Lake Lucurne (from where Moonlight Sonata's name owes its existence) is just surreal. I was only ten when it happened and I still remember thinking how perfect the title was.Mikhail Glinka La SeparationI don't care what anyone says. This will always be my favorite piano piece to play.Nobuo Uematsu Final Fantasy IX: Original SoundtrackBasically my favorite Final Fantasy. Some critics have given it unfavorable reviews (relatively speaking, for a Uematsu composition). I disagree wholeheartedly. The main theme of "Melody of Life" is not the greatest song (kind of sounds like a J-Pop ballad or something), but its echoing in various places (e.g., the field map song) is nicely done. The songs really compliment the mood of the game. Hell, I can argue that "You're Not Alone" singlehandedly gives the scene in Pandemonium its emotional tug. Likewise, Beatrix's Theme really conveyed her mixed feelings towards her duties and what she really should be doing. For the classically-trained instrumentalists, it's pretty cool how Uematsu incorporates Les Folies d'Espagne/ La Folia (depending on the composer) from the Baroque period into songs such as "Vamo Alla Flamenco" and "Black Mage Village." The Boss Battle Theme is the most adrenaline-pumping song I've personally heard in a video game, and even the battle theme was quite good, getting stale only after a few hundred listens. All in all, awesome soundtrack to an awesome game.Pokemon 2BA MastaRed Innocence and InstinctHonestly, if I listened to Innocent and Instinct now, I probably wouldn't give it a 5. However, it's still a fantastic, extremely well-crafted mainstream rock album. The riffs are tight and crunchy, shown in the punchy 'Fight Inside' and rocking 'Death of Me.' 'Out From Under' has enough edginess to make up for the sheen of the bulk of the album, which contains perfectly executed midtempo songs. Not often do you see a band ambitious enough to have the music mirror the lyrics, but that's exactly what 'Start Again' does, as the metaphorical rebirth of the instrumentation reflects the lyrics of the chorus. 'Mystery of You' and 'Never Be the Same' have catchy choruses, that while not unique, are extremely pleasant. And 'Shadows' manages to reconcile all the previously listed strengths with a monster guitar riff and fantastic chorus. Likewise, the spiritual lyrics are all inspired and passionate. Overall, though the album probably suffers from not being terribly unique, Innocence and Instinct is a fantastic mainstream rock album.Stars of the Lid And Their Refinement Of The DeclineThe World is a Beautiful Place And...

The gorgeous swirling arpeggios of the title track perfectly create images of waves, as one would expect. From Dietro l'incanto onwards, Le Onde really hits its stride, constantly throwing gorgeous melodies at the listener, including a surprising amount of ornamentation in Onde Corto. Ultimately, though Le Onde is not without its faults---an understated beginning section and a surprisingly loud and disruptive left hand on some tracks such as the title track---Le Onde is a fantastic release that would serve as an excellent precursor for Einaudi's later works.M83 Hurry Up, We're DreamingModest Mouse Good News For People Who Love Bad NewsMount Eerie Clear MoonMuse Origin of SymmetryMuse Black Holes and RevelationsMy Chemical Romance The Black ParadeOneRepublic NativePavement Slanted and EnchantedPink Floyd The WallPixies DoolittlePorcupine Tree In AbsentiaPortugal.

I was supposed to hate this album. Everything you released before the album rwas shit, and then you churn up cool songs like 'Animals'? Anyways, this album is quite a rstep up from The Resistance. It's easy to find flaws with how derivative (from Queen rparticularly), how cheesy, how bombastic, and how messy the album is. If you go into the ralbum with an overcritical eye expecting shit, you will hear shit. Personally, I had no rexpectations for this album but wanted to like it. And guess what? I liked it. A song like rthe divisive 'Panic Station' is clear proof to the fact. The song is by no means fantastic. rThere are several flaws with how cheesy the "funk" or whatever is. However, it's catchy, and rI truly think if you want to enjoy the song, you can do it. In this way, it's similar to rsomething like One Direction, which perhaps is evidence for how far Muse has fallen. rNevertheless, for me at least, Muse manages success in places where I expected none.My Bloody Valentine LovelessOf Monsters and Men My Head is an AnimalPassion Pit GossamerReal Estate DaysRed Until We Have FacesThis really varies from being remarkable (and regretfully) average to disappointing but still good.

Here you go. Take uninteresting melodies, extend them to ridiculous lengths with no real sense of direction, and augment them with elaborate, unnecessary, though characteristically baroque ornamentation, and you have Vivaldi's so-called masterpiece. The exception is Winter, which is great. It does not, however, make up for the other three seasons' banality.Breaking Benjamin Shallow Bay: The Best Of Breaking BenjaminChevelle Hats Off to the BullEvanescence The Open DoorFiona Apple The Idler Wheel...Green Day NimrodJapandroids Post-NothingJimmy Eat World Chase This LightJoyce Manor Joyce ManorLinkin Park Living ThingsI wanted to like this. I really did. There are tracks I genuinely enjoy, but LP manages to fuck everything up. 'Lost in the Echo' was a great track with one of my favorite intros by the band, but for some reason they ruin that fantastic melody with screams. I wouldn't say that LP were good song-writers in their prime, but they knew how to construct a good pop song (Numb, In the End, Breaking the Habit, even What I've Done) and keep the screams and more 'nu-metal' elements in the harder songs (like 'Faint'). In their attempt to throw back to their old style, the band adds in screams and raps, but it's not done as tastefully. 'Lies Greed Misery' absolutely kills any flow the album had for me. The chorus of 'Burn It Down' sounds too much like the band was going for a hit instead of making it appropriate to the (very good) verses. Ultimately, this is an album that had potential to be good, on par with Meteora at the least. Unfortunately the result was unmemorable and messy.Mae (a)fternoonMasashi Hamauzu Final Fantasy XIIIMatt and Kim GrandMatthew Good Band Beautiful MidnightNeutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the SeaNevertheless Live Like We're AliveNew Heights New HeightsNirvana NevermindParamore ParamorePillar ConfessionsRelient K Five Score and Seven Years AgoSaves the Day In ReverieSaves the Day DaybreakSimple Plan Simple PlanSkillet CollideStaind 14 Shades Of GreyStaind Chapter VThe Airborne Toxic Event The Airborne Toxic EventThe Dear Hunter MigrantThe Decemberists The King Is DeadThe Killers Battle BornThe Killers Day & AgeThree Days Grace Three Days GraceTyphoon Hunger and ThirstYiruma First LoveOnce upon a time, a 17 year old pianist, perhaps disillusioned with simply memorizing without understanding some of the complex piano masterpieces of history, discovered that some piano compositions can be as expressive and free as, say, pop music, or at the least freed from the chains of technicality and complexity. Unfortunately, like most gateway albums tend to be, his album of choice---Yiruma's First Love---was, in reality, a plain release, one that he tried to sell on Sputnikmusic as a 4 even though he probably only liked a few of the tracks anyways. Such is the inspiration behind the review of such an inconsistent album. Hooks are scattered about on First Love, and Yiruma frustratingly milks them through repetition, such as in the infamous 'River Flows in You.' It's not an awful record but it's definitely forgettable. - A 19 year old pianist. 2.0 poor3 Doors Down 3 Doors Downblink-182 NeighborhoodsCrossfade CrossfadeDeas Vail Deas VailDeath Cab for Cutie Codes and KeysFaith No More Angel DustJimmy Eat World InventedKeane StrangelandLinkin Park Minutes To MidnightLinkin Park A Thousand SunsMumford and Sons Sigh No MoreMuse The ResistanceNickelback All the Right Reasonsdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrdoesnt compare to the effort in your red or death cab for cutie soundoffsrPanic!
