A surprisingly good effort after a long streak of unimpressive garbage. This album returns to The Mars Volta's musician ship and story telling but without any stand out songs and weak lyrics (Omar needs to write the lyrics again) it brings the rating down.

Maps and Atlases have sure polished up their song writing and their vocal melodies. I love the quirkiness of this band and their instruments are still excellent. I do miss the guitar wankery and all their over technicality, they did it really well. This is an excellent EP and a step up from Trees, Swallows, Houses. Get this if you like them, this will not make you like them if you didn't like their other EP.

This is like a very well thought out version of De Facto, but better. Emotional and catchy. The tempos and time signatures really give it a feeling of either happy, sad, jumpy etc. Every song has a very unique face and it is all very pleasing to the ear. Excellent.

Coheed and Cambria No World for Tomorrow3.5
Radiohead In Rainbows4.5
This album really is as good Kid A, and better than OK Computer, but not as good as Hail to the Thief. That did not come as a surprise because HttT is one of the best albums out there. The way the album starts out is a big step for Radiohead, they mastered the heavy rhythm based song. The rest of the album mirrors HttT in a prominently different way. Being more up tempo and consistent than it, it starts and flows well to the end. The best song on the album is either Bodysnatchers or Jigsaw Falling Into Place. Pick this up if you like Radiohead! It's free!

*shels Sea of the Dying Dhow4.5
I really love this band and all that they have compiled into this album. From the soft Indian (1 and 2) to the harder Sea
of the Dying Dhow it is a real change from the more chaotic Tera Melos and Mars Volta i am digging right now. The
bonus track (i guess it is bonus) In Dead Palm Fields really makes my day when I listen to it, it's easily one of the most
climactic songs I've ever heard.

Pure Reason Revolution The Dark Third4.0
The harmonies in this album are a real breath of fresh air, the use of different instruments and atmospherics really give a wall of sound feel and a beautiful album a monstrous sense of emotion. There is nothing really offensive to the ear but they could have cut some of the song lengths down and made them jump into it faster like "Asleep Under Eiderdown" which is my favourite song. And even better, this is their DEBUT!
Thom Yorke The Eraser3.5
With a type of Kid A and Hail to the Thief feel, but more sweet and sour, he incorperates textures and volume into this album making it seem a lot more sophisticated than O.K., Computer but just the same direction -- different. If he had made something that sounds just like Radiohead, it wouldn't really be solo, just a cover, per se. But he made his experiance as a DJ very clear and his vocal talents also very clear. As his experimentation shows, electronica can be a lot more than techno *cough* repeatitive! *cough*.
This album deserves more credit than a lot of people are giving it, with its experimentation, it stands out in the music field where Rap is dying, and punk/emo is an uprising. Bravo... better yet, encore!

Tokyo Police Club A Lesson in Crime2.5
This EP is a very well thought out Indie experiment, meant for memory and fun it is a great thing to listen to if you are waiting for something or just want to be cheared up. I would like to hope they don't and won't rush their album(s)! The Tokyo Police Club is a must pay attention to in 2007.

Sam Roberts Band Chemical City4.5
Coming at you with full throttle is Sam and the gang to give an influential and thought provoking album. Throwing walls of sound and music this band gave more than 100% for this, we all see the talent they posses and this shows just the little they have claimed. The next albums will be more powerful and more emotional in an extended and open way.

The Mars Volta Scab Dates3.0
This is a great live album, although alot of people will turn away from it because of the jams and random parts, it really shows what a band like TMV can really do when they have to jam. Cicatriz and its parts are really well played, and I love the sped up version of Concertina, but they really do have to get away from playing things leaning towards a-tonal, because come on... a-tonal is pretty hard to accomplish and when you do you don't wanna be listening to it for 3 or 4 minutes on end! The fills and intros/outros like that are what makes TMV who they are, but melody and rhythem are really well made when they give it a shot.
Hope they release a Frances the Mute version of Live on DVD!

Again the Mars Volta make a huge turn around in their sound with more dynamics and flowing violins outlining this masterpeice. This album still has the impact it did when it came out as it does now, allowing itself to be presented as a story or opera. Lets hope that we can see an improvement from Amputecture with a more orchestrated feel for their albums.

Bullet for My Valentine Bullet For My Valentine EP2.5
Where i am this EP is named "Hand of Blood". Although it is really whiny at some parts the screaming and harmonic guitar is really a pick-me-up. It gets the entire album a jump start and makes it perfect for before event pump ups. This really needs to be thought more of when thinking of BFMV.

This album made 2001 for me really (excluding De-loused in the Comatorium.) It is perfectly performed and mixed. This album gives you a band that has an edge and kanck for Alternative, the next highlight in rock history. With the up and coming demise of Rap and Hip Hop, Lover/fighter will hopefully shine through and be pumped around North America. Good job, guys!

This album really shows how far they could have gone if they stayed together. Cedric probably would have moved to the King Crimson singing and Omar would have started more psychadelia so they would have broken in to TMV and Sparta. This album actually sounds like it would break up a band because of its amount of diversity from their other albums. Let's give a last hurrah for At the Drive-in!
