| Beirut No No No | 4.0 |
| The album has a Latin American groove to it, that puts David Byrne's 'Rei Momo' in mind. Not a terrible album, but as it is a bit of a departure for Beirut, those who liked 'Gulag Orkestar' may be disappointed. |
| Bell X1 Blue Lights On the Runway | 4.0 |
| Those looking for more tunes like the Talking Heads-inspired 'Great Defector' may be disappointed, but the other nine songs on this album are magnificent in their own rights. |
| Bell X1 Bloodless Coup | 3.0 |
| Bell X1 Chop Chop | 4.0 |
| Beautiful album. Every song is simply arranged, with breathtaking lyrics. Paul Noonan's vocals are startling in their expressiveness. |
| Bell X1 Flock | 3.5 |
| Bell X1 Music In Mouth | 3.5 |
| Bell X1 Arms | 4.5 |
| After six albums ranging from good to mediocre, Noonan and co. have nailed the formula, their folk-electronica leanings and erudite, idiosyncratic lyricism to the best album of their nearly 20-year career. Tracks like 'Sons & Daughters', 'Take Your Sweet Time', and 'Fake Memory' combining catchy grooves and catching lyrics for a brilliant work. |
| Belle and Sebastian The Boy With the Arab Strap | 5.0 |
| An absolutely flawless collection of chamber pop strings and wistful vocals. |
| Belle and Sebastian Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant | 2.0 |
After the fantastic and flawless 'Boy with the Arab Strap', Belle & Sebastian craft a half-baked
followup with middling lyrics and unenthusiastic vocals. Closing songs 'Family Tree' and 'There's
Too Much Love' are the strongest tracks on the album, so why are they all the way in the back? Why
did we have to struggle through 9 middling songs to get to them? In 'Arab Strap', Murdoch's vocals
sounded delicate and wistful. On 'Fold Your Hands' they sound childish and grating. |

| With this album, Jerry Harrison demonstrates that David Byrne wasn't the sole creative force behind Talking Heads. Smooth, glassy funk music with a soulful group of backup singers and terrific guitar work by Talking Heads/King Crimson alum Adrian Belew make tracks like 'Slink' and 'Magic Hymie' worth listening to. |

Decent album. The tracks are solid, the execution is flawless. Not impressed with some of the
songs, but I really love the new version of 'In Your Eyes' and 'Mercy Street'. The question to ask
is, why make this album? Contractual Obligation? For the criminally procrastinating Gabriel, it's
something that unfortunately has been quite common since 2002's 'Up'. |

| A transition album between the Pixies bombast of 'Telefono' and the minimalistic post-punk of 'Girls Can Tell'. While leaning heavily towards 'Telefono' with frenzied cuts like 'Utilitarian' and 'Car Radio' checking in under two minutes, songs like 'Metal Detektor' and the Lafitte suite on the re-release give a glimpse as to the direction the band will take in the years to come. |

| This is an underrated album. "Nothing But Flowers", "Totally Nude", "Cool Water", "Ruby Dear", and "Blind" rank among their best songs. The only truly bad song on the album in the overwhelmingly awful "Facts of Life". With that aside, this is one of my favorite Talking Heads Albums. |

| 'Unbelievers', and 'Diane Young' are the two stand-out rockers on the album, while 'Step' and 'Ya Hey' are slow, mellow songs with baroque touches and funky rhythms. Last two songs 'Hudson' and 'Young Lions' are slightly unfulfilling closers, but the pros far outweigh the cons. |
