| Battles Mirrored | 5.0 |
| Best described as Dream Theater at summer camp, The Battles release 'Mirrored' will go down as one of the innovative greats. This CD is and never will be accessible. It is a difficult listen and will leave one a little grated. However, this is exactly what ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier, ex-Don Caballero guitarist Ian Williams, ex-Lynch guitarist Dave Knopka, and Tyondai Braxton intended. The albums starts off with an eclectic and polyrhythmic Race:In and rushes the listener through a sea of discordance and technicality. One of the innovative techniques used by vocalist Tyondai Braxton is that of vocal sampling. Most noticeably in the song Atlas. The vocals come off somewhat similarly to a dwarf from Snow White. The guitar playing is unique and boxy. Both guitarists regular use hammer-ons with their left hand and simultaneously play the same melody on a keyboard with their right hand. The album is innovative beyond its years and will take a little time for the listener to become oriented with its multiple complexities. Like many classics that take awhile to fully digest, Mirrored will eventually go down as an album that shapes the music of the future. |

| Jeremy Enigk World Waits | 5.0 |
| In a world where most music receives critical acclaim only if the guitarist can write riffs that are mind-bending and extremely technical, Jeremy Enigk shows off his chops as a songwriter. While almost anyone can write a catchy riff, the art of writing a beautiful and complete song is arguably ten times more difficult. Every phrase, note, and rhythm must be taken under intense scrutiny in order to produce something truly masterful. World Waits gives off this exact fragrant aroma. The piano, acoustic guitar, drums, and vocals in this album are interwoven into something that can truly be classified as more than just a song, it is an idea, a way of life, a portion of who Jeremy Enigk is, what he believes, and what he wishes to be. This album is truly classic. |

| Simply stunning in its simplicity, the Swell Season is an album that is pure butter to one's ears. The harmony is soft and ethereal and it gently glides over sparse instrumentation. The string arrangements are marvelous and a beautiful counterpoint to Glen Hansard's singer-songwriting prowess. These compositions are beautiful and Hansard is well-deserving of the Oscar he won. |

| Five Iron Frenzy Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo | 5.0 |
| This album is fantastic in so far as it blends beautiful melodic vocal passages over a polyphonic instrumentation. Reece Ropers vocals have a majestic air to them in songs like 'Far, Far Away,' 'Farsighted,' and 'Eulogy.' The drumming is straight-forward but nevertheless a rock solid backbone. The guitar playing is decently simple but exceedingly intricate while the horn sections produce welcomed accents. Despite songs like 'Pre-Ex-Girlfriend,' 'Plan B,' and 'You Can't Handle This,' the album is lyrically much darker than previous Five Iron releases. Arguably this album is the paradigmatic Five Iron Frenzy release. |
