| Many people thought this album was going to be The Devil And God pt. 2 and many people thought that Brand New would revert to their Deja Entendu ways. What Brand New has done is come out with a extremely grungy album, completely overdoing the soft and loud formula that they had perfected on their previous two albums. The lyrics on here are very average and just don't seem to have the meaning of the lyrics on The Devil And God. The instrumentation on this album is also very mediocre with all the songs seeming to blend together. It is just a very average record with no catchiness outside of a few tracks and a sound that wears the listener out. Listen to "Vices", "At The Bottom", and "Gasoline", and "Noro". Then don't bother with this. |

| Girls Father, Son, Holy Ghost | 5.0 |
| "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" is a definitive musical experience. While most musicians can only perfect one sound and in turn one song, Girls seem to have created a record that is as much a brief summary of modern music as it a superb album. The opening song "Honey Bunny" sounds like Beach Boyish 1960's pop, "Alex" sounds like Nirvana like apathetic grunge, "Just A Song" has a "Give Up The Ghost" kind of feel, "Die" is the simply complex metal song that most metal artists cannot even pull off, and "Vomit" is the culmination of all of these influences into one epic song. Owens uses his dysfunctional and unstable childhood and personal life to create a "historical" album that fans of just about any genre can relate to. And it seems like Girls will only get better with time. |

| Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion | 5.0 |
| One of the main complaints about Animal Collective is that their music is just "noise". I would have probably agreed with this assumption to an extent with their first few albums, which were very hard to listen to. On "Merriweather Post Pavillon" the band has reinvented themselves in a way where: all the beats are as repetitive and annoying, the choruses in each song are extremely catchy, and the lyrics even though they are strange fit the beats the band creates perfectly. The album is not overdone or overproduced and every song is very solid. One of the contenders for album of the year. |

| Say Anything find their sweet spot on their self titled album. While the first two albums almost try to over do themselves [mostly in a good way], this latest album seems to find the band settling down and maturing while still making excellent pop-punk. The hooks are still their, even though the swearing isn't, and the instrumental diversity first presented to us on "Baby Girl I'm A Blur" is even more present on this album. A cohesive collection of songs that doesn't make a classic album, but still makes a very memorable one. |

| Destroyer may not have created a classic album with "Kaputt" but they have created an album of musical and cultural improtance. The lyrics on here are so heartfelt, depressing, and beautiful and seem to perfectly define the struggling condition of Americans and humans in general. The lyrics and their meaning make the album seem more like a great novel and make Bejar sound like a poet who is a hit song away from being the voice of a generation. All of these things combined with gorgeous and original instrumentation, "Kaputt" is on track to be a classic album and one of the best albums of 2011. And if it is not both of those things it is at least damn important. |

| This isn't quite a perfect album, but it's a album that you feel like can change everything in its sheer simplicity. It gives you a feeling of a less beautiful more catchy "For Emma Forever Ago" and combines some of the best qualities of the most important Dylan albums. Overall this cannot be described as anything but a fascinating listen. |

| Cassino Kingprince | 5.0 |
| A very simplistic and brilliant album. A combination of everything that is great about folk music and everything that was great about Northstar. The songwriting is some of the best of the year, and the instrumentation creates a haunting atmosphere to acoustic guitar, which almost seems like a contradiction to most musicians. The maturity and growth is also apparent in the lengths of the songs, Northstar did not have over five minutes and twenty-four seconds, Kingprince has two songs almost over six minutes, half the album over four minutes, but the music never seems forced. Having such a simplistic epic album is sort of a major contradiction, but I guess having a punk-folk album be a contender for album of the year is too. Just a brilliant album by Cassino on so many levels. |

| fun. Aim and Ignite | 5.0 |
| I am convinced that "Aim and Ignite" is the album the Beach Boys and Queen always dreamed of making. Very theatrical, yet never forced, "Aim and Ignite" turns out to be one of the best albums of 2009. Even though their are obvious influences from 60's and 70's rock and opera, it is also combined with electronic influences which makes this album special. The songs are also extraordinarily catchy and are some of the most complete songs of the year. Fun. started out as just a side project, but with "Aim and Ignite" they might have released one of the more creative and innovative albums of 2009 |
| Islands Vapours | 3.5 |
| jj jj n° 2 | 4.0 |
| Northstar Pollyanna | 5.0 |
| Relient K Forget and Not Slow Down | 4.0 |
| A very catchy and mature album for Relient K. The album is actually somewhat original lyrically and instrumentally which helps separates this from their previous albums. Also this is more of a cohesive album, where their previous albums just sounded like eleven or twelve half hearted attempts to get on the charts. They take on serious issues lyrically, the instrumental work is better, and this leads to a dramatically improvement from Relient K. |
| Built to Spill There Is No Enemy | 4.5 |
| This is one of the most complete albums released in 2009. The albums flow is extremely good with each song going into the next perfectly. The bands style is very atmospheric, they do not force any major changes in the songs, and this means the lyrics and the vocals match the rhythm and beat of the instruments nicely. The album has many standout tracks and moments and is an absolute joy to listen to. |
| Bright Eyes Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground | 5.0 |
| When you think of Bright Eyes at his best what do you think? I personally think of: miserable, creative, sophisticated, unique, political, and free. These qualities are qualities that Oberst no longer possesses in his solo career, but all of these qualities were at their peak on "Lifted", one of the most epic indie/folk releases you will ever listen to. Oberst is miserable, creative, sophisticated, unique, political, and free on: "False Advertising", "Big Picture", "Let's Not Shit Ourselves", and "Don't Know When But A Days Gonna Come". On other tracks he just master one or two sides of the equation: on "You Will" he is miserable and romantic at the same time, on "Lover You Don't Have To Love" he is creative and unique, and on "Make War" he creates his best song of all time. I guess you can sum this album up in historical context and try to put its meaning in many words: but what it really is is Bright Eyes at his best. |
| Say Anything ...Is a Real Boy | 4.5 |
| Thrice Beggars | 4.0 |
| Miniature Tigers Tell It To The Volcano | 4.5 |
| A excellent full length by Miniature Tigers. The band has very clever lyrics and doesn't try to overdo their songs. The catchiness is also off the chart and the vocals match the instrumentation perfectly. The album lacks any instrumental creativity though as most the songs come out as just generic punk songs. Very solid debut album though. |

| Ryan Adams Cardinology | 4.0 |
| If Ryan's previous efforts were lacking any distinct quality it was defenitely consistency. Consistency is what Ryan lacked even on his best album, Gold, the high's were very high and the lows were very low. But on Cardinology, there is not a bad song. Ryan develops a very country and laid back style and this leads to a wildly sucessful and clever album. |
| Two Tongues Two Tongues | 4.0 |
| This is not nearly as bad of an album as people are saying it is. The vocals are harmonized to near perfection on the first few tracks, and these first songs are all very catchy. People say that the album tails off towards the end, but I think people need to listen to these songs again. "Alice" is haunting and probably has the best songwriting on the album, and "Even If You Don't" reminds listeners of some old school punk with its extremely emotional yet sarcastic chorus. Their are a few bad tracks, and the songwriting isn't that great but I still think this is a very impressive pop-punk album. |

| Ryan Adams almost creates a masterpiece with his 2001 record Gold. This album is not your usually pop-rock album because it covers all sorts of emotions: patriotism is conveyed in the opening song "New-York, New-York", the sappy love songs are all over the place with "Somehow, Someday, and Touch, Feel, And Lose" being the two promient songs. This is just a very creative work, and it is a great listen. |

| This is one of the best albums released in the new millennium. What makes this album superb is: the emotion Conor puts into his lyrics, and his great songwriting in general.

| Say Anything In Defense of the Genre | 5.0 |
| Max Bemis set up to make his dream double album that perfectly defined his life from ages twenty to twenty two. What he makes is what is probably going to go down as one of the most essential pop-punk albums of all-time. Twenty seven songs filled with extremely good guest vocalists, the pinnacle of Bemis songwriting, and no two songs that sound the same. In these three things alone Say Anything has created an album, wait a double album, that most pop-punk bands couldn't even fathomed creating. Every song on here is solid, and their are about ten that I cannot stop listening to. A classic album where Say Anything doesn't "defend their genre", they essentially "redefine it" with their quality of work. |
| 50 Cent Curtis | 3.5 |
| Cassino Sounds of Salvation | 4.5 |
| This album is a great listen, it combines elements of folk, pop punk, and just a straight up beautiful acoustic sound. It takes a while to grow on you, but after a ton of listens to this album it is almost a classic in my mind. "American Low", "Lolita", and "The Ice Factory" are highly recommended tracks, but really all of the songs deserve a listen. |
| The Beatles Please Please Me | 4.0 |
| The Beatles Abbey Road | 4.5 |
| The Beatles The Beatles | 4.5 |
| This is the best double album ever put together. There is really not a lot of bad songs on here; like there would be usually on a double album. Instead of pop princesses, The Beatles present themselves as rock gods on a few classic songs, and the album features beautiful acoustic guitar songs. With the band already having to release albums at a rapid rate and the dysfunction already going on in the band during the release, this is just an incredible album. |

All of The Beatles hits are great, but I would have loved to see some other Beatles music in here. This is still a great collection. |

| Senses Fail From the Depths of Dreams | 2.5 |
| Senses Fail Still Searching | 4.0 |
Senses Fail have improved themselves in all areas that were lacking in there full length debut, "Let It Enfold You". The singers voice is no longer annoying and the sound is varied in tracks. The album isn't as aggressive which may anger fans of there post-hardcore, it has drifted to more of a straight up punk sound.

| Forgive Durden Wonderland | 4.0 |
| Forgive Durden's opening EP is a more solid release than there full length, "Wonderland". "Wonderland", is filled with the sounds of From First To Last combined with Fall Out Boy which makes it post-hardcore and pop-punk excellence. But outside the first few tracks, this album is nothing but mediocre. |

| Nirvana MTV Unplugged in New York | 3.5 |
| Nirvana created possibly there most critically acclaimed album in "MTV Unplugged In New York", but besides "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" I really don't see the big fuss about this album. Nirvana do a few decent acoustic covers, but don't do enough of there own stuff to make this as enjoyable as it could be. |

| A Change Of Pace An Offer You Can't Refuse | 3.0 |
| Before drifting into a mainstream pop-punk sound, A Change Of Pace were a hardcore/screamo band that mixed with some pop-punk influences. There is a great variety of songs on "An Offer You Can't Refuse", Asleep At The Wheel shows the hardcore side, Chippie is a song that shows there pop-punk side. A overall stout offering. |

| Brand New Deja Entendu | 4.5 |
| Deja Entendu could be one of the 1st 21st century classic pop-punk albums, but it is not sure of what it wants to be. Does it want to be hard rocking soft-loud formula album? Or does it want to be a soft acoustic love song album? This album provides a nice collection of songs but all the acoustic songs sound alike and all the hard songs have a soft loud formula. Expect a new "Brand New" on their next release. |

| Northstar The Uncomfortable Camera (DVD) | 4.0 |
| Northstar are one of my favorite rock groups. There songwriting and just the flat out catchiness of there songs can win any fan over. But how would all this good stuff transfer live? It's is a breathtaking experience, Northstar's performance of "Two Zero Two" and "Broken Parachute" are memorable. |
