| Zodiac A Bit of Devil | 4.0 |
| Zodiac's debut, A Bit of Devil, is an accomplished slab of 70's style hard rock. Featuring Long Distance Calling's drummer on percussion duties, and a guitarist who can pull off ZZ Top's Blue Jean Blues, this is not one to be missed by fans of the 70's rock revival. |

| Quest for Fire's debut isn't a special affair, but does show some promise that would later come to be realized on their sophomore effort Lights from Paradise. Still, this is a decent album worth the listen. |

| Steven Wilson Grace for Drowning | 4.0 |
| With Grace for Drowning, Wilson has created his best album in five years; the clever song-writing, infusion of jazz fusion, and top-notch performances leave little left to be desired. An album-of-the-year contender to be reckoned with. |
| The Mars Volta Frances the Mute | 4.5 |
| Long Arm The Branches | 4.0 |
| Opeth Damnation | 4.5 |
| Opeth Deliverance | 4.0 |
| Opeth Heritage | 2.0 |
| An exercise in nonsensical song structures and excess. This album is a disjointed, horrid mess. |
| Steely Dan Two Against Nature | 4.0 |

| "Kill a cop, kill a cop, kill a cop, kill a cop, kill a cop" ~ actual lyrics on this album |
| Tyler, the Creator Goblin | 2.5 |
| An inconsistent mix of great tracks, forgettable songs, and horribly failed experiments. When it's good, it's phenomenal--see the word-work on "Tron Cat," but songs such as "Radicals" prevent this from being a great album, which is a shame, because if Tyler could trim the fat and keep the "Yonkers" he'd make one hell of an album. |
| Al Di Meola World Sinfonia III: The Grande Passion | 4.5 |
| Phideaux Snowtorch | 4.0 |
| Easily Phideaux's best album yet. This is expertly crafted progressive rock--paying tribute to the greats of the seventies while sounding modern and invigorating. I highly recommend this. |

| Perfect blending of the previous two records. This album truly feels like a consistent, cohesive whole. Now, if only Saviour wasn't on it. |

| Bonobo Black Sands | 4.0 |
| Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues | 4.0 |
| "Helplessness Blues" is much more varied--albeit less immediate and catchy--than the previous album, and it is the better album for it. This is a natural next step for the band, and a graceful one at that. |
| Blackfield Welcome To My DNA | 2.5 |
| Do not come into this album expecting Steven Wilson's midas touch; nearly all of the music here has been written by Aviv Geffen, and it shows. |
| dredg Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy | 1.0 |
| It's a shame--tragic, even. El Cielo was a magnificent album, and it seemed that this band was destined for great things. Unfortunately, the only great thing this band has acheived since then is a great, embarassing fall into mediocrity. All creativity, integrity, and inspiration this band once had has been effectively snuffed out of existence. The lyrics to "Sanzen" now have a bitter irony to them: "The pen ink is running dry, it's been thrown to paper and wasted, creavity has been blocked and over tasted." Maybe in time dredg will re-appreciate it. |
