Finally listened to the whole thing. 9/10

That was the first album I ever bought with my own money.
I was listening to it at the gym while working out and it got me super pumped. It is quite saddening to see how much Metallica's music has changed. Lots of kick ass tracks that really get you pumped up and ready for action. The production could be a bit better tho..

score: 9/10
favorite tracks: Whiplash, The Four Horsemen and Phantom Lord.

She & Him - Volume 2

7/10

Really? I actually thought it was pretty good, but oh well, to each his own.

Bullet for my Valentine - Fever

8/10

Not as good Overall as their last album. But I would say it's equally as good as their first.

Gotta check this out. Love Godsmack

Band of Horses new album. 6/10

Not as good as the second album but still better than most indie rock out there.

Sum 41 - Underclass Hero

Fucking great album, 9/10.

It ventures back to their punk sound as opposed to hardcore which the previous two albums were. However, dealing with the same issues that I very much relate to. Finding worth, dealing with feeling little or no ambition because of the world around you and the cards you've been dealt, having little faith in people and the government, etc.

I did also have a chance to pick up the new Godsmack album, The Oracle.

It was ok, I've followed Godsmack forever and have liked all their stuff. They've never changed. That's cool because they stay true to their sound, but it might not be so good because unless you really know, you can't tell which songs are from which album.

I'll give it a 7/10, average. When I was in high school I would have given it a 9/10 but I observe their music a little differently now as my musical taste has begun to define itself.

9/10

Cage - Depart From Me: 8/10

Good album from Cage, although as a whole, I prefered "Hell's Winter". Standout track is "Fat Kids Need An Anthem", but this is an album I can easily listen to all the way without skipping a song.

Sage Francis - Li(f)e: 7/10

Sage is probably my favorite rapper, but I feel this album is not up to par with his last two. The beats are less catchy, the lyrics didn't get my attention as much, something seems "off" with it. It's not bad by any mean, as it is still good enough to keep, and maybe it'll grow on me eventually, but he's done better.

^ I haven't heard that album but I like Cage, mostly his old stuff but Hell's Winter was alright.

This get's a 7.5, I need to listen to it a few more times.

Placebo-Meds

8/10

Boston: Self-titled

10/10

It starts off with the world's greatest song. and the whole album is fucking classic.

That song is pretty fucking great.

wolf parade - expo 86 8.5/10
foals - total life forever 8/10
joanna newsom - have one on me 9/10
band of horses - infinite arms 7/10

Didn't know Jeff Hardy was in a metal band!

Jeff Hardy is into a lot of shit.

Patsy Cline - Walkin' after midnight

8/10

Compilation album of her material from Four Star Records (includes her first album). Who doesn't like Patsy?

Dave Matthews Band - Everyday

7/10

Not their best work, but not a bad album.

Robert Randolph and the Family bnd - Live at the Wetlands

9/10

The xx- 9/10

Kingdom of Sorrow- Behind the Blackest Tears: 10/10.

Fucking Heavy as hell.

Dave Matthews Band - Big King and Gruugox band....whatever the CD is called. 7/10. I'm quite surprised since I never really listened to DMB, I actually liked it alot.

The Black Keys - Brothers

9/10

Pretty awesome. Don't like all of the songs, but a large portion of them are 'fucking awesome', which makes me inclined to give this album an almost perfect 9 out of 10. Am new to The Black Keys, and I've heard some of their older stuff, but this is the first album that I listened to all the way through and it was pretty incredible.

The Black Keys - Thickfreaness

10/10

Fuckin love these guys now. This CD is solid, and really grungy/dirty sounding, while still maintaining the singer's soulful voice.

The Replacements - Tim

8/10

Not as good as Let it be, but still better than alot of the shite around today.

Eminem - Recovery

6.5/10

Frightened Rabbit - The Winter Of Mixed Drinks

10/10

The fullness that somewhat lacked on their 2 previous records was totally filled this time around. Great flowing songs that have pretty great lyrics. Their "single" Swim Until You Can't See Land is good enough and everything around it is equal or better. Nice and rare in the indie world to find a full COMPLETE good album with no filler at all.

Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King

http://vox2.cdn.amiestreet.com/album...56t4x_full.jpg

Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger.

8/10
Pretty good to put on when doing something, not as good when listening deep into it imo.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
10/10

Fucking can't stop listening to this

Eminem - Recovery - 7/10

Way better than Relapse or Encore, probably on par in Eminem Show but still not as good as MMLP

Vampire Weekend - Contra - 9.5/10

One of the most creative and consistent albums released this year.

The Offspring - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace - 9/10.

I love Offspring. I think they should try doing a cover of Cult's Fire Woman. I think Dexter could pull it off.

Kevin Rowland and Dexy's Midnight Runners - Too-rye-ay

8/10

Groove Armada - Blacklight 9.5/10. Love the synths.

Rasputina - Sister Kinderhook

8/10

Another strong album from Melora and Co. Lyrically, it is stronger than Oh Perilous World, which suffered from lyrics that felt quite stilted at times. Musically, I think more interesting than they have done in quite awhile. Arrangement-wise, they have stripped all the recorders, dulcimers and pianos from the previous album; and kept just clean cellos, the occasional banjo, and the appearance of a erhu on one track. With the exception of one brief appearance, they have got rid of the distorted cellos, which was quite a surprise.

I think the only other person who listens to Rasputina on this board is WWKD, but all should listen to the cello-rific goodness.
