Indestructible
Disturbed
Warner Brothers, 2008
Bringing the melody to hard rock.
Without a doubt, Disturbed has proven that heavy metal can be more then how fast you can play. Nowadays "heavy" music has degraded into speed metal which has no real rhythm, and a singer who can, at best, growl lyrics out.
Disturbed has put out what is probably ...

Weezer (Red Album) [Deluxe]
Weezer
Geffen Records, 2008
Go Deluxe
Weezer's latest effort is definitely a mixed bag, and saved by some outstanding tracks on the deluxe version. Not to say that none of the tracks of the standard album are good--"Pork and Beans" is a catchy number with a nice guitar hook, and "Dreaming" features some ...

Accelerate
R.E.M.
Warner Bros / Wea, 2008
Back from the dead.
R.E.M.: Accelerate - Welcome Back R.E.M.! Much like how; Aerosmith, Pearl Jam and Flamming Lips all had to reinvent themselves to become relevant again, R.E.M. must have reflected deeply upon their extensive library and decided to become rather vengeful, once again. ...

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
Jason Mraz
Atlantic, 2008
great CD
Again Jason Mraz delivers. Light, fun, original. My favorites are tracks #2 and #3. Admittedly the acoustic version of "I'm Yours" is better, but this isn't an acoustic album. Can't wait for the next one!

Narrow Stairs
Death Cab for Cutie
Atlantic, 2008
The Culmination
I'm pretty sure I own every DCFC recording. In this album I can hear pieces of all the others, even "Chords", arranged in the perfect package. Ben's lovelorn lament turned out to be the perfect catalyst for the culination of a lot of ideas they have shared with us ...

Nine Lives
Steve Winwood
Sony, 2008
So Nice
This is simply a great CD. More Traffic like than some of his recent CD's. Great musicianship as always, these tunes rock. They are longer songs which adds to the great feel of this CD. Simply great music!

3 Doors Down
3 Doors Down
Universal Records, 2008
There best work in a long time
The last 3DD album I enjoyed was Away from the Sun. It's been my favorite 3DD album up until this CD. I must admit though upon first listen I didn't like it I thought it was to soft to be a 3DD album but after the 3rd listen I was hooked and now I can't stop ...

In Rainbows
Radiohead
Ato Records / Red, 2008
Is it possible 231 reviewers before me could be wrong?
Not a chance! I read somewhere that RadioHead fans would blindly accept anything this band produced without any critical thought because they are so firm in their convicitions that this band has the Midas touch - not the muffler & brake guys. BTW this may be a fact - ...

The Odd Couple
Gnarls Barkley
Atlantic, 2008
Perfection
The Odd Couple is an excellent follow up to St. Elsewhere. The sounds are very poetic and uncompromisingly original. Cee-Lo's voice is unique and has certainley fueled the hypnotic appeal of the album. I can't stop playing it.Gnarls Barkley has to keep "Going On"

Keep It Simple
Van Morrison
Lost Highway, 2008
The best of the best
I have to say, I have come to realize this is one of my favorite albums of the year tied with Houston Marchman's - Naked The Best of Houston Marchman. Both are soooo good and I can listen to their voices over and over again and never get tired. Houston Marchman is ...

Snack Time
Barenaked Ladies
Desperation Records, 2008
Barenaked Groupie...
My kids love these guys, this CD has been playing on repeat in the car for two weeks. I even listen to it alone in the car - "Ninja's" has been stuck in my head for days now! The whole CD is catchy, clever and as well put together as any of their "grown-up" albums.

Weezer (Red Album)
Weezer
Geffen Records, 2008
You don't like it, you love it.
This album is super fun, edgy and experimental. There is certainly a wide range of songs here, definitely something for everyone. You may not like every song but the songs you do like you will LOVE.
Pork and Beans is catchy and is a "happy song" that you will ...
