The Odd Couple
Gnarls Barkley
Atlantic, 2008
"Is it possible you were hurting worse than me?"
Gnarls Barkley's second album is a good step forward for the duo. It's not what I'd call better than their debut, but it's hard to say it's worse, and it's definitely more focused. It's not quite as fun, but it's still plenty entertaining. There aren't any crazy ...

Sunshine Lies
Matthew Sweet
Shout Factory, 2008
Sunshine Lies sound sweet.
I got "Sunshine Lies" today, and have already given it two loud listens. It reminds me of Blue Sky on Mars (Matthew plays everything but drums on every track, and he's a GREAT bass player), Altered Beast or 100% Fun (mostly up-tempo, hard-edged stuff), and touches of ...

Sasha
Global Underground UK, 2008
He finally did it -- breathtaking
I think it's time to finally crown this guy the master of the form.
After what I felt was a slump starting with Airdrawndagger (though I've appreciated his 21st-century efforts, they felt cold compared to his earlier discs), here is where it all comes together.

Shwayze
Shwayze
Geffen Records, 2008
Best CD to chill to...
When I say chill, I mean smoke a certain something. The music is so great, it flows so well, the lyrics are funny yet intellectual.
BUY IT! DO IT!
Cisco's voice is the icing on the cake.
:)
My favorite is "Buzzin", its, in my opinion, the chillest song.
BUY ...

Here Come The 123s [CD/DVD]
They Might Be Giants
Disney, 2008
Great CD! My 3 year old loves it!
TMBG did a great job of making learning about numbers fun! These guys are great. We were introduced to them through the snippets at the Disney channel and the zero song and then we followed the podcasts. My 3 year old can identify numbers and talks about the numbers ...

I have been anxiously anticipating the remastering of this album forever and when I heard last spring that it would be coming out this Fall I could barely contain myself.
I rushed out to buy it on Tuesday and I cannot stop listening to it. The remastering of this ...

Hot Fuss
The Killers
Island, 2004
An Excellent Album if You Like Modern Brit/Pop/Synth Rock
The Killers first release "Hot Fuss" was extremely refreshing among the over-abundance of alternative/pop/rock bands lately like The Strokes, The Vines, Bush, etc. that all sound the same. So at first listen of the Killers "Hot Fuss" I was in love. While the sound is ...
