Review: The Good Life - Album Of The Year:

Upon first listen there were enough tracks that I liked that I'm looking forward to listening to it again. There weren't however, enough tracks that I liked to recommend it just yet.

    Review: Blood on the Wall - Awesomer:

    Upon first listen I wish they would settle on what type of band they want to be. If I wanted to listen to an album of various artists, I would.

    Review: Michael Ian Black - I Am A Wonderful Man:

    Upon first listen I knew before listenting I would likely find myself annoyed by some of his antics. And I was right. But I laughed a lot more than I was annoyed. A lot more.

    Review: Merle Haggard - Hag's Christmas:

    Review: Kottonmouth Kings - Greatest Highs:

    Upon first listen this was a very frustrating set of songs (two discs, almost forty tracks). A seldom few are any good and the rest alternate between novelty rap and terrible.

    Review: Radiohead - Airbag/How Am I Driving?:

    Upon first listen I likely wouldn't remove any of the tracks from OK Computer for any of these, but it's a wonderful compliment to an already-outstanding album.

    Review: The Weakerthans - Left And Leaving:

    Upon first listen I'm not exactly how to categorize this album, but if you're a fan of Piebald or The Mountain Goats (or both), then this is for you (and me).

    Review: Various - Stereogum.com Presents...Drive XV:

    Upon first listen it helps that I'm not so familiar with the source material as I enjoyed this album more than both of the two Radiohead ones.

    Review: Kenotia - You've Dug Your Grave, Now Lie In It:

    Upon first listen this female-fronted band is poppy and catchy like a thousand other emo-type bands but still manages to rock while not coming off as cheesy like a thousand other emo-type bands.
