Review: Neil Young - Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968:
Upon first listen it's not as good as Massey Hall, but it's another nice addition to Young's collection.

Review: Chad VanGaalen - Soft Airplane:
Upon first listen I'm surprised at how much I didn't like this. I've been doing a much better job at screening artists to ensure some level of enjoyability, but this one flew a little under that radar.

Review: Spiritualized - Songs In A & E:
Upon first listen I never was able to get into Spiritualized during my infatuation with post-rock. Their name came up all over the place, but it never struck a chord with me. Well, I'm paying attention now.

Review: Paint It Black - New Lexicon:
Upon first listen there seems to exist a disconnect between the vocals and the music. Live, I'm sure this is one killer set of songs.

Review: My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges:
Upon first listen it's perfectly fine arena rock - and I'm sure it's awesome live - but it's also a little schizophrenic. I mean, Highly Suspicious is a long-lost Talking Heads track and has no business on the album.

Review: The Mountain Goats - Satanic Messiah:
Upon first listen I was expecting something a little heavier, with a bit more crunch. Instead, I got some more awesome songs from Mr. Darnielle.

Review: Ida Maria - Fortress 'round My Heart:
Upon first listen I love the quirky songwriting and odd-timed deliveries, but much like the Dresden Dolls, she takes it a bit too far at times.
