Hiatus
Busy week at work. Listening to Jello Biafra's spoken world albums. Will review in batches in one shot instead of individually.

Review: Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown:
Upon first listen it's obvious they're trying too hard.
Upon further consideration I just can't get past the copious amounts of autotune.

Review: Beirut - March of the Zapotec/Holland:
Upon first listen I was anxious for new music from Zach Condon, but both of these EPs fail to live up to my expectations (the electronic Holland half in particular).

Review: Dan Auerbach - Keep It Hid:
Upon first listen it shows that the blues are alive and well. Probably forever, too.

Review: And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - The Century of Self:

Review: Alert - Demo:
Upon first listen it's pretty decent hardcore with poor recording/production. I'll be interested to see what they do in a real studio.

Review: Akron Family - Set 'em Wild, Set 'em Free:
Upon first listen it starts off really strong, but by track five or six it lost me.

Review: 1990s - Kicks:
Upon first listen I am thoroughly confused why I was so excited for this album. I really enjoyed Cookies (though it's been a while since I've last listened) and this was just terrible.

Review: 7 Seconds - Walk Together, Rock Together:
Upon first listen it's obvious they were influenced by Minor Threat and that is never a bad thing.
