TS And Past Haunts - EP: No substitute for a new Piebald album, but far from terrible.
11.30.2010 | System Of A Down - Toxicity: Easily the best nu metal album I've ever heard. Still a few tracks too long. 11.29.2010 | Off - Four EPs: Fantastic early Black Flag. Go Rydell - The Golden Age: A bit more gravelly but an easy substitute for those missing Kid Dynamite. I know I am. Beatles - Decca Audition: Historically essential, but nothing more. 11.24.2010 | My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: Drops remaining pretense of being a punk band, opting for a pop album. And it's fantastic. 11.18.2010 | Jordaan Mason And Horse Museum - Divorce Lawyers: Obviously NMH inspired, but without any if the euphoria it's a tough listen. 11.17.2010 | Crazy Arm - Born To Ruin: Modern Against Me! without the arena-level hooks. 11.16.2010 | Kanye West - Beautiful Twisted Fantasy: Somewhere in the middle it lost me and was never able to recover. 11.02.2010 | Wovenhand - The Threshing Floor: Another solid album for fans of Califone. Tom Waits - Closing Time: Sometimes perfect execution can mask a lack of innovation. 11.01.2010 | Vampire Weekend - Contra: Epitome of a sophmore slump, failing to achieve any of the high water marks found on their debut. |
