Hold Steady - Teeth Dreams: Not even close to Boys & Girls In America.

Haim - Days Are Gone: Some really, really great tracks on here.

Green Day - Demolicios: Exactly what should have been released.

Gauge - II: Not as compelling as I, but worth a listen.

Jacco Gardner - Cabinet Of Curiosities: If you had told me this was a long-lost album from the 60s I would have believed you.

Foundation - Hang Your Head: Good, nearly-great, hardcore.

Flatbush Zombies - Better Off Dead: Rap group trying too hard.

Every Time I Die - Hot Damn!: Do not get the love.

Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP2: Most adventurous album from production standpoint.

Eleven Thirty-Four - Reality Filter: Too obscure for how good this is. Desperate vocals make it a classic.

Elbow - The Take Off And Landing Of Everything: Such a great, yet underrated, band that is beyond consistent.

Earth Crisis - Salvation of Innocents: One of, if not the most listenable of their albums.

Kevin Drew - Darlings: Too relaxed.

Deltron 3030 - Event II: Standing in a long shadow.

Del The Funky Homosapien - Iller Than Most: Mediocre.

Deerhunter - Monomania: Disappointing follow-up to a great album.

Death Grips - Government Plates: Sad they are no longer pushing boundaries like this.

Death - III: Not quite a cash grab, but on the border.
