Day And Age

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: The Killers

Release Date November 24, 2008
I think that "The Killers" will always be recognizable because the lead singer has a unique voice. I realize that "The Killers" like any other band try to start experimenting with things after a few albums have been put out. I rank this album above "Sam's Town" which was just brutal, and below "Hot Fuss" because I think "Hot Fuss" was and still is their top album. Like the song "Somebody Told Me" sold the "Hot Fuss" album the song "Human" is going to sell the "Day & Age" album. A lot of the songs on this particular Killers album I found to be the band trying to come out with a charismatic & heartfelt album of songs. But I think a : album, but then again, it might take a few more albums before that happens. All in all its not bad, but ... Read More:

Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: Neil Young

Release Date December 02, 2008
Don't get fooled into this if you want a concert c.d/d.v.d. package...the d.v.d. contains nothing but music, there is no concert footage; "very disapointing"...the trailer does tease you with some future possabilities of footage; that would be nice...if it were just a c.d. I would give 5 stars; but as a package it's not worthy!!!

Fleet Foxes

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: Fleet Foxes

Release Date June 03, 2008
Fleet Foxes may have a firm grasp on rock and folk history, but they never play to their record collection. Rather than revive a particular scene or re-create a lost sound, the Seattle quintet cherrypick their ideas from a broad spectrum of styles, pulling in Appalachian folk, classic rock, AM country, and SoCal pop to create a personal synthesis of the music of their peers, their parents, and even their grandparents.

The band didn't leave town to record Fleet Foxes, yet it sounds like it could have been recorded anywhere in the United States-- Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago, Brooklyn, Louisville, or more likely some clearing in the woods. That placelessness constitutes an active effacement, considering that Seattle has been a locus for alternative music ... Read More:

Promise

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: Il Divo

Release Date November 18, 2008
If I had listened to Il Divo's latest offering before purchasing, I wouldn't have!...the voices, as always, are terrific but these renditions fail to tug at the heart strings...the last cut, Amazing Grace, is the only song I found memorable - the addition of bagpipes is a lovely touch and thankfully, it is performed in English!

Only By The Night

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: Kings of Leon

Release Date September 23, 2008
I'm partial to the Southern jams and uptempo stuff that kicked off our relationship. These guys were breath of fresh air pickled with twang and moonshine when they launched Holy Roller Novocaine. This was a great start.

These boys were not content to rest idle on the twang groove... they step to new styles with each new album, and they do so with unmatched competence. Now - I'm not a fan loyal to a specific sound, I'm loyal to the talent and to the imagination they bring to the sounds they choose to explore.

If you're looking for Molly's Chambers, Knocked Up, My Party, Four Kicks, or California Waiting, you're definitely going to be disappointed. There are elements of those tunes on this album, but these elements don't define the experience. ... Read More:

Snacktime

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Rock
by: Barenaked Ladies

Release Date May 06, 2008
I picked up this ablum for my 3 year old daughter right before a car trip. The first time through I forgot that it was "her" music and not mine. I've always loved the BNL's sound, and the lyrics on this album, while geared for kids, alternate between humerous, ironic and touching. I wasn't sure that it was "kiddie" enough for my daughter--no syrupy-sweet voices, the lyrics are funny but fast, so you've got to be listening pretty hard to really catch all of them.

Anyhow, three months later this CD is still the one played for every trip in our van. My daughter chants "seven-eight-nine" as we start each trip, and asks to hold the little book with the lyrics so she can turn the pages and look at the pictures which go with each song. She always requests a double play ... Read More:
