Once I listened to the Viva La Vida CD, I went back and purchased all of Coldplay's previous albums. This is one truly awesome!

Conor Oberst

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Conor Oberst

Release Date August 05, 2008
But the quality of Oberst's music and lyrics has gone seriously down hill the past few years. Not to say this is an absolutely horrible album, but the guy is clearly capable of better than is delievered here.

Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Sigur Ros

Release Date June 24, 2008
3 1/2

Starting off briskly, the majestic quartet's up-tempo pop dabblings seem to have not hindered the new album at all, which includes something for everyone. Though they revisit their trademark sonic buildups and offer humble acoustic contrast, a certain balance just does not seem to have been struck in the track sequencing, tapering off in the final stretch, and often sounding like a collection of quite good b-sides instead of their latest release.

Loyalty to Loyalty

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Cold War Kids

Release Date September 23, 2008
The Cold War Kids first album, Cowards, showed me that new music does not always suck.

That said, this is a review for Loyalty to Loyalty. I appreciate the lyrics, diversity and lack of conformity of this album, however I find it hard to listem to. It feels likes it's caught between worlds, pop, art, poetry,...I support any artitst desire to experiment, grow and try different things, but for me this album just did not grab me like their first effort. While it would be hard for any band to match a debut album like "Cowards," this one did not even come close for me.

Juno

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date January 08, 2008
This is a fun soundtrack that evokes the feeling of the movie...an interesting mix of music with a quirky twist and airy feel. Many of the tunes have a folksy feel, but there's also a couple of good classics (the Kinks, Mott the Hoople, Buddy Holly) to balance it out. I happen to adore the opening credits tune (Barry Polisar's All I Want Is You) as it brings back childhood memories of other hilarious Polisar tunes like "Don't Stick Your Finger Up Your Nose" and "Early Sunday Morning" :-) If you enjoyed the movie, it's easy to enjoy the soundtrack even if many of the tunes aren't ones you might normally choose (at least that was the case with me).

The Stand Ins

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Okkervil River

Release Date September 09, 2008
Great album. "Singer Songwriter," "Pop Lies," and (the single) "Lost Coastlines" are three of the best songs I've heard this year. There is something so interesting about Will Sheff's song writing style and vocal stylings. I find the "Stand Ins" instrumental tracks sort of awkward. "Blue Tulips" and "Bruce Wayne" are definitely not two of my favorite songs. But all is forgotten because the other songs are so strong and unique. Okkervil River is definitely one of those bands more people should know about...

Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date September 23, 2008
While this Cd is lacking some awesome songs from the movie it still has a lot of great music on it. I do suggest testing out the songs and listening to each one because this music is not for everyone.

Evil Urges

CD-Charts > Music > Indie and Lo-Fi
by: My Morning Jacket

Release Date June 10, 2008
"Evil Urges" by My Morning Jacket includes "Look At You", "Good Intentions" and "I'm Amazed" and has been acclaimed in some critical circles. The group has become involved in the 2008 Presidential Race - Interestingly, in 2008, Senator Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in American history (hillaryclintonforum, the denver group)
