ARCHITECTS – Keys to the Building

Keys to the Building is about as annoying as a CD could be. Now this album came out back in 2004, so this couldn’t be [...]

BEAT BEAT BEAT – Living in the Future

Living in the Future is an inappropriate name for Atlanta’s Beat Beat Beat’s debut album — by the time it is the future we will [...]

reviewed by Melissa Koh

BLEUBIRD – rip u$a (the birdfleu)

Echoing effects are used in five out of 12 songs in this album, which basically sums it up. You’ll pick out nice moments of self-awareness, [...]

BURNING SKIES – Desolation
reviewed by Jenny Carter

BURNING SKIES – Desolation

This is pure, unbridled metal from beginning to end! I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything this heavy or memorable within this genre come out [...]

CHEESEBURGER – S/T

Joe Bradley of Cheeseburger shouts in track one, “I got a funny idea, oh yeah/we’re going to make it real, oh yeah.” Oh Yeah? Oh [...]

COPELAND – Eat, Sleep, Repeat

It’s a problem that has plagued songwriters since the advent of the recording industry: what do you do when you want to mature your sound [...]

reviewed by Jenny Carter

DEAD HEARTS – Bitter Verses

reviewed by Sean Lambert

ENVY ON THE COAST – S/T

This kind of sound could be popular with your Panic at the Disco crowd, full of catchy little hooks and overly breathy, whiny lead vocals. [...]

reviewed by Nate Pollard

GORILLAZ – Slow Boat to Hades

If you are at all familiar with the Gorillaz mythos, then I’m about to preach to the choir. For everyone else, the Gorillaz have a [...]

THE GRANNIES – Gum Job
reviewed by Neal Page

THE GRANNIES – Gum Job

This is not a very good record. The lyrics aren’t very interesting. The songs don’t offer up much either. I think the album art is [...]

THE HEART ATTACKS – Hellbound and Heartless
reviewed by Ryan Brosmer

THE HEART ATTACKS – Hellbound and Heartless

The first thing that needs to be said about this CD is that it was produced by Lars Frederiksen from Rancid. That should basically say [...]

INTO ETERNITY – The Scattering of Ashes
reviewed by Dr. Heid

INTO ETERNITY – The Scattering of Ashes
