"Thank You For Today represents, what should be, a breath of fresh air for Death Cab - two new members in the fold. And if it's anything Death Cab needs at this moment in their career is some new wind. Though the loss of Chris Walla is often seen as a detriment to the band's future, it seemed that..."  [+]  Reply

"This was a slow burner for me as not what I expected. A different rendition from earlier albums with this being mellower, even folkier on a few tracks. This is due to the total absence of any guttural vocals but they still maintain their skilled music complexity. Decent; just took me a while to w..."  [+]  Reply

"Super sonic sounds delivered perfectly in a noisy, industrial and aggressive outfit from the Iceland-based Australian musician Ben Frost. The sweaty club-version of Tim Hecker's Virgins from last year. Whereas Tim Hecker's album was the lucid mist before the storm, this is the roaring storm. Lovi..."  [+]  Reply

Complete Madness 
Compilation
"One of the all time great compilations. Complete Madness, is perfect in the sense that it captures the band at their best and just before they started to slide.

"I searched online for bands similar to The Shins, and I feel like I've stumbled on something special. I've listened to two of their albums so far and it feels like I've discovered a buried treasure. Why have I never listened to them before? The name was vaguely familiar, most likely because I've ..."  [+]  Reply
