In your honour, Foo Fighters give you a full double album with one disc of typical ass-kicking Foo Fighters hard rockers and one disc of mellow acoustic songs. Two sides of a talented band are on display here and not a single moment below solid. The best of Foo Fighters? Not far from!

Come on! Feel the Illinoise! Some serious songwriting on display here. Lots of bittersweet melodies and beautiful orchestration behind some ridiculously long song titles. It's superambitious and Sufjan Stevens pulls it off. Bravo!

Strange buzzy feels to get from this summery, kinda scary, but ultimately comforting album. Yet another unique Animal Collective album!

Clap your hands say yeah for this album! Quality indie rock with nicely wacky vocals. Strangely comforting!

All answers lie within this album, which pretty much sums up how epic and profound it gets! Just look at the picture, in many ways it's as grand as but heavier than Pink Floyd.

This album is almost spiritual enough to bring new life to the listener. While all tracks here probably fall in some way under the new age umbrella, theres's still quite some variation from track to track. I especially recommend the title track, which is the kind of track that wouldn't be out of place on "The Dark Side of the Moon"!

How does a new age female songwriter-type of album with moments of pop rock sound like? It can sound like this. Not something extremely attention-grabbing, just pleassantly relaxed for something with actual lyrics and everything.

Not exactly a band you'd normally associate with something as dangerous as an alligator. However, the strong songwriting alone is enough to make this a beast of an album! Mostly their usual subdued melancholic rock, perhaps very slightly more energetic than the following albums.

Fire it up with endlessly bad-ass heavy metal. Besides one heartfelt ballad where you'll probably need a tissue, just crank up the volume to max and be blown away by pure testosterone!

Grouper sings/loops/reverbs her way through pretty, slightly creepy desolate places. Listen and perhaps black out a little!
