John Mayer wins the battle once again with Battle Studies by Monnie1976 Pros: Excellent guitar, songwriting and vocals.
Cons: Can't think of any. It’s been three long years since John Mayer dropped his widely acclaimed, wildly successful album Continuum so I definitely was interested earlier this month when I saw he would be releasing his fourth album Battle Studies this month. Rhapsody ...

Slayer's Best Since Divine Intervention by bloodymadness Pros: Great songwriting
strong riffs and leads solid drumming Cons: Hate Worldwide Production may turn some off In the metal community, when a new Slayer record is released the heavy metal world stands still. All guitars are dropped, screaming vocals abruptly end and drums comes to a halt. Slayer is one of only a handful of bands that has so much prominence in the ...

Typical rock album... Drugs, Sex, and Love by bumpsetspike Pros: catchy tunes, songs to rock out to as well as chill to
Cons: some unoriginal ideas, typical drugs and sex theme overdone, not much a variety My boyfriend bought me this album, Dark Horse, as we are both fans of Nickelback. After listening to these songs multiple times each, I think I have been able to form a decent opinion of it. It is not a bad album, I would say it's mediocre. It's ...

Owl City Soothes and Seduces with Ocean Eyes by MattBjorke Pros: Relaxing electronic sonic textures and soothing vocals help build a solid foundation.
Cons: Can be a bit monochromatic at times. Having taken the pop music world by storm with the charming (or irritating) "Fireflies," Owl City started out -much like Foo Fighters, Rocket Summer and other bands- as the work of a singular figure, in this case Minnesota-based ...

They're B-ah-ah-ck! Switchfoot Returns with inspired album by MattBjorke Pros: Switchfoot returns with a record that is a passionate rival to The Beautiful Letdown.
Cons: The band cribs some of the sounds from their influences more than before. After taking some time off from after the release of 2006's Oh! Gravity to work side projects like Fiction Family Alt-rockers Switchfoot have resurfaced on a new record label. Having moved from Sony's Columbia to Atlantic ...

I'm in love with your cheek by GregRadiohead Pros: A good little EP for those dying for new material
Cons: Not really essential If this decade has, for the mainstream anyway, been the decline of the album--due to digital music stores, the ease of piracy, or the way we listen to music nowadays--then it has also seen the resurgence of the single as a viable artistic venue. Since ...

His body will decay by GregRadiohead Pros: An excellent EP with material not available elsewhere
Cons: None I have the habit of thinking of bands as a linear progression or story, with a very clear evolution or path toward or away from something. While I probably have forced this structure where it doesn't belong, it seems like more often than not it ...

My god that's not the way by GregRadiohead Pros: An excellent EP with outtakes and guests
Cons: Not truly essential Friend may be referred to officially as an EP, but it's a dubious designation for two reasons. One, it clocks in at 43 minutes, which is longer than full albums by a lot of bands. The other reason is that three of the tracks are actually covers of ...

Atmospheric Sounds of Love by Air by thevoid99 Pros: Production, Arrangements, Instrumentations, Instrumentals, & Vocals.
Cons: Not as Innovative or Consistent as Previous Efforts. With French music getting attention thanks to the likes of Phoenix, Daft Punk, and Sebastian Tellier. The electronic duo Air is among those to help bring in the new wave of French pop since the late 1990s with their 1998 seminal debut album Moon ...

Defines the era by jasonajohnson  Pros: Excellent attention to detail. Nice mix of electronic styles. This album defines the time.
Cons: None. I got Daft Punk's Discovery for the same reason so many of my peers did, as we were impressed with their freshman album, "Homework". That, and "One More Time", the single, was growing quite popular in clubs at the time. Discovery was released in ...

The Sun Certainly Sets on Twilight by ssjakira1 Pros: Skilled music
Cons: Uninspiring (to me), very little diversity Though I've not reviewed a soundtrack by Carter Burwell before, I've seen his name around plenty of times. Enough to know it when I spotted it. Surprisingly enough, I was referred to this soundtrack by a friend, whose musical tastes are a far ...

SMOOTH JAZZ WITH A LIGHT GROOVE by mike.holmes Pros: Pretty, smooth jazz with some groovy parts
Cons: Not enough passion for me, too few solos by fellow musicians Steven Eugene Grove uses the stage name Euge Groove for his brand of smooth jazz saxophone playing. Born in Oregon in 1962, Groove didn't record his first album as a leader until 2000. He has worked with Joe Cocker, Tina Turner and Tower of ...

Sainthood, by Tegan and Sara by cdm72 Pros: "Hell" and "Northshore"
Cons: Uninspired, just not up to the standards set by the previous 2 records. I came pretty late to the Tegan and Sara party; they’d been making music nearly a decade when I first discovered them. I came in after the release of their masterpiece, 2007’s THE CON. Their usual method was to space their records ...

Michael Jackson's This Is It Soundtrack - Is It Worth It? by roheblius Pros: Some cool demos

Looking for Musical GOLD? Seriously. by criteeker Pros: Miles Davis + John Lee Hooker + Taj Mahal et al = blended magic.
Cons: It ended and left me wanting much more. The soundtrack to the "The Hot Spot" is pure magic. Why? Two names: John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis. The legendary musicians Hooker and Davis never recorded an actual record together and that's a travesty. It's a ...

"Why then has all my life made no sound?"...Because your lyrics make no sense, Pete. by beekd91 Pros: Typical Chevelle: melodic hard rock with amazing vocals and addicting riffs.
Cons: As good as typical Chevelle may be, it's still typical. The lyrics border on nonsensical. Chevelle has had a fairly interesting progression over the years, especially considering how much of a disaster Point #1 was. I (and a good chunk of America) fell in love with their next album, ...

Fun and Lively Cannonball by poojalooba_cow Pros: Fun, lively, energetic recording of the Cannonball Quintet at its best.
Cons: The booze-loosened crowd makes some pretty annoying noise and claps along with the music. Cannonball Adderley's most popular album was not actually recorded "Live at the Club" (the Club DeLisa in Chicago), as the cover says. It was recorded at Capitol Records' Hollywood Studio with an invited audience supplied with free booze. ...
