Various - Real Pirate Radio
While it might be little more than a mix CD, if you aren't bogged down by a certain genre and want to find something new and exciting, the quality of the material here definitely makes the album worth purchasing. Brainlove, the underground salutes you.»
Kate Bush - Aerial
Some may argue that the album's lack of change from previous material represents a lack of effort, but 'Aerial' is timeless.»
Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way
The main problem with this track, the fourth single (or eleventh if you count re-releases) from their debut album, is that its depressingly average. Its not bad in essence, but it has nothing to hook you and make you want to actively listen to it.»
My Morning Jacket - Z
My Morning Jacket have created a reverb-soaked masterpiece that floats above the boundaries of genres, gracefully taking notes from country, soul, disco, space rock and anything else under the evening sun.»

Kanye West - Late Registration
Many things have changed since Kanye West's critically acclaimed College Dropout, with Kanye's political statements becoming as notorious as his music. But will this, his second record, be enough to silence the doubters and prove that his music can hold the weight of his success?»
The Jim Muir Slideshow - Tomorrows world, today. Now

The Adam Brown - Hungrythirsty EP
If these guys and their brand of effortlessly cool synth rock are the head of another wave of great upcoming Canadian bands then we are in for a treat.»
Oceansize - Heaven Alive
This isn't the sound of a band running out of ideas, but a band choosing the wrong ones, which ultimately is a lot more disappointing.»
The Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You
While The Magic Numbers live show melts the heart with the raise of a voice and a single strum of a guitar this single misses the mark by a considerable amount»
Xiu Xiu - La Foret
Easy listening this amn’t, but if you want a rollercoaster ride into deep recessions and to be thrilled by the sounds that surround you, then this could be the perfect album for you.»
Idiot Pilot - To Buy A Gun EP
Idiotpilot themselves are a great contrast; a band suitable for both chin-stroking and restoring your faith in new music.»
