Favorite track(s):
Disc 1: I Don't Believe in the Sun, All My Little Words, Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits, I Think I Need a New Heart, Parades Go By
Disc 2: Grand Canyon, No One Will Ever Love You, Washington D.C., Papa Was a Rodeo
Disc 3: I'm Sorry I Love You, The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure, I Can't Touch You Anymore,

There are highs and lows, but it certainly isn't a strong argument for anybody else for follow suit.

Rated 10/10

Favorite track(s): The Modern Age, Soma, Barely Legal, Someday, Last Nite, Hard to Explain, New York City Cops

After all my moaning about indie bands on this list, we finally get to the one that got it right. Is that hypocritical of me? Maybe.

Favorite track(s): Hate to Say I Told You So

A bit more entertaining than some similar albums on this list, but certainly not new favourite band material.

The BandThe Band

Rated 8/10

Favorite track(s): Across the Great Divide, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up on Cripple Creek, Look Out Cleveland, King Harvest (Has Surely Come)

Favorite track(s): they all sound the same.

Just because your production sounds like shit doesn't turn your band into The Stooges. Back to the Seven Nation Army covers, guys.

Beautiful Freakeels

Rated 2/10

Favorite track(s): It's a bit of deviation from the typical indie mill because the lyrics were so bad that I felt truly angry at points. Get me back to the Clone High theme song ASAP.
