"Woot!"

"Here's an album that will grow on you..." more

"Here's an album that will grow on you with repeated listens. Plasticities and Heretics are especially great. Plus, Andrew Bird is a professional whistler, so how can you go wrong?" less

"Laika is a great song to drive and sh..." more

"Laika is a great song to drive and shout to. Pretty much every other song on this album is great, too." less

"Awesome awesome awesome. I don't know..." more

"Awesome awesome awesome. I don't know what else to say. This is my pick for best album of 2006.

"Maybe you've been saying to yourself,..." more

"Maybe you've been saying to yourself, "Gee, I really wanna get into Neo-Balkan type music but I don't know where to start." Well, look no further!" less

"The best of all the Belle and Sebasti..." more

"The best of all the Belle and Sebastian albums I've heard so far. Low key and British. Listen to Expectations and you should be hooked." less

"For some reason this album sounds bet..." more

"For some reason this album sounds better if you listen to it all together in context. Good stuff!

"Bright Eyes is on Emusic now? Hurrah!"

"Short lived side project by Conor Obe..." more

"Short lived side project by Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes fame. Nice angry album about the homogenization and over-materialization of America..." less

"You gotta be in the right mood for th..." more

"You gotta be in the right mood for this one, but there are really some brilliant, soul-jarring moments on this post-rock album. And it's only four download credits. C'mon, you can't beat that!" less

"Hopefully I shouldn't have to explain..." more

"Hopefully I shouldn't have to explain why this is good. Get antics, too." less

"If you like Pete Yorn, you should giv..." more

"If you like Pete Yorn, you should give this a spin." less

"I can't say enough good stuff about M..." more

"I can't say enough good stuff about M. Ward. I think he's pretty brilliant. He manages to sound like he just dropped out of a 1932 dust bowl radio hall while still retaining a "I've never heard anything like this before" feel. You should also get Post-War and the Transfiguration of Vincent." less

"Even if you're not a fan of Spanish m..." more

"Even if you're not a fan of Spanish music, you will like this CD. You will like or else I will come to your house and punch you in the face." less

"Super-duper legendary album. Yeah, th..." more

"Super-duper legendary album. Yeah, that's right, I said it. If this album isn't in your collection, it can only be for two reasons: 1. You don't know about it yet, or 2. You are a kitten drowning Nazi." less

"No other album feels more like a wet ..." more

"No other album feels more like a wet autumn day or the dead of winter to me than this one." less

"The Underdog is a really really great..." more

"The Underdog is a really really great song. The rest of the album is pretty good as well." less

"Try it once and if you don't like it ..." more

"Try it once and if you don't like it you can quit." less

"I actually wasn't a big fan of Ghosts..." more

"I actually wasn't a big fan of Ghosts of the Great Highway (except for the song Carry Me Ohio), but I really love all these songs. They're all Modest Mouse covers, but done very softly, almost like lullabies." less

"My wife says the lead singer sounds l..." more

"My wife says the lead singer sounds like Bert, but never mind that. This is the best album about an abusive parent you'll ever hear. I never get tired of listening to this." less

"Boxer got more attention, and you sho..." more

"Boxer got more attention, and you should get that too, but I think Alligator is an equally great album. Actually, I like it a little better than Boxer." less

"Of course you should probably get any..." more

"Of course you should probably get anything by the Pixies." less
