The Mars Volta- Noctourniquet 8.5/10 Love it.
Rob Zombie- Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor 8/10 Great!
The Flaming Lips- The Terror 8/10 Awesome.
Ghost BC- Infestissumam - 8/10 Love it!

Love this album. Dissident is such an awesome track. Pearl Jam have carved out a nice spot in rock and roll history.

Dont know if I ever gave my thoughts on this album, but

Ronald Jenkees - Days Away 10/10

If this style of music is your thing, you absolutely can't go wrong with Jenkees.

Where 'Disorganized Fun' was all about the "solo", leading you through every song with a sick keyboard-shredding riff every time, Days Away is way more subtler than that. He really tries new things, the solo becomes more of a background noise while the rhythm and beat takes the lead. It's such a subtle album that it took a few listens before it clicked. Now, it's possibly my favorite thing he's put out.

If you're not aware of who Ronald Jenkees is, fucking YOUTUBE THAT SHIT GOD DAMN IT.

Sidetracked is possibly one of the sickest songs I've ever heard.

Really? all I heard was negativity, but thanks for this. I'm going to give this one a try.

Rob Zombie is sort of like Slayer. It's a fun "by the numbers" RZ album and I actually like solo Rob a bit more than White Zombie, so take that in mind.

I liked Hellbilly Deluxe 2 a lot. Educated Horses was my least favorite but still a pretty good album. But the new album has 2 ex-members from my favorite band so I might be a bit biased when judging it :cool:

I heard mixed reviews as well but I don't know what people expected from it.

Awesome. Have the same thoughts as you about Zombies solo career and I liked the single off the new album.

Bush- Sea of Memories 7/10

Surprisingly good. Most Bush albums have a couple good songs and the rest is forgettable. This is the first effort since Sixteen Stone that I've enjoyed all the way through.

Gil Shaham/Jian Wang/Berliner Philharmoniker/Claudio Abbado - Brahms: Violin Concerto and Double Concerto 8.5/10

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk 8/10

Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork 10/10

Wow, this is the best thing they have ever done. It is incredible. Never expected anything like this out of them. I mean, I love QOTSA and Josh Homme, but this is far different and better than anything I could have imagined him putting out with QOTSA.

Maxim Shostakovich/LSO - Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony 10 9/10

She & Him - Volume 3 6/10

Same ol' schtick. You expect an act to develop over a number of albums, but there has been no growth at all.

I have "hated" on Good News For People Who Love Bad News for years for no reason and I've just listened to it for the first time... I wish I listened to this when I was 15...

Fallout Boy- Save Rock and Roll 8/10

A return to form. Better than a return to form, really.

Belcea Quartet - Schubert: Late Chamber Music 8.5/10 (9/10 for his 14th String Quartet)

Heinrich Shiff/Maxim Shostakovich - Dmitri Shostakovich: Cello Concertos 1 and 2 8.5/10

Louise Williams and David Owen Norris - Viola Sonatas: Idylls and Bacchanals 9/10

"10" New Kids on the Block "8.5/10"

Tremendous album. Best boy band ever!

New kids on the block had a lot of hits. Chinese food makes me sick.

Chevelle - Hats off to the Bull 8/10
I'd say it is their best album since Wonder What's Next

Valery Gergiev/Kirov Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphonies 5 and 9 8.5/10

Killswitch Engage - Disarm the Descent 7/10

This is the only KsE album I have other than Alive or Just Breathing, which I bought around the time of its release. The record is solid, though not particularly "engaging," and I can't say I like it as much as the the previous album with Jesse Leach. I've never bought any of the albums with the other fella, as they sounded a bit too melodic for me.

Symphony 6 was their best. The DJ was on his game on that one.

Phil Collins: No Jacket Required 10/10 it has Sussudio and Take Me Home that they used on Saturday Night's Main Event in the 80s. Phil Collins > all

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism 6/10

I have to be in the right mood to listen to Death Cab or the chap's voice just irritates the hell out of me.

Clutch - Pure Rock Fury 7.5/10

Coalesce - Ox 7.5/10

Can't wait to hear Miley Cyrus's album

Fag.

Andrew Manze - The Art of the Violin (5 Cd boxset) 8/10

Black Sabbath - 13 - 9/10
Airbourne - Black Dog Barking - 8/10
Steel Panther - Feel the Steel - 8/10

Jay-Z - Magna Carta... Holy Grail 2/10

I really feel he should have stayed "retired" after "The Black Album"

Kuniko Kato - Cantus 7.5/10

It hasn't grabbed me the way her ...Plays Reich album did a couple of years ago. I'm sure it will grow on me over time.

Palms - Palms 7/10

I like it but nothing really stands out to me.

Phil Anselmo and the Illegals - Walk Through Exits Only 7.5/10
Machine Head - Through the Ashes of Empires 8/10
Kirov and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestras/Valery Gergiev - Shostakovich: Symphony No.7 "Leningrad" 7.5/10
Konstanty Kulka/Chee-Yun/Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra/Antoni Wit - Penderecki: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 8/10

The Dillinger Escpe Plan - One of Us is the Killer 8/10

I prefer it to the other Greg Puciato album that I have, Ire Works, but doesn't touch Calculating Infinity.

Boris Giltburg - Prokofiev: War Sonatas 8/10

Gil Shaham/Adele Anthony/Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra/Neeme Jarvi - Arvo Part: Tabula Rasa 9/10

Washed Out - Paracosm

10/10

Nick Kamen- Move Until We Fly 7.5/10

Really listening to a lot of his music lately, great artist, his song,"I Promised Myself", is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard.

Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake 8/10
Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir/Tallinn Chamber Orchestra/Tonu Kaljuste - Arvo Part: Te Deum 7.5/10
