Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

Not a bad record by any means, but I just find myself wanting to like it more than I do.

No More Shall We Part is the best album of 2001.

When all is said and done, the band seems happy to continue with the success that they have enjoyed so far.

Sam Beam is a poet, plain and simple.

While the group’s music may not take the heartbreak away, it sure makes it easier to take.

The expansion of their sound gives the Procession room to grow and breathe in previously impossible directions.

Compared to the celestial heights that Ágætis Byrjun strove for, ( ) feels remarkably restrained. But in its own way, far more ambitious.

An album that reminds me of why I loved, and continue to love, their music so much.

Some drone artists may encourage you to tune out and fade away but Charity Empressa’s music engages the listener.

Perfect and stunning.

This split EP is a tremendous change for Canary.

Gidaly’s not really like anyone else, but here she echoes Liz Phair.

The women who calls herself LadyBug plays a feisty, funky style of folk music.

Moore is far too intelligent a filmmaker to boil down such a complex issue to such a simple solution.

It is apparent that Coldplay have bravely invested some intelligence and effort into writing songs that grow with use.

A hugely disappointing as a follow up to Versus.

Mark Nelson is determined to minimize his albums’ accessibility as deliberately as he minimizes his sound.

These songs resemble a musical patchwork cloak, with influences stitched together from various sources.

Taking in “1957” is like listening to all of the schizophrenia of “1956” condensed into only half the time.

With obvious nods to groups like Vigilantes of Love, Over the Rhine, and Counting Crows, Set On Edge’s music has its base in rock n’ roll.
