Crystal Castles' Crystal Castles (II) ** - Good but I prefer their first album. Drake's Thank Me Later *** - Soul rap? Ruminative but groovin'. Yes, another Minaj appearance. Mark Ronson & The Business Intl's Record Collection *** - This album genre-hops more than any album I remember but you're glued the whole time. Surfer Blood's Astro Coast *** - I feel like this may be an album I'll be listening to over and over again come spring and summer. A poppy and sunnier Sonic Youth. Superchunk's Majesty Shredding **** - 41 minutes of pure indie rock. No messin' around. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' The Brutalist Bricks *** - Ted Leo's back at it again, fierce as always. Teenage Fanclub's Shadow **** - Big Star's influence is obvious. And in the best of ways. Listen to "When I Still Have Thee." Titus Andronicus' The Monitor **** - With numerous Civil War references, perhaps referring to our current nation divided, this is Bright Eyes songwriting combined with Arcade Fire's power. Fantastic. Two Door Cinema Club's Tourist History *** - A cross between Death Cab for Cutie and Phoenix and indie-pop that's just as good.
