The review for Anchor & Braille's second release, The
Quiet Life. Overall it has it's high
moments that will stick with any listener, but it ends with the feeling of
wishing there was more meat. Not a bad
album by any stretch, but somehow not what could have been another triumph by
Stephen Christian.

The
review of The Gaslight Anthem's fourth album "Handwritten". It may not be the masterpiece to highlight
their discography, but this one is still something to be proud of. This album starts off incredibly strong but does succumb to a few tracks that won't reign over the replay button. The pros definitely outweigh the cons though. Handwritten, being led by "45", is
something that people can pay full price on and still walk out happy. Jersey fan's rejoice, your boys did well.
This is the review for Baroness' new album "Yellow & Green". I can honestly say this is the best and most complete rock album I have heard in years. It is in every way what an album should be, and it is a complete experience. This one is worth every cent. It's rare that a rock album can be played from beginning to end without having to skip a track, but Baroness has achieved this goal. I recommend everyone check at least one or two songs out on this album to see what I mean.

An album review for Icarus Witch's new album
"Rise". It may not be the
hardest metal album you are going to hear, but it's definitely got the right
ingredients for a good soundtrack. These
are the songs you will be chanting for days after hearing them. With a new singer and guitarist, IW may be around for a while on metal stations with this release. Good stuff.

A review of Linkin Park's new album "Living Things". Overall, this was a good listening experience and a worthy entry into the bands catalog (and might I add it is also LOADS better then their last release in my opinion). There are several good songs on the album that do have a great rhythm and the whole album really stands out as an electronica-rock release. Less on the guitar; more on the turntable. It's decent stuff and worth checking out.

Here is the review for The Smashing Pumpkin's ninth album Oceania. Please ignore my bad pronunciation. Overall, this is the best thing from Smashing Pumpkins in ten years at least. I'd be lying if I said it was as good as Mellon Collie, but this album is still undeniably good. The constant guitar rhythm and ambient settings behind most tracks is what really pushes Oceania into an album worth having. This is a good choice for alternative fans who enjoy listening to music when in specific moods.
Next week is Linkin Park's new album!!!
Here is the review for Walk the Moon's new self-titled album! Do not think that Walk The Moon will be a one hit wonder if all you know is Anna Sun. The band's first full release proves it has a lot of tracks to stand on (my pick being Lisa Baby). If you still haven't heard Anna Sun, you will hear parts of it in this review.
