Rocked: Circa Survive - Violent Waves

On the heels of promoting and releasing their own album, Circa Survive succeeds in releasing a sweeping soundtrack that may stand as its most complete record ever.  Violent Waves delivers on many different levels, but it's the entire album as a whole that makes it stand tall in the alt rock scene.

Rocked: Owl City - The Midsummer Station

Owl City's new album The Midsummer Station is not what you would expect from one of the best live performing bands in the alternative genre.  While sparks of creativity are seen, the majority of the album is as bland as lukewarm milk.  Maybe there is more inspiration behind what is being presented, but as a whole this album doesn't deliver the bang for the buck.

Rocked: In This Moment - Blood

In This Moment's new album "Blood" delivers on many levels.  Whether it is empowerment, adrenaline, or driving rhythmic sound, Blood will give you what you need.  The end of the album features a fantastic cover and after a full listen, you'll see why this album confirms this group as a staple in the rock scene.

Rocked: 10 Years - Minus The Machine

The review for 10 Years' Minus The Machine.  A solid album that has a range of moods.  It's hard to say whether the full rock audience will accept it as the next big album, but Minus The Machine will definitely hit well with 10 Years fans and anyone who enjoys a good alternative sound.

Rocked: Anchor & Braille - The Quiet Life

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.

Rocked: The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten

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.

Rocked: Baroness - Yellow & Green

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.
