Snow Patrol: A Hundred Million Suns
1. "If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It"
Parker: Liked it once it got into it, not blown away
Grant: Took too long to get going, not terrible
2. "Crack The Shutter"
P: Don't love it, but think I could after a few listens
G: Love the chorus, but the song isn't stellar, hope it grows on me
3. "Take Back The City"
P: The chorus just isn't good, like it less with each listen
G: Love the melody in the verse, hate the chorus. Loved it at first, like it less each time
4. "Lifeboats"
P: Doesn't go anywhere, they aren't writing hooks
G: Not doing it for me
5. "The Golden Floor"
P: Totally a background song for me
G: Cool beat, but that only gets you so far
6. "Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands"
P: Sounds like a Snow Patrol song, sounds like the singer is complacent
G: Snow Patrol usually makes me feel an emotion, this album isn't doing that!
7. "Set Down Your Glass"
P: I don't hate it, it's not making me feel anything, that's for sure
G: Is this a Snow Patrol lullaby?
8. "The Planets Bend Between Us"
P: It built up to what would be the slow part in most of their songs
G: This is going to put me to sleep!
9. "Engines"
P: Again, the music is good, but the monotone lyrics kill it
G: I like the "oooooh" and the distortion, but the whole package is meh
10. "Disaster Button"
P: Sounds just like the single "Take Back The City"
G: Has the same riff and same vocal melody
11. "The Lightning Strike"
P: Already 10 times better than the rest of the album, don't know if I could sit through all 16 minutes, but I like this a lot
G: I'm really liking this! Too dang long, but it's good
We are completely underwhelmed by this album. Where are the big hooks? Snow Patrol are known for making a person feel, but this album isn't making us feel anything at all. Well, boredom maybe. We want to like it, we just don't.
Overall Grade
P: Solid C
G: C-, just can't give it a D

I feel like I am left thinking well... almost.. I think that Keane fans might not like this and that is to bad..

Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger

The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
P. A-... the last two songs killed it for me.. but it is solid.. I think every song will end up being your favorite at some point.. If you played this at a party people would remember your name forever and ever..
D. I am going to give this a B+ it is really catchy, creative, and fun cd.. but.. I think after a month you would get sick of it.

D. There is no frowning allowed on this cd.
8. “Be the One”
P.
D. Started off ballady.. but then kicks into this beat.. Pretty Cool!! COWBELL!!

D. B-.. for what it is intended.. it isn't bad.. but.. for me.. it just isn't enough.. I think... I want to do a study and see if you can get a contact high from someones music written while high. Each song kind of has the same formula, at least the acoustic ones do..

5. Hit The Ground Running
P. This one is cool...
D. Groove heavy.. I dig.. really.. It is easy to take.. like hot chocolate..
6. Mansions In The Sand
P. this is Jack Johnson Sleepy..
D. To be fair this is what I thought the whole cd would be like this..
7. Someone's Something
P. This reminds me of something else
D. This is alright.. kind of not enough to get me out of the last song..
8. Sing A Song
P. this is on the beach, chick getting music..
D. I don't feel like his voice ever leaves the cool zone..
9. Pass It Around
P.
D. drug induced songs... = not as good as they sound..

Kerli - Love is Dead
Kerli - Love Is Dead
P. B-.. I am going to give this another try.. I am thinking she is trying to hard to be weird.. She needs to go pop, stay pop, and not worry about losing "cred". She will sell a lot more records.
D. B-.. I am going to give this cd another try, but I think after another listen I am going to agree with my gut.. The music is great.. The Production is amazing, and It gets lost in the delivery.. Her voice doesn't fit over 90 percent of the tracks..
1. Love Is Dead
P. I think they have remixed this.. it is happier..
D. Right from the beginning.. Woah.. it's Dark.. Big song..
2. Walking On Air
P. This feels faster than our copy..
D. This song is cool.. just odd...
3. The Creationist
P. I don't love it.
D. I don't know if I get this as a radio song.. It is a fun song though.
4. I Want Nothing
P. They are trying to hard..
D. I think the mix is bad.. her vocals are fairly burried, and the style of music doesn't fit her voice.. Too much..
5. Up Up Up
P. I like the string thing
D. This song is pretty cool.. at first I didn't like it.. but, it caught me.
6. Bulletproof
P.
D. They missed it again in the mix... I like the song tho.
7. Beautiful Day
P. I like the beat
D. This song is cool..
8. Creepshow
P.
D. Errie.. really.. strange..
9. Hurt Me
P. I like the music don't know if the vocals mix well
D. The tracking on the record is great!! The mixes.. not so much..
10. Butterfly Cry
P. once we got into it I like it..
D. Again.. the mix.. it's a little slow for me, and a step down from the rest..
11. Strange Boy
P.
D. She has a ton of production, great tracks, and somewhere in the delivery it all gets lost..
12. Fragile
P. Did Alanis sing this one
D. Eh I am done..
P. B-.. I am going to give this another try.. I am thinking she is trying to hard to be weird.. She needs to go pop, stay pop, and not worry about losing "cred". She will sell a lot more records.

Alanis Morissette - Flavors of Entanglement
Alanis Morissette - Flavors of Entanglement
P. I give it a C+, On the First song I thought oh crap.. track 3 and 4 were amazing Not As We was a Nice song but that is about it.. Didn't go anywhere.. There are a few songs that I would like to hear again..
I think it had elements of good, and elements of EH..
D. Hmm.. I want Alanis to do better.. I have to give this a C+.. It is ok.. I probably wouldn't turn it off, but wouldn't turn it on either. I may give it a second listen though... The sounds are cool on it though. And I dig into those.. so on the engineering/tracking side I have to give it a B+..
1. Citizen of the Planet
P. This is my fear this album is going to sound like this..
D. Cool Sound, The Aribic Feel is Erie, but the song is a little slow
2. Underneath
P. I would rather hear her cover of my humps.
D. This is ok.. Not sure if I would buy it.. but.. eh.. I wouldn't turn it off.
3. Strait Jacket
P. If I could find a clean version I'd play it.
D. Very Dancy.. Clubby.. I like
4. Versions of Violence
P. Did Prodigy do this?? I dig this one
D. I dig the music on this one.. her voice is... enya? for it at the beginning. The Chorus is Cool.. I like!!
5. Not as We
P. eh.. not really going anywhere but it sounds good.
D. Slow Ballady.. it's ok
6. In Praise of the Vulnerable Man
P. Timbaland needs to remix..
D. Poppy as ever.. it's ok. It's very complimentary
7. Moratorium
P. She needs a different producer on this one.
D. Very Running Man. It's Cool.. I want it to open up.. but it isn't
8. Torch
P. This is what I expect from the present tense Alanis
D. This is a cool Ballad.. I want more though.. I WANT ANGRY ALANIS
9. Giggling Again For No Reason
P. I like the music but. I feel left short..
D. Very Tracked again.. picked up.. floatin
10. Tapes
P. Does nothing
D. woa.. she used the word diatribes in a song.. Tapes in her head?? pick a different one Alanis
11. Incomplete
P. This song sounds trite
D. OH ALANIS!! now the chorus was kind of cool..
P. I give it a C+, On the First song I thought oh crap.. track 3 and 4 were amazing Not As We was a Nice song but that is about it.. Didn't go anywhere.. There are a few songs that I would like to hear again..

Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
P. I am going to give it a C- When I hear Soul Meets Body I am on it.. but as a whole I
D. I am going to give it a... C+.. I think musically the drums distract from the music..To the Point that I lower it a tad.. but push the vocals a bit, and it is a B-
Grant. B to B- Range.. I like it..But it isn't an A.
1. Bixby Canyon Bridge
P. Does this pick up Grant??
D. It's Death Cab.. Don't know if I would have started the CD with this
G. No.
2. I Will Possess Your Heart
P. It's the single it's good.
D. It is the Creepy Stalker Song.. But it's good.
G. No Doubt
3. No Sunlight
P. Kind of a cool track
D. I need a VW Bug.. With smoke billowing out the back..
G. It is a good one..
4. Cath...
P. I like this one so far..
D. Kind of a messy mix.. in my oppinion.. cool track though..
G. This is one of my favorite.
5. Talking Bird
P. It's Death Cab
D. I feel like the drums are in front of the vocals.. I am certain it is mixed in a pro studio.. I feel like they missed..
G. I really like this album.. but it has grown on me.
6. You Can Do Better Than Me
P. Beatles-ish..
D. I feel like I am watching a concert and the drummer is in the front and the lead singer is in the back..
G. Reminds me of a song on the last album.
7. Grapevine Fires
P. This is one song I will like
D. Cool Groove.. Still Drums in front to me..
G. This song has a lot of layers
8. Your New Twin Sized Bed
P.
D. I feel like the vocals are burried..
G. That song no suprize here if this is the second single.
9. Long Division
P. I like the beat just because I feel like the rest of the cd has put me to sleep.
D. Kind of a cool vibe.
G.
10. Pity and Fear
P. Does it pick up??
D. Kind of a cool "BellyDancer" Song..
G.
11. The Ice is Getting Thinner
P. Doing nothing
D. Artsy Fartsy song..
