"Metals"- Feist

4.5/5. Great album. Very dark sounding, cool string arrangements. Excellently done.

"Graveyard"- Feist

"Mylo Xyloto"- Coldplay

5/5. I know a lot of people here don't like Coldplay, but this album is great. I loved all of it. I haven't heard a bad Coldplay album yet.

"Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall"- Coldplay

"Paradise"- Coldplay"

"Night Of The Hunters"- Tori Amos

3.5/5. The idea is cool, taking classical pieces and using them as background and inspiration, but the album is just alright.

"Job's Coffin"- Tori Amos

"Vice Verses"- Switchfoot

4.5/5. Starts out slow but picks itself up in a big way, really good album.

"Vice Verses"- Switchfoot

"Selling The News"- Switchfoot

Everyone forget about this thread?

"Velociraptor!"- Kasabian

3.5/5. If Kasabian is good at anything, it's pumping out mediocre albums. This one has a few good spots but drew a collective "meh" from me.

"Velociraptor!"- Kasabian

"The Great Escape Artist"- Jane's Addiction

4.5/5. Jane's Addiction is back and they sound great.

"End To The Lies"- Jane's Addiction

"Balls Out"- Steel Panther

4/5. For a joke band, these guys are talented. If you can get past the vulgarity, it's a very funny album.

"Weenie Ride"- Steel Panther

"Bad As Me"- Tom Waits

5/5. Tom Waits doing what he does best, making great music. Loved this album.

"Back In The Crowd"- Tom Waits

"In The Pit Of The Stomach"- We Were Promised Jetpacks

4/5. Good old-fashioned indie rock. Great music.

"Medicine"- We Were Promised Jetpacks

a very interesting review I read (8/10), mentioned that it's actually not THAT "supermegaawesome" as is claimed everywhere, but that most this reviewer and probably most of his colleagues are so relieved that it didn't turn out as mainstream as they feared after "Brothers" ;) :D

Is Natalia Kills big outside of America? I've never heard of her and she's in the top ten. And she seems pretty terrible from the samples on last.fm. Like Lady Gaga but somehow worse.

Well, she's #3 in the US charts too, but I don't know her either (of course that doesn't say much as I'm not really up to date with the newest pop sensations ;) )
