4	The Stand Ins	Another solid release from Okkervil River. This one is quicker, less produced and dramatic than "Stage Names", and all those qualities make for a stronger disc. The lyrics are every bit as clever, but the delivery is improved. "Pop Lie" is the highligh
4	Cardinology	OK effort from Adams and his band. It's consistent throughout, but there aren't the high peaks that have been on Adams' other discs. A little more mellow and twangy then his last few. "Magick" is the best one here.
4	Peace Queer	File this under "what the hell was he thinking". A freebie isn't worth much if there is no value given, and there isn't much here. A couple of political jabs connect, but most of it feels half-assed.
4	@#%&!'n Smilers	A rather pedestrian, ho-hum effort from Ms. Mann. "Freeway" is a keeper, but the rest of it is paint by numbers adult contemporary. The lack of any guitar whatsoever is a disappointment and is probably why most of this is a snoozer.
0	The Slip	Nothing new, but what Trent does eerie, noisy, abrasive but melodic industrial rock in minor keys better than anyone. The crunchers are better than the ambient pieces. NIN fans will not be disappointed.
4	Chinese Democracy	It's possible that in 17 years I've gotten too old for GNR. More likely, this disc just sucks. Slash's tasteful guitar work is replaced with a myriad of players who overdistort and have no sense of subtlety. This is an Axl solo disc, and it aint good.
0	Slide It In	I can’t discern these guys from the rest of the 80’s hair band fray. It’s your normal hair band, run of the mill fodder. Well done I will say, but not special. I got a smile out of the first couple of songs but the innuendo really wasn’t all that clever.
0	Fear Not the Obvious	Rock with a shit-kickin’ attitude. Well paced and just takes off from “Wicked World” on. “Baby I Love You” is my new favorite love song, “Hunt You Down” and “Hankerin’” are great straight up rockers and an excellent goofy Abba cover to boot. What’s not to
0	Furr	Furr is very different from their debut being more cohesive. A Beck fueled Wilco with just enough quirkiness to be interesting while still being firmly Americana.
0	Ghost Notes	A swampy Crazy Horse version of Belle and Sebastian. The songs are good enough but they are too reserved. There needs to be some punch. All I ask is for one scream, one real solo, one big drum fill
