Cross

Evidently people in the rave scene debate whether or not Justice are "legitimate" house music. I say "who cares, so long as they shred." As far as I'm concerned, they're the next Daft Punk.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

Strangely redolent of Weezer's "Pinkerton," in my opinion.

Sound of Silver

The culmination of everything James Murphy has strived for throughout his career.

Myths of the Near Future

Americans are through with dance-punk; the brits have now taken it and run with it.

Back to Black

It's a true shame that dame Amy appears to have a serious coke habit now. Then again, great art is born of suffering, is it not? This album has given rise to the best stuff I've heard get mainstream radio airplay in the last five years.

The Reminder

A complete surprise.

Icky Thump

The more experimental tracks are throwaways, but the rest is a return to form.

Boxer

Standard indie rock/neo-post-punk

Dandelion Gum

Lo-fi electronic/psychadelic stuff.

Grinderman

The specter of Steve Albini haunts this stuff.

God Save the Clientele

Need I explain?

Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

Twee as f**k--musically if not lyrically.

Fancy Footwork

Chromeo: keepin' electro alive.
