Featured Albums:

Art Brut
Brilliant! Tragic!
Cooking Vinyl

“Play what you know!” Eddie Argos shouts during “Clever Clever Jazz,” the song that not only opens Brilliant! Tragic!, but sets up its meta context as well. Art Brut may still be extremely self-aware, but the band spends plenty of time trying new things on this album, and they picked a crucial time to do it. Despite the very real charms of It’s a Bit Complicated and Art Brut vs. Satan, it often felt like the band was trying to recapture the brilliance of Bang Bang Rock & Roll with diminishing returns.

 Alternative/Indie Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock

Lady Gaga
Born This Way
Interscope

Not long into the ceaseless promotional parade for Born This Way, Lady Gaga’s second full-length record and easily the most anticipated record of the 2010s, a certain sense of inevitability crept into play. It was inevitable that Born This Way would be an escalation of The Fame, it was inevitable that Gaga would go where others feared to tread, it was inevitable that it would be bigger than any other record thrown down in 2011, both in its scale and success. This drumbeat, pulsating as insistently as Eurodisco, is so persistent that there is an inevitable feeling of anticlimax upon hearing Born This Way for the first time and realizing that Lady Gaga has channeled her grand ambitions into her message, and not her music.

 Pop, Dance-Pop, Urban

cover

Thurston Moore
Demolished Thoughts
Matador

Though it’s somewhat surprising Thurston Moore and Beck didn’t work together prior to Demolished Thoughts, their collaboration lives up to its promise, delivering an album of psychedelic chamber folk that is the perfect meeting of both artists’ mellow sides.

 American Underground, Indie Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Experimental Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock

cover

Brad Paisley
This Is Country Music
Arista

Consciously backpedaling from the all-encompassing embrace of American Saturday Night, Brad Paisley narrows his definition of what constitutes modern country on his seventh collection of new songs, This Is Country Music.
