Finally Famous – Big Sean – Kanye's break through was "Jesus Walks", Kid Cudi's first album was a shook up rat-a-tat break down, and Big Sean is still waving his dick and saying he toldja sure. Yeah, he can rap great, he is a pop music machine, and some of these songs are excellent. but some aren't. And it is too late to be this shallow. Grade: B+
All Of You – Colbie Caillat – MOR pop, well written, well sung, well performed. It is a very, very happy album and it peaks sky high. Unfortunately, most of it is only very good . Grade: A-
Codes And Keys – Death Cab For Cuties – Exemplifies everything wrong with indie rock. It isn't quite bad, but it isn't realized. The songs feel incomplete, they need something and they fill in the doubt with more tracks. It is too busy. Grade: B_
Better Day – Dolly Parton – It is like Colbie Caillat with better songs and a twang. Grade: A
Eliza Doolittle – Eliza Doolittle – Finally, somebody capable of following in Lily Allen's footsteps. Well sampled, well written, well thought out pop songs. Grade: A-
Here Before – The Feelies – It is like a picture in a crapbook and you think you remember the guy, but you don't. Grade: B+
David Comes To Life – Fucked Up – It is the Monitor of 2011 only not as goes. Grade: A-
