Crazy Weather – Kevin Jenkins – If Kevin’s sophomore album is all quiet fury, this closer is loud anger, a ransacked guitar based quasi-Hendrix blues soul out, it sounds like everything is going out of control – B+
Working Song – Tove Styke – The last song on the album where people try to expand from the base with an even snappier dance synth beat – B
Black Butterfly – Tamia – A lovely image well presented – B
Love Reign O’er Me – Pete Townshend – And you thought Daltry overdid it – A
Drones – Muse – A sort depressing hymnal to end the proceedings. Hey, better than the guitar stuff – B-
Melting Down – J Fernandez – This is the real drone, but it is the one place this lo fi psychedelic guy seems to break through his wall of sound – B+
Singapore – Gilbert O’Sullivan – Pure Gilbert, a nursery rhyme love song – B
Where I’m Going – A Thousand Horses – Yucky, quasi-Americana drag through the wild meadows, this ain’t happening – C
A Violent Death – FSS – This basically sucks – D
Bring Back The Summer – Ash – Really, great title but they forgot the song. This is the third dog with summer in its name in a row. You need to do more than evoke the Beach Boys, you know – C
Jordan Fade – Cousin Stizz – By around here you can’t help but hope he has more than this up his sleeve – B-
