1. Desolation – Lamb Of God – Harder then their last album, the fans claim. But what does that mean? The most ferocious band in the business nail it again, that's what that means.
2. .Wasted Days – Cloud Nothing – This is Cloud Nothings? The end of this song is the most brutal music you'll hear this week.
3. Get Burned – Sleeper Agent – A newbie from last years model, not bad, catchy enough. But not great.
4.Love T.K.O. – Seal – Apt as all get out, given his marital woes, and Seal does well, but his voice doesn't have the rasp of pain at its bottom.
5. Where's Tammy Wynette – Kellie Pickler – Not bad semi-tribute. I love her voice. The song, less so.
6. Dreamer – Elizaveta – The first song by this singer songwriter is a delight -an airy, light dream with a wonderful yodel.
7. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend to Dance – Black Kids – One hit wonders, and I wish they'd had another. Off the Icarly soundtrack by the way.
8. I Belong In Your Arms – Chairlift
9. Before I die – Kirk Franklin – Is there anybody bigger in modern Gospel: this song is Jesus goes vegas.
10. Sidecar – Kathleen Edwards – Song of the year… I know, sure it is early.
