Album Review: Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards
PunchBook | June 14th 2008 by nate
Grade - A- The debut LP from the Cold War Kids has been out for quite a while now; and it’s no longer a secret. Robbers & Cowards has propelled this Fullerton, CA group directly into the mainstream….a tour with the White Stripes didn read more
Album Review: Flight of the Conchords, Flight of the Conchords
PunchBook | May 23rd 2008 by nate
Grade - B This album reminds me a lot of Tenacious D.I didn’t just say that the Conchords are in the same league as KG & JB yet but they are quickly closing the gap. The scope in which these cats are able make parodies is limitless, from p read more
Album Review: Yael Naim - Yael Naim
PunchBook | May 15th 2008 by nate
Grade - C+ Ms. Naim’s debut album is a velvety mix of easy flowing feel good songs that most women around the world will really like. I’m not generalizing, but it’s not an album that most dudes are going to be cranking up in their c read more
Album Review: LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
PunchBook | May 14th 2008 by nate
Grade - B+ Something fresh……..Yessssssss! As hip-hop and electronic sounding beats become more and more meaningful to me in music, hearing an album like Sound of Silver is refreshing. Oh wait, shit! Those funky-ass beats are man made only read more
Album Review: Deftones - B-Sides and Rarities
PunchBook | May 13th 2008 by nate
Album Review - D+ Alright, so from time to time I plan on reviewing albums that I discover even though they may be a little older (or a lot older). I recently downloaded this pile of shit the Deftones put out back in 2005….about the time their read more
Album Review: R.E.M - Accelerate
PunchBook | May 12th 2008 by nate
Grade - C- R.E.M. is arguably one of the most influential alternative rock bands of 80’s, 90’s, and today. However, in my humble opinion, these guys have lost the energy that made people fall in love with their music. This is their 14th a read more
Album Review: The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of The Understate…
PunchBook | May 7th 2008 by nate
Grade - A- Does everything Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner touch turn to gold. Not only is this guy fronting one of the most cutting edge bands out there, now he has this side project called The Last Shadow Puppets which sounds fucking great. Hi read more
Album Review: The Wombats - The Wombats Proudly Present A Guide T…
PunchBook | May 6th 2008 by nate
Grade - C+ It seems that a lot of the Indie/Emo music being pumped out of the UK these days sounds the same. When I first listened to A Guide To Love, Loss, and Desperation it was more or less background music while I was working. When I popped it in read more
Album Review: Jack Johnson - Sleep Through the Static
PunchBook | May 4th 2008 by nate
Grade - C One word, PLEASANT Sleep Though the Static is the first real forgettable album put out by Jack Johnson, even the Curious George Soundtrack was better than is. The album kicks off with a politically charged track that shares the name of the read more
Album Review: Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
PunchBook | May 2nd 2008 by nate
Grade: C- There isn’t a Crazy on this album that can wash out the fact that Gnarls Barkley front man, Cee-Lo Green, sounds like the offspring between Gilbert Godfried and Whitney Houston in the hay day of her crack is whack phase. That voice e read more
Album Review: Black Keys - Attack and Release
PunchBook | May 1st 2008 by nate
Grade: B- Why is it that when I hear the Black Keys I get the feeling that when recording their albums the band is in one room, and the microphone is across the hall? Regardless, they continue to keep dropping solid albums one after another. Attack read more
