The Future is Medium - 7/10

A nice (and efficient) grunge album, featuring an average song length under 3 minutes. There's a good amount of grunge out there that I do prefer to what's found here, but there are some standout tracks on this album as well. Plus, it's pretty consistently ok.

"Never Say Goodbye" made an appearance on my favorite songs list in 2012. I still think it's a nice song, and honestly prefer it to a number of the hits from Slippery When Wet. 8/10

The Walking - 7/10

It's a nice album, and takes an interesting approach to art/progressive pop. But the song quality is all over the map. There are some gems like "The White Tent the Raft" and "The Bird in the Gravel," but there's plenty of middling stuff as well.

Babe Rainbow - 7/10 I don't know how others will react, but I certainly didn't hate it. I'd say this is probably on par with the group's earlier output, which is to say it's pretty decent. Jangle pop and indie pop and two genres that I almost always enjoy, and that was the case here. Songs like &qu...

The Disintegration Loops II - 5/10

I wasn't much of a fan of the original Disintegration Loops either, and my general feelings carry over to this album. I like the concept of a tape loop slowly decaying, but the actual 75 minutes of music here just aren't my thing.

There are six people left who still get one of their songs in the game. Time for a short evaluation: do people like this approach of having another user's song per day? Personally, I think it does actually help keep things fresh and doesn't make a couple of people's taste dominate as once. If we co...

Heyday - 7/10

Despite the lack of a song as great as "Under the Milky Way," this album is probably about equal to Starfish. That is to say, it's a solid album if not one I'd consider a favorite.
