Teeth Sinking Into Heart 2008, Warner Bros. pop, acoustic, blues rock ½ In an interesting turn of events, Rachael Yamagata's sophomore album is split into two distinctive style and records. The first, Elephants, is similar to her debut Happenstance in that it is filled with dark, moody ballads, while the second, Teeth Sinking Into Heart, has a harder rock sound and a faster tempo. Yamagata's gritty contralto of course shines poignantly in Elephants, but the true surprise is that her voice is actually better suited to the harder Teeth.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/elephantsteeth-sinking-into-heart-2008-by-rachael-yamagata/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/19-2008-by-adele/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/19-2008-by-adele/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:20:34 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=972 Adele 19 2008, XL/Columbia Records pop soul Considering that Adele won the Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Chasing Pavements," reviewing 19 seems almost trite. But this month's theme focuses on the female voice, and I really think Adele fits the bill as one of the most unique female vocalists today.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/19-2008-by-adele/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/david-cook-2008-by-david-cook/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/david-cook-2008-by-david-cook/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:51:19 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=954 David Cook David Cook 2008, RCA/19 Records rock, pop ½ I'll admit it - I'm a closet American Idol fan, and I was particularly impressed by David Cook last season. After his surprising win, I think it's safe to say that his was one of the most anticipated albums of the year. Unfortunately, what we got was a bland album sung by a great singer, which left me in a lurch.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/david-cook-2008-by-david-cook/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/music-video-mind-is-ugly-by-war-tapes/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/music-video-mind-is-ugly-by-war-tapes/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:42:14 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=950 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/music-video-mind-is-ugly-by-war-tapes/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/sleep-well-2008-by-electric-president/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/sleep-well-2008-by-electric-president/#comments Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:00:47 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=877 Electric President Sleep Well 2008, Morr Music electronic, indie pop While this album was my introduction to the band Electric President, Sleep Well is their sophomore effort and quite an impressive one at that. It's always odd describing an album or a group as 'indie pop' since 'pop' is really just a shortened version of 'popular,' but Electric President is like the Moonbabies in that they can only be classified as the indie version of pop.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/sleep-well-2008-by-electric-president/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/iron-ponies-ep-2008-by-provincial-parks/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/iron-ponies-ep-2008-by-provincial-parks/#comments Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:01:59 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=836 Iron Ponies is probably the one exception to that rule, because it jumped out at me through the first listen.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/iron-ponies-ep-2008-by-provincial-parks/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/the-fierce-and-the-longing-2008-by-audrey/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/the-fierce-and-the-longing-2008-by-audrey/#comments Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:00:22 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=750 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/the-fierce-and-the-longing-2008-by-audrey/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/service-bell-ep-2008-by-years-of-rice-and-salt/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/service-bell-ep-2008-by-years-of-rice-and-salt/#comments Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:08:17 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=724 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/service-bell-ep-2008-by-years-of-rice-and-salt/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/now-that-were-alive-ep-2008-by-annabel/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/now-that-were-alive-ep-2008-by-annabel/#comments Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:12:29 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=720 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/now-that-were-alive-ep-2008-by-annabel/feed/ 0
