It seems Franz Ferdinand has yet to learn this lesson, as Tonight sounds just like their other two albums.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/tonight-franz-ferdinand-2009-by-franz-ferdinand/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/ray-guns-are-not-just-the-future-2009-by-the-bird-and-the-bee/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/ray-guns-are-not-just-the-future-2009-by-the-bird-and-the-bee/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:00:32 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=1167 The Bird and The Bee Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future 2009, Blue Note Records electronic, indie pop The Bird and the Bee seem like yet another artsy duo attempting to find success in the indie pop field with their second album Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future; even the title of their album is appropriately off-beat to fit that image. ]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/ray-guns-are-not-just-the-future-2009-by-the-bird-and-the-bee/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/everything-is-everything-2009-by-autorotation/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/everything-is-everything-2009-by-autorotation/#comments Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:00:46 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=1158 Autorotation Everything is Everything 2009, TeknoStan Records electronic dreampop I'll admit that I'm a hesitant electronica listener, at best - I fancy guitars and pianos way too much to give them up. But there are times where an electronica album will come out of no where and basically hit me upside the head, which is what I experienced with Autorotation's Everything is Everything.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/everything-is-everything-2009-by-autorotation/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/beggars-2009-by-thrice/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/beggars-2009-by-thrice/#comments Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:02:04 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=1097 Thrice Beggars 2009, Vagrant alt rock, post-hardcore If I were to crown any modern band as Most Surprising With Every Album They Put Out, Thrice would be it.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/beggars-2009-by-thrice/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/pigeonholed-ep-2009-by-lipona/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/pigeonholed-ep-2009-by-lipona/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:00:58 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=958 Pigeonholed EP.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/pigeonholed-ep-2009-by-lipona/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/new-single-nightday-by-mae/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/new-single-nightday-by-mae/#comments Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:28:45 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=883 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/new-single-nightday-by-mae/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/whisper-house-2009-by-duncan-sheik/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/whisper-house-2009-by-duncan-sheik/#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:04:55 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=863 Duncan Sheik Whisper House 2009, RCA Vicor pop, indie Released on the heels of his successful compositions for the Tony award-winning play Spring Awakening, Duncan Sheik's newest Whisper House doesn't seem all that different from a Broadway recording. ]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/whisper-house-2009-by-duncan-sheik/feed/ 2 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/no-line-on-the-horizon-2009-by-u2/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/no-line-on-the-horizon-2009-by-u2/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:00:47 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=843 U2 No Line on the Horizon 2009, Interscope rock ½ It's interesting that my ratings for the mainstream albums on this site are pretty consistent. I could give you a very simple answer as to why that is - there's no surprise. I hate being the conspiracy theorist that I am, but I'm pretty convinced that Coldplay's recent album is creating waves in the music biz, but not in a good way.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/no-line-on-the-horizon-2009-by-u2/feed/ 0 http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/merriweather-post-pavilion-2009-by-animal-collective/ http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/merriweather-post-pavilion-2009-by-animal-collective/#comments Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:24:07 +0000 admin http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/?p=839 Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion 2009, Domino Records experimental, psychedelic rock I've mentioned before that I gave this album a listen because Pitchfork and practically every music critic under the sun adored it. When I first listened to it, it sounded like a bunch of frat boys got drunk one night and decided to make some sort of noise that they believed to be music. I was prepared to go to my grave believing that, but the lyrics tell an entirely different story.]]> http://www.awaitstheday.sunira.net/tunereview/merriweather-post-pavilion-2009-by-animal-collective/feed/ 0
