		<description><![CDATA[Before I can even start this review, you need to check out the genres this album covers. Yes, that would be hip-hop there, your eyes are not deceiving you; just think of it as 80s hip-hop rather than the mess that calls that genre home today. One would think that &#8216;Raine Maida&#8217; and &#8216;hip-hop&#8217; wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

I mean, in comparison to decemberunderground, you have to admit Sing the Sorrow at least retained the punk roots that garnered AFI&#8217;s cult following over the years.

It's been a while since I've given a 5-star rating to two consecutive albums from the same artist/band, but Brandi Carlile has made it impossible for me to rate this any less than a 5.]]></description>

Here's a lesson for you, kids: two decent songs do NOT a good album make.  It seems Franz Ferdinand has yet to learn this lesson, as <i>Tonight</i> sounds just like their other two albums.]]></description>

The Bird and the Bee seem like yet another artsy duo attempting to find success in the indie pop field with their second album <i>Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future</i>; even the title of their album is appropriately off-beat to fit that image.  ]]></description>

All right, folks, I have a very shameful secret.  Along with old-school Backstreet Boys and Britney, Evanescence is a <i>major</i> guilty pleasure of mine.]]></description>

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 <i>Everything is Everything</i>.]]></description>

Piano-pop and myself have a love-hate relationship that I have yet to figure out, but was definitely brought up while I listened to A Fine Frenzy's (aka Alison Sudol's) debut <i>One Cell in the Sea</i>.]]></description>
