September’s CD pre-releases in 20 words or less!

No matter how many unsolicited CDs I get in my mailbox every month, I try to at least give each and every one of them a fair shot at a review, no matter how much it may pain me to listen to some of them. |
In the interest of saving myself a hell of a lot of work, I’ve condensed all of the reviews for the aforementioned albums to 20 words or less. Not only does this make my job easier, but it also makes the reviews more fun to read.
The Silent Years: The Globe
 |
Pretty decent, atmospheric indie pop by a bunch of science dorks from Detroit. Wait, there are science dorks in Detroit?! |
Common Market: Tobacco Road
 |
One of the best hip-hop albums I’ve heard all year. A nice surprise from the burgeoning Seattle rap scene. |
Late of the Pier: Echoclistel Lambietroy EP
 |
The coolest thing about this band is that one of the dudes looks exactly like Ronald Weasley from Harry Potter. |
One Block Radius: Self Titled
 |
Kind of like a modern version of Color Me Badd. Nice try, guys. |
People in Planes: Beyond the Horizon
 |
Really good 90s-style alternative rock. Used to have a way cooler name: “Robots in the Sky”. |
Brian Wilson: Lucky Old Sun
 |
Intolerably old fashioned. Sounds like the soundtrack to a really bad musical. My mom will probably like it. |
Wonderbugg: Written in Flesh
 |
Jesus H. Christ in a taxi cab, do people really still listen to techno? |
Solskucca: Swimming Without Webbed Toes
 |
Sounds like it was recorded at a gypsy camp in Kazakhstan. |
