Musical update #1

Just a quick post in order to keep my blog alive.

New albums since my last post:
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
[5/5. Interpol, be careful, they're coming for you.]

Death Cab for Cutie -Transatlanticism
[30/50. Was recommended to me because I listen to Interpol. Vocals and lyrics are good, but they miss the instrumental part that makes Interpol so good.]

Explosions in the Sky - How strange, innocence
[45/50. Instrumental awesomeness. Try if you like Godspeed You! Black Emperor.]

The Mars Volta - Amputechture
[40/50. And another Mars Volta album that doesn't reach the high standard of De-loused in the Comatorium. Which doesn't mean it sucks, it still damn good rock music.]

The Postal Service - Give up
[35/50. Like Transatlanticism, but a tad catchier. Add real instruments next time please.]

The Veils - Nux vomica
[40/50. My local paper said the singer was "The new Jeff Buckley". But he's not, unfortunately. Still, pretty good in it's own right.]
