CD Review

"Transference," Spoon

Not as immediately accessible as the pop bombast of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but a welcome return to old school Spoon

"The Goodbye Album," Matthew Sonntag

It’s only natural for a young artist to imitate his idols: We learn by walking in the footsteps of giants.

"Need You Now," Lady Antebellum

This is very accomplished pop music — sometimes a little overblown, but consistent, upbeat and singalong-ready.

'Secret of the Oozy,' Bunkdoozy

You’re taking a big risk when you label your band a “jam band.”

"If You Hear Birds Chirping it’s Going to Be Clear," One Gun Galleria

Halfway through this record, Elijah Mink's talent doesn't just shine — it gleams

's/t,' pe-rad

It's pronounced "parade."

"Scrambles," Bomb the Music Industry!

Scrambles blazes through 13 tracks and uses nearly as many musicians — on everything from drum machines to Game Boys.

"Contra," Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend takes a cue from the Clash on their sophomore record

"Echo Party," Edan

Edan retains his spaced-out style and his twisting, complex ethos, but the result is nowhere near as compelling as his previous efforts.
