Pitchfork Review: Tilly and the Wall - Bottoms of Barrels
Source: pitchforkmedia.com
"On wide-ruled loose-leaf with cursive signatures and loopy flowers doodled in the margins, it sounded awful.
Tales from the Bandwagon: 5 Essential Albums
I've been meaning to write this article for a while, and even though both Brian Ford and [Sachin::Patel] have beaten me to it, what audiophile can resist the lure of the Top 5 List? So, here's my entry for 5 albums (in no particular order) that I think everybody should at least …
Tilly and the Wall scrapes Bottoms of Barrels, Comes up with Gold
Tilly and the Wall proved with their first full length, 2003's Wild Like Children, that they could capture the frenetic energy of youth and project it back to listeners through light guitar rhythms, simple keyboard melodies, dizzying vocal harmonies and almost feverish tap danci …
Cartel: Chroma
Two summers ago, it was Yellowcard. Last summer it was Fall Out Boy. This summer, if everyone listens carefully, it will be Cartel. Chroma is the Atlanta quintet's debut LP which is due to be re-released on Epic Records in June.
Pitchfork Review: Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
Source: pitchforkmedia.com
"No, really-- this album is the return to form that Pearl Jam fans have been waiting for since Ten. Or Vs.. Or Vitalogy. Or whichever album was the last on which Pearl Jam were a fully accredited rock band.
Pitchfork Review: Neil Young - Living With War

Neil Young is back with a protest album that grades a solid 7.6 on the tough pitchfork scale.
Music Review: Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Band Name: Scary Kids Scaring Kids Album: The City Sleeps in Flames Hometown: Tempe, Ariz. Type of Music: Post-Hardcore, Emo, Screamo Record Label: Immortal Records
Music Review: Josh Ritter - The Animal Years
It seems that every review of Josh Ritter's music must first mention his lack of relation to the late actor John Ritter. Now, I guess, this review is no different.
Here I Dreamt I was a Music Critic
The business of an art critic is quite silly. If you aspire to be a professional critic, first, you need an opinion, and it often helps that it be negative. Next, you need to familiarize yourself with some fancy, foreign language clichés (usually in Latin or French).
Joe Satriani - Super Colossal
Combine Rock, Pop, Jazz, Fusion and heavy metal and out would spit something that would look... very weird. What it would sound like though is Joe Satriani. Satriani just released his newest album, "Super Colossal" and it is absolutely incredible.
Natalie Imbruglia: Counting Down the Days
Natalie Imbruglia is one of the most under-rated female singers in music today. Her music is always mis-categorized as Pop or New Age. The fact is that it is pure semi-acoustic alternative music, to be precise.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones
Finally the Yeah Yeah Yeahs follow up to 2003's Fever To Tell has hit the shelves with the subtlety of a kiss and a punch in the face. Show Your Bones is a romp. The single that circulates the less pedestrian college and satelite radio stations is currently Gold Lion.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Yes, yes, yes.
The first time I heard the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs single "Gold Lion" I didn't even know it was them. I thought it was a new track from Tegan and Sara, or really any female fronted rock group other than the visceral and dischordant trio from New York.
Rascal Flatts: Me and My Gang
I've been on Newsvine since the very beginning and I've yet to post an article, until now. Tonight, I am finally motivated to take this next step up the Vine. After reading Introducing: Newsvine Music Reviews, I was totally inspired.
Introducing: Newsvine Music Reviews
The idea is simple. We write music reviews and tag them in such a way that they aggregate in the same place. I have spent the past few days setting up a system that I think could work quite nicely.
Wilco: A Ghost Is Born
The following is an example of how a Newsvine Music Review might be set up. While I am the author of the review below, I did not write it for Newsvine. It first appeared in The Oracle in the summer of 2004. A full discussion of Newsvine Music Reviews can be found here.
