Let me preface this by saying, DAMN YOU WORDPRESS AND YOUR SHITTY FORMATTING ISSUES!!!

Radiohead – Harry Patch (In Memory Of)/These Are My Twisted Words

This is strictly B-side material, as far as Radiohead goes, so I’m glad these songs were released as one-offs. But any new Radiohead is good Radiohead, even if Harry Patch sounds like an unfortunate Native American name for a guy who doesn’t shave his pubes.

Dysrhythmia – Psychic Maps

Unclassifiable technical instrumental genius. Less like having your balls rocked off and more like sending them off  to college to study Calculus against their will.

The Mars Volta – Octahedron

The progsters least annoying effort since Deloused. No guitar solos = awesome. Glad to see Omar reign in his Santana worship for once.

Baroness – The Blue Record

Haven’t fully absorbed this one yet, but the artwork alone makes it worth purchasing. Baroness move further away from sounding like an old school Mastodon clone and continue to hone their own unique brand of rifftastic indie-metal. Loose as a goose and heavy as a moose.

David Bazan – Curse Your Branches

David Bazan returns with his second solo effort, proving once again that it was the other guy in Pedro The Lion, whose name no one remembers, that had all the talent. Snooze.

Mariachi El Bronx – El Bronx

The Bronx can do no wrong. Who would have thought a straight up mariachi record could be so good? These dudes are gonna be the kings of the barrio streets, moving up to Shangri-la.

Protest The Hero – Fortress

If Rush and Iron Maiden had a child and gave it up for adoption to The Dillinger Escape Plan and that child was sent to Julliard and took vocal lessons from that dude from The Darkness, that child would grow up to be Protest The Hero.

Capillary Action – So Embarrassing

The only thing embarrassing about this one is the cover. Mathy, Mike Patton inspired lounge jazz. A whole lot better than it sounds.
