Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

Release Date: March 28, 2006

Karen 0 doesn't orgasm as much in this one. Less screaming. Less POW! Solid from start to finish though. I think I heard an acoustic guitar in there somewhere.

Built to Spill - You In Reverse

Release Date: April 11, 2006

Back to the sound of Perfect From Now On. Means back to the sound of awesome.

Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops

Release Date: April 18, 2006

Less "spacey" as Nowhere. Still love it. I have a feeling critics will bash this album though.

The Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea

Release Date: April 18, 2006

Crazy reverse vocals everywhere. A little more simplistic. Will make up for the debacle that was Rehearsing My Choir. One of the best albums THE BEST album this year so far.

Islands - Return to the Sea

Release Date: April 4, 2006

ISLANDS, ISLANDS, ISLANDS!!! "Rough Gem" makes me dance. Favourite song this year.

The Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics

Release Date: April 4, 2006

Great record. I don't think it has the same epic feel of Yoshimi, but still great overall. Not overly impressed, not disappointed.

Mogwai - Mr. Beast

Release Date: March 7, 2006

Rocks out hard. Back to what Mogwai does best.

Liars - Drum's Not Dead

Release Date (UK): February 20, 2006
Release Date (US): March 21, 2006

Fucking retarded. Take out the Halloween noises from Drowned and replace them with a bass drum and chanting. I've given up on these guys.
