More Quick Reviews

First, this is my first post from the BlogPress iPad app so if things a little off, thats why. I'm hoping it turns out alright because that will give me some freedom to post on the go more often. Anywho, here we go!

ONE SENTENCE REVIEWS










Halcyon Digest
Rating: 80/100
While immensely enjoyable and beautifully executed, Halcyon Digest fails to venture outside of territory that hasn't already been fully charted by The Velvet Underground, The Strokes or Pavement though a band could hardly be inspired by a better group of artists.
High Point Tracks: "Sailing", "Desire Lines", "Coronado"










Ra Ra Riot - The Orchard
Rating: 77/100
If you like Vampire Weekend, it is almost certain you will also like the latest offering from Ra Ra Riot as it is similarly polished, preppy and poppy but it lacks the wild energetic streak that has propelled VW to indie rock super stardom.
High Point Tracks: "You and I Know", "Too Dramatic", "Do You Remember"








Girl Talk - All Day
Rating: 86/100
It takes a while for All Day to really get moving, but once it does, it never looks back with Girl Talk aka Gregg Gillis creating a constant stream of hard core booty shaking mashups that are breathtakingly sublime, often comical and utterly unforgettable.
High Point Tracks: Not Applicable

A Couple of Quick Reviews

Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Rating: 90/100
After years of waiting for another installment of the legendary 50 States Project, Sufjan returns with a majestic and pioneering album that redefines his refined indie folk sound with electronic textures and innovative rhythmic patterns.
High Point Tracks: "Age of Adz", "Vesuvius", "Impossible Soul"


Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager
Rating: 84/100
Post-rap prodigy Kid Cudi delivers another chapter in his Man on the Moon trilogy that leads the listener through a dark tour of his psyche with a highly enjoyable collection of infectious genre bending tracks.
High Point Tracks: "Erase Me ft. Kanye West", "Mojo So Dope", "These Worries ft. Mary J Blige"
