Power Pop but a bit more intense than previous albums. Chris Walla of Death Cab produced it. Overall its a good power pop/new wave albums if you like female singers.

Artist: Built to Spill
Album: There is No Enemy
Rating: B+
Good solid BTS album - no surprises but its an enjoyable alt rock/indie rock album.

Artist: Sunset Rubdown
Album: Dragonslayer
Rating: B+/A-
If you like Spencer Krug's other bands (Wolf Parade, Swan Lake) you should like this album accessible than their previous records - interesting lyrics over cool rock tracks.

I was hoping for some at least interesting type pop from Taylor Hanson's new project, but it was absolutely awful.

Artist: Wyclef Jean
Album: From the Hut to the Projects to the Mansion
Rating: A-
Lil Kim, Eve and Cyndi Lauper actually work well with Wyclef. Good, clean, respectable sound.
