Owl City - Ocean Eyes


Artist: Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes
Purchase:

If you have never heard of Owl City get ready because they are an uprising band that is soon to it the radio airwaves. You could compare them to Postal Service which is Death Cab For Cuties previous band. It's just that the lyrics are so unbelievable! Tune is great and chill with soothing lyrics to the heart.

Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King


Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King
Purchase:

This is a wonderful album. The first time that I listened to the album, I wasn't impressed, but this is because it is different from many, if not, all of their other albums. The second time that I listened to it, I was hooked. My favorite song, which just happens to be a song he wrote for his daughter, is "Alligator Pie". For being a song of simple lyrics, it has fantastic riffs and I can just see Dave strumming and dancing his heart out while playing this song. I get chills just thinking about him playing this song in a concert, it's just that good. I can't believe that this album is this cheap! Definitely worth every penny and more.

Rob Thomas - Cradlesong


Artist: Rob Thomas
Album: Cradelsong
Purchace:

Cradlesong by Rob Thomas once again demonstrates that he is among the top songwriters and musicians of a generation. Once again pulling away form Matchbox Twenty to produce his second studio album. This album will appeal to a vast audience with its vintage pop inspired sound and lyrics that are widely relevant to everyday issues that people face in this world, like crazy politics and faltering relationships. Don't expect a Matchbox Twenty or Something to Be sound from this album; Rob is expanding his talents and walking a bit of new ground here, but his deftness with melody and lyrics provide the quality and depth that one would expect. Every track is a winner, but I personally can't stop playing "Give Me the Meltdown." Rob's vocals on Cradlesong are excellent and he displays some range not seen before, All together Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty fans will love this album, and so will anyone else.
