Bell X1 - Blue Lights on the Runway
I liked what I'd heard from the 2006 release and sought this out upon release. Hard to pigeonhole this sound, but it's certainly intelligent alternative creations with a vocalist who at times recalls David Byrne. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying the music is a more subtle Talking Heads in style just for the sake of a reference on the fly. Irish band that deserves a listen or three if you like intellipop music.
Blue October - Approaching Normal
I think they are one of the best rock bands to arrive this decade. Angst my ass, this guy is truly pissed off and unafraid to commit it to record, which is probably why I like it so much and many reviewers don't. Pansies. "Hate Me" from the previous album got them the attention they deserved, but make no mistake, you won't get an album full of "Hate Me" clones just because it was a hit. I don't listen to much terrestrial radio but I did hear one of the new tracks on a drive through Atlanta recently and damn near drove off the road in shock!
