No problem. I LOVE The Myriad album, but I also love MuteMath and Future of Forestry so they fit the bill for me. Thanks for your "Southern Hospitality" review, I'll have to check it out.

Thank you for your excellent reviews, especially JOC's albums.

God Bless! Kevin

Southern Hospitality by Disciple Disciple have decided to tweak their sound yet again. The question is, was it for the better? Well that depends what you like best about the brand of hard rock they bring to the table. In their self-titled release (and major label debut), they had a very ...

Who Are We Instead by Jars Of Clay I can't help but think this 5th release by Jars of Clay feels a bit disjointed. They've fully moved into 'folk' territory and if someone were to ask me for an album that 'feels like autumn', this would be it. The acoustic guitars dominate and you really ...

Ghosts by Sleeping At Last Alright, I'll admit it. The cover art is originally what caught my attention and intrigued me to give Sleeping at Last a try. Whoever designed it deserves bonus points because in the process they created a fan in me. While they draw comparisons to bands ...
