The Goo Goo Dolls' new album, Something for the Rest of
Us, reminds listeners that the Goo Goo Dolls have their own
style, one that appeals to those both interested and not interested
in mainstream music. This is the style they should stick to, and
while a few songs on their new album show some promise, the rest of
the tracks could be left out as they lack the originality the group
once possessed.

If there is one skill that Justin Nozuka has mastered, it is the
art of repeating himself. Not just once or twice, but frequently,
throughout almost every songs on his new album, You I Wind Land
and Sea. It is almost as if he could not think of any other
lyrics to put in, so he gave up and decided it would be best to
sing the same thing over and over, changing the musical lines for
each song. His voice is soothing, but certain words can get really
annoying quickly. Some might remember Nozuka as the one-hit wonder
responsible for ""After Tonight,"" in which he began this sometimes
obnoxious repetition.

From the sound to the lyrics, Stir the Blood is a darker album
than what the Bravery have done in the past, which they use to
their benefit. On their self-titled first album, the Bravery paired
comical lyrics with rock music, and on their second album, The
Sun and The Moon, they tried for happier lyrics. Now the
Bravery have gotten edgier. Their lyrics mostly express anger, and
so does the sound. Sure, it's depressing at times, but that is
what makes it so successful. The album is well-suited for a
stressful time when you have a full work-load and all you want to
do is procrastinate for awhile, by rocking out on a fake guitar
while jumping on your bed. The tracks on this album aren't screamy
like most anger-inspired music, which helps them appeal to a larger
crowd.

Weezer's new album, Raditude, adds a few surprises to
the traditional Weezer format, but doesn't move far from the Weezer
that fans know and love.

Brett Anderson's new album, Slow Attack, is a dud. From
its first song, ""Hymn,"" to its last, ""Leave Me Sleeping,"" the
entire album is disappointing. It is a mixture of sinister tunes
and off-balanced singing. The only parts of the album that are
pleasing are the beginning—because you haven't heard it yet—and the
end—because it's over.

Nellie McKay's As Normal as Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to
Doris Day takes us back in time to the 1920s prohibition era
with smooth jazz and slow ragtime tunes, like Nora Jones or Ella
Fitzgerald. McKay's voice is slightly husky and dream-like, which
makes her slower songs relaxing and her faster songs really
upbeat.

Islands, an indie pop band from Montreal, are set to release
their third album, Vapours. While their last album, Arm's Way, was
filled with songs with a lighter feeling and a sense of eeriness,
Vapours contains music that feels heavier and more upbeat. The
album consists of tunes that bring your mind toward the beach and
focuses on reviving retro tunes to fit the modern era.
