A truly wondrous debut not matched in ages, if ever. It's certainly one of the best albums of the year in any genre, Christian or Mainstream. It all flows, it all rocks, it's fun, it's well-done, well-written and just plain amazing.

One of the best albums for surround sound in the past 20 years, this is an alternative rock masterpiece that may not sound like it upon first listen, but it grows on you like a weed.

Fans of the band will come around to it, fans of the genre will love it, and it might even impress the haters. As for highlights, it's hard to choose since there really isn't a weak track on this sunny summer soundtrack

Unlike the rest of the band's albums this rocks from start to finish, never remotely taking itself too seriously. By far Fall Out Boy's best and most underrated album, this album will be hard to put away.

A great listen from start to finish, there's several strong tracks, and it makes for great and original rock. Certainly one of the most promising of 2008, check out The Gaslight Anthem and their "59' Sound," and odds are you won't be disappointed with these Jersey Rockers.

If you're looking for pop that's so good, it almost seems wrong to call it pop, a dance record that's meant to be turned up loud, or a group that should be the next big thing, then The Ting Tings are for you. In the award for best new artist of 2008, the award goes to The Ting Tings.

A fun and quirky indie pop rock album with smart originality and flair. Call it nerd rock, call it frat rock, call it a college radio station's dream, I'm calling it a Vampire Weekend, and I hope this weekend never ends, because everybody hates Mondays.
