 | Never Too Late (CD EP/DVD) by The Answer
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $1.20 COLLECTED:
Fun hair band sound, killer low price, little to complain about. Worth a listen and, perhaps, a purchase of their full album.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Highwater or Hell

 | Little Voice by Sara Bareilles
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $40.69 COLLECTED:
Sure, we've all become tired of her stupid "Love Song" single, but the rest of this album is actually quite good and Sara has a nice voice. Good piano work, too!
STANDOUT TRACKS: Between the Lines, Bottle it Up

 | Bone Palace Ballet: Grand Coda by Chiodos
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.24 COLLECTED:
What the f***? This album is both not what I expected it to be and exactly what I knew it would be at the same time. Some good "post-hardcore" tracks, here, with some good guitar work and fun song titles.
STANDOUT TRACKS: I Didn't Say I was Powerful, I Said I was a Wizard, Letter from Janelle

 | Simon by Dirty Little Rabbits
Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $2.08 COLLECTED:
This six song EP is almost a complete knock-out, if it werent' for that terrible, god-awful "I Love My Body" song. Ugh. Otherwise, this is a great start for the band, studio-wise, and I hope they put out a full album soon.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Hello, Happy, Poor, Poor Woman with her Head in the Oven

 | The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends by Evans Blue
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.58 COLLECTED:
Meh and ho-hum throughout, this album is just stock music, for the most part. However, it should be noted, that the lead vocals are at least somewhat good and there ARE a few, select and choice guitar licks to be found.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Shine Your Cadillac

 | Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.49 COLLECTED:
"Take Me Out" was way too popular when it was new, but for good reason. This is a sensational album and I can't believe I didn't pick it up when it was new.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Take Me Out, Darts of Pleasure

 | Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.25 COLLECTED:
Worth every penny. Bottom line.
STANDOUT TRACKS: 5/4, Clint Eastwood, 19-2000

 | Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix by Jimi Hendrix
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.89 COLLECTED:
Yes, I'd heard Hendrix before, but never had I really listened to him. And, yes, getting a "best of" album kinda cheapens the whole thing, but say what you will. You just be excited that Hendrix is NOT overrated, like I figured he'd be.
STANDOUT TRACKS: All Along the Watchtower, Little Wing

 | The Dream (The Ultra Violet Edition) by In This Moment
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $13.48 COLLECTED:
Almost can't tolerate this album. Don't know why, though; the music is good, the storyline is there, and the vocals aren't bad. I just can't stand it for whatever reason. I don't know.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Endless Days and Nights: Forever

 | Up from the Catacombs: The Best of Jane's Addiction by Jane's Addiction
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.78 COLLECTED:
Great music to relax to paired with great headbanging tracks. Great compilation from an awesome band.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Stop, Ocean Size, Classic Girl

 | Static Tensions by Kylesa
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $9.48 COLLECTED:
What a strange and fun album this turned out to be. Kylesa has a fine sound and great rhythms throughout. Worth the purchase.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Scapegoat

Listmania!
