Strange HouseStrange House by The Horrors

Great new rock/punk band from England. Reminds me a little of the Misfits and other 80's punk bands. I definitely reccommend this to anyone who wants a little originality in their music collection. "Horrors Theme", "Thunderclaps"
The Sufferer & the WitnessThe Sufferer & the Witness by Rise Against

This far exceeded my expectations. It's an absolutely perfect punk CD. I love every song. Great live show, by the way. "Ready to Fall", "Bricks", "Drones"
With Love and SqualorWith Love and Squalor by We Are Scientists

An awesome release from a great indie rock band. In Love and Squalor is a strong album filled with upbeat songs that get you pumped about life while still retaining rock's cynical mindset. "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt", "This Scene Is Dead", "Inaction", "Cash Cow", "The Great Escape"
If Only You Were Lonely Version BIf Only You Were Lonely Version B by Hawthorne Heights

The Silence in Black and WhiteThe Silence in Black and White by Hawthorne Heights

All We Know Is FallingAll We Know Is Falling by Paramore
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.94
Great emo, pop, rock band with a female lead singer. This is another great Fueled by Ramen band. "All We Know", "Pressure", "Whoa"
Riot!Riot! by Paramore
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.96
The new album from Paramore. I, personally, like it more than their debut because there is a lot more song diversity. Hayley's vocals are also very impressive (especially on "We Are Broken" and "Hallelujah"). "Misery Business", "Crushcrushcrush", " Fences", "Born for This"
Lies for the LiarsLies for the Liars by The Used
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.84
An impressive new CD from The Used. They definitely incorporate more originality into this album, such as the horns in "Paralyzed." There are a couple of songs that seem really poppy/soft for them, but other than that, it's worth checking out for sure. "The Bird and the Worm", "Hospital", "Paralyzed", "Wake the Dead", "Liar Liar (Burn in Hell)"
In Love and DeathIn Love and Death by The Used
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.96
After seeing the "All That I've Got" music video, I knew I had to have this. Great mixture of upbeat punk songs and low key songs. "Take It Away", "I Caught Fire", "All That I've Got", "Cut Up Angels", "Lunacy Fringe"
Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex PistolsNever Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols by The Sex Pistols

So ImpossibleSo Impossible by Dashboard Confessional
Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $1.50
Amazing four song ep. It tells a story from beginning to end. Plus, it's all acoustic, which rocks. "So Impossible", "Hands Down"
Dusk and SummerDusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional

Not my favorite Dashboard album, but still amazing. "The Secret's in the Telling", "Slow Decay"
Notes & PhotographsNotes & Photographs by JamisonParker

Jamisonparker's ep. Really great emo. I love Jamison's voice too. "Your Song", "Biting Bullets"
SleepwalkerSleepwalker by JamisonParker

Not as good as their ep, but still great. It took a few listens to stick, but once it did, it was amazing. "Alcohol & Bandages", "Best Mistake", "Slow Suicide"
Sam's TownSam's Town by The Killers
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.50

My DearMy Dear by New Year's Day

Amazing new female fronted band. This album is chock full of uber catchy songs. A must for anyone who had ever gotten their heart smashed. "I Was Right", "Ready Aim Misfire", "My Dear"
Hiding Inside the Horrible WeatherHiding Inside the Horrible Weather by My American Heart
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $2.00
The new album from MAH shows how much they've matured since the realease of 'The Meaning in Makeup.' Some of these songs remind me of CIWWAF, but perhaps that's just me. Basically, if you liked their older albums and you like the pop/punk/rock genre, check this out. "Boys! Grab Your Guns", "The Shake (Awful Feeling)", "There are More Frightening Things..."
The Meaning in MakeupThe Meaning in Makeup by My American Heart
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.78
Good emo/punk band. A few screamo (ish) songs on here, and I swear, no one does screamo like MAH. "Postcards and Letters", "How Dirty Boys Get Clean"
Until There's Nothing Left of UsUntil There's Nothing Left of Us by Kill Hannah
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.04
A great rock, electronic, pop album. It's got a dark under tone that goes fabulously with the sensual vocals. "Lips Like Morphine", "The Collapse"
Commit This to MemoryCommit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack

Hey There DelilahHey There Delilah by Plain White T's
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.49
Short and sweet. Great rock/pop/emo-esque band. "Hey There Delilah" (this song is so beautiful, it makes me wanna cry), "If I Told You" (maybe it's just me, but this song reminds me of the Beatles...)
This Is a Stick Up... Don't Make It a MurderThis Is a Stick Up... Don't Make It a Murder by Hit the Lights
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.64
Similar to FOB. Again, it's not groundbreaking, but it's catchy as hell. Love this whole album. Great for any mood. "Three Oh Nine" (awesome acappella section), "It's All the Rage", "Speakers Blown"
Move AlongMove Along by All American Rejects
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.26
Great pop/punk/rock. Great vocals. Catchy songs. Nothing ground-breaking, but still a must-have. "Dirty Little Secret", "Top of The World", "Straightjacket Feeling"
A Hangover You Don't DeserveA Hangover You Don't Deserve by Bowling for Soup
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.75
The most fun you'll have listning to a pop/punk album. Humorous lyrics and catchy songs. What's not to love? "Smoothie King", "My Hometown"
The Great Burrito Extortion CaseThe Great Burrito Extortion Case by Bowling for Soup
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $1.91
Not as good as their previous effort in my opinion, but still good. There are some definite funny moments and their trademark catchy pop/punk melodies. "Highschool Never Ends", "A Friendly Goodbye", "99 Biker Friends"
We Are PilotsWe Are Pilots by Shiny Toy Guns
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.70
Okay, I think this album is a little overrated. However, there are still plenty of good tracks that make this album worth the purchase. "You Are the One", "Le Disko", "Starts With One", "Don't Cry Out"
Pray for the Soul of BettyPray for the Soul of Betty by Pray for the Soul of Betty
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $0.01
The lead singer is Constantine from American Idol. And for all you rock fans, don't worry. There's no 'funny valentine' on this. "Some of My F***ed Up World", "Suicide"
This ProvidenceThis Providence by This Providence
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.05
Another good record from Fueled By Ramen. Full of catchy songs that will be in your head for days. "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "Card House Dreamer", "Secret Love...", "But What Will They Say?"
HeroineHeroine by From First to Last

I don't necessarily think this lives up to the hype, but there are some great songs that make the CD worth it. "Mothersound", "The Crows Are Coming for Us"
Making the GradeMaking the Grade by Diffuser

For fans of AAR and BFS. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's just fun pop/punk. "I Wonder", "Get It On", "Here's to You"
ConvictionConviction by Aiden
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $2.94
Although this album is rather inconsistant, it's still worth the purchase. While a few songs fall flat, the majority of the album is good. "Teenage Queen", "Son of Lies", "Believe", "Here Lies the Waste"
Antidote for IronyAntidote for Irony by So They Say
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $0.68

Wall of PeopleWall of People by Monty Are I
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.27
Not sure what I think of this CD yet. I'm not overly impressed, but it's growing on me. I'll keep you posted. "Between the Sheets", "Dublin Waltz", "Only the Weak"
The Kicks of PassionThe Kicks of Passion by Powerspace
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.04
I hate to say it, but I was very disappointed by this album. Only one song stands out ("Dancing in the Future"). Despite the lame lyrics, I found that I actually enjoyed the song due to it's unique arrangement, but I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album.
Better Than Knowing Where You AreBetter Than Knowing Where You Are by Spitalfield
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.13
I wasn't really impressed with this (it seems to me that the singer is always hanging off the bottom of the pitches), but there are some good songs. "Curtain Call", "Lasting First Impression"
Vans Warped Tour: 2007 CompilationVans Warped Tour: 2007 Compilation by Various Artists
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.01
Great deal! $5.99 for 50 songs. No matter who you are, you'll surely find multiple songs you like on this album. My favorites are the ones by Cute is What We Aim For, I Am Ghost, The Matches, The Used, Bad Religion, Amber Pacific, Escape the Fate, My American Heart, Mayday Parade, Bayside, The Higher, Meg & Dia, and Aiden, along with many others.
