Juliana Hatfield - There's Always Another Girl C+
Release Date August 2011
I really want to like this one, but so far I haven't been able to sink my teeth into it. As soon as I read that the album's central theme was failure, the title track was inspired by Lindsay Lohan, and the project was initially called Speeches Delivered to Animals and Plants, I was uber-excited to hear these songs. Unfortunately, this has been a slow burn with only one song standing out so far, and a few others bubbling under. Favorite tracks - Someone Else's Problem and Thousands of Guitars
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 B
Release Date: May 2011
A playful and fun party record that I haven't taken too seriously. Lots of old school hooks and clever beats. It occasionally sounds cluttered, but ultimately satisfies. File under: Sounds like summer, smells like cayenne pepper. Favorite tracks - Lee Majors Come Again and Nonstop Disco Powerpack
Sean Lennon & Charlotte Kemp Muhl - Ghost of a Sabor Tooth Tiger: Acoustic Sessions D+
Release Date: October 2010
I like Sean Lennon, I was excited to see he had a new project, but this one is nothing more than boring background music. Favorite track - Rainbows in Gasoline
