10 in 10: Back with a Vengeance
10 albums in 10 words (or less)… ready, set, go!
1. Sayyadina – The Great Northern Revisited
[rating:7/10]
28 minute long tracks of kick-ass grind metal mayhem.
2. Sebastien Grainger – Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains
[rating:7/10]
You will be bopping your head and tapping your foot.
3. think quick – the john hughes demos
[rating:5/10]
Unfocused, unpolished demo of 30 tracks, but it shows promise.
4. Stars Go Dim – Love Gone Mad
[rating:4/10]
Generic radio-friendly pop rock, at least it’s well produced.
5. Dala – Everyone is Someone
[rating:7/10]
Canadian gals with pretty voices and catchy pop hooks.
6. Theory Hazit – Modern Marvels
[rating:7/10]
Has that typical ILLECT sound… which is a good thing.
7. Jason Mundok – The Other Side
[rating:7.5/10]
More enjoyable music from this Lancaster folkster.
(Full review coming soon, so check back!)
8. Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
[rating:6/10]
Gone are the Demon Days, welcome to the lackluster days.
9. Broken Bells – Broken Bells
[rating:7.5/10]
Redemption for the disappointing Gorillaz album released the same day.
10. To Write a Riot – Free EP
[rating:3/10]
Taking pop punk to even greater heights of generic mediocrity.
either way, we can drive all night... 
i didn’t love plastic beach on first listen, but it’s grown on me. same as demon days.
Demon Days was so stellar. I can’t believe anyone had to let it “grow on them”. Plastic Beach just seems so boring and blaise compared to Demon Days.

[…] Gorillaz Plastic Beach Plastic Beach=Fail. Where’s the funky beats and fun lyrics? Alicia rates this album 4 out of 10 (TPM feels quite similarly) […]
