Low Expectations; Blown Eardrums; Eager Bounce

I've been listening to a lot of CDs lately that have compeletely turned my head around and made me nearly vomit all over the floor. They're that good. These mentioned CDs coming from artists I've enjoyed in the past, but who I'd expected to fall away into the abyss. Here are some examples. In case you ever wondered what happened to "that band," need you look no further.

The Living End's State of Emergency



Vaux's Beyond Virtue, Beyond Vice





















Cursive's Happy Hollow



Lost Prophet's Liberation Transmission


Of course you may find it more benefitial and worthy to ignore my voice altogether. I recommend you read the Pitchfork reviews (for the albums they do have on there). Or just listen to them yourself.
