Alrighty, we've reached double-digits now. Here's what we've got this time around:

bdg: The Rocket Summer - Hello Good Friend (Clips)
bloop: Steven Malkmus, Face the Truth (Clips)
Brenden: Kids in the Way, Apparitions of Melody (Clips)
Danny: Bill Mallonee, Perfumed Letter (Clips)
Josh: Joe Henry, A Murder of Crows (Clips)
murlough: Corrinne May, Safe in a Crazy World (Clips)
worldofcm: Peculiar People Band, Not Ashamed (Clips)

I've decided that this will be the third-to-last round, with the game ending at Round 12. Hope that's OK with everybody.

Kids In the Way's cd is a step forward for the band. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. As a fan I'm pleased. 3 stars

I almost gave Bill Mallonee a 3 because his sound is really consistent on this album, but I decided to go with a 4 instead because of some subtler things that I noticed on later listens. 4 stars.

A Murder of Crows is such a far cry from the brilliance of Tiny Voices and Scar that I was tempted to go with 2 stars, but it's really not all that bad. There are enough enjoyable songs and memorable lyrical turns to make it a solid 3 star album.

The best word to describe Peculiar People Band - "Eh?"

3 stars

Oh yeah, next round - NewSong, Rescue

Looks like I got a little overzealous with the 2-star guesses there.

Anyway, I'm going to give Corrinne May 3 stars. It pains me to do that because she's a wonderful person and she has this knack for writing words and melodies that just melt me. But she really took a turn towards generic pop on this album that rubbed me the wrong way. I like the cutesy lyrics on some tracks in spite of myself - it makes her unique and playful. But some of these songs are just generic and boring... and hey, didn't she used to play the acoustic guitar? I miss that.

You rock! I think I'm going to do that one, too, just to see how we differ.
