Modest Mouse -- We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

  Man ... I always found the singers voice annoying, but I thought since Johnny Marr plays guitar on this album maybe it won't be so bad ... I was wrong ... it's worse!

John Lee Hooker -- Mad Man Blues

  Within the throws of an existentially fueled depression it's hard not to try and find something that would make you feel better, worse or merely understood.  There is nothing like a legendary bluesman to coerce your mind out of the pit of despaired loneliness.  John Lee has the ability to appeal to our timeless raw emotions, he is a man in touch with pure feeling, whether it's good, bad or ugly, add in his striking voice and killer guitar playing -- you've got something irreplaceable!

Mother Mother -- Eureka

  So there I was having a complete nervous breakdown, luckily for me my friend was in the same boat at the same time, we wallowed in our collective misery together.  Her distraction to my overwhelming anxiety was showing me Mother Mother videos, trying to gain my minds focus on the pretty girls in the band ... which somewhat worked on my dirty mind ... but at the same time I was having a problem getting over their 80's obsessed Disco sound, I always wondered why people flock to one of the worst era's of all time, not saying there wasn't good sh*t, but it's a definite low point for humanity.  Honestly I'm not even sure that the tracks she was playing for me were from this album ... but let's just say they were!  

The Meteors -- Bastard Sons Of A Rock 'n' Roll Devil

  The original archetype of Psychobilly, The Meteors.  This album isn't even comparable to their early releases, the lyrics are cheesy as sin, and the sound is the same old stuff they've been doing for decades, with that being said it still kicks ass! 

Klaatu -- 3:47 EST

  Known primarily for possibly being The Beatles who had secretly reunited, which just ended up being a hoax.  Klaatu mixed Californian Sunshine Pop with Sgt. Pepper psychedelia.  Honestly they just sounded like a mediocre 60's band that came out in the 70's, with vocals that resembled the fab four, but are hardly anything to write home about ... 

Social Distortion

  There is something I really want to like about this album ... but I simply don't.  The production is tinny, the songs are cheesy and they just sound like a poor man's Replacements.  I'm not saying Social D sucks, their previous albums rock and the next one kills it, but this self-titled release does not cut the mustard.

Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends

  Political boisterous British buffoon "Screaming" Lord Sutch and the to be founder of The Official Monster Raving Loony Party.  This complete idiot somehow had the charismatic power to convince, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins, John Bonham and Noel Redding, to play on his album.  There are moments of almost good music, but all in all the record just sounds like a goddamn joke, and a bad one at that ...
