Albums in rotation

Here is a list of some albums that I recently got my hands on, some good, some alright, some not.  Click the artist/band name for info about them and the album name for Amazon.com.  I have also listed my current favorite tracks from each album which are sure to change (there's a lot of new music here to choose from!)

Eminem - Recovery
I am not a die-hard Eminem fan but I do think he's entertaining.
Check out: Going Through Changes (love the Ozzy Osbourne sample here), Won't Back Down

Phoenix - It's Never Been Like That
After falling in love with their recent album, Wolfgang Amadeus, I wanted to give this one a try from 2006 and it's fantastic.
Check out:  Too hard to decide

The National - High Violet
The new album from a great band that I was introduced to while living in England.
Check out: Sorrow, England

Ok Go - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky
I'll be honest, these guys never really grabbed my attention but I had an urge to listen to this album and so far it's nice.
Check out: White Knuckles, While You Were Asleep

The XX - XX
I had heard of these guys a while back but never got my hands on the album until now. Really love their sound.
Check out: VCR, Night Time

Vampire Weekend - Contra
Similarly to Ok Go, I have never found myself craving anything by Vampy Wknd but have still wanted to give this album a shot.
Check out: Still deciding

Mystery Jets - Serotonin
I gave these guys a try when they released the album, Twenty One.  I liked it at first but it didn't stick.  I downloaded this new album and I liked it so much it made me start listening to Twenty One again.  I guess I just wasn't ready for them initially.
Check out: Too Late to Talk, many others

Discovery - LP
I heard about this band while in England as well but never gave them a try until now. I can honestly say this album is horrible.  It has it's moments but I do not like the overall package. Maybe it will grow on me.
Check out: Osaka Loop Line

Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line
Oldie but goodie
Check out: Run My Mouth

Yeasayer - Odd Blood / All Hour Cymbals
Hard to say what I like and don't like here.  Both albums are very different and have elements of good and bad.
Check out: Both albums are still growing on me

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
I heard about these guys a few months ago when I found a remix of their single Something Good Can Work and finally got around to getting the album.  Great stuff.
Check out: Something Good Can Work, Undercover Martyn

Big Boi (from Outkast) - Sir Lucious Left Foot...  The Son of Chico Dusty
I have always been a fan of Outkast as well as Big Boi's and Andre 3000's solo work. They are each unique artists and their sound is far from cookie-cutter hip-hop.  This album showcases that.
Check out: Daddy Fat Sax, Shutterbug
