I know these albums aren’t necessarily “new”, but if you haven’t purchased them yet, you’ve just got to!

THE HIVES – Black and White Album

 

Back and more explosive than ever are The Hives. Kicking the album off with the world famous track Tick Tick Boom. By some sources; voted the greatest live band ever: the Swedish Quartet now has three US released full-length albums under its belt. Shifting from solid and energetic to random and just plain odd at times (the track Giddy Up!? What the…) this album is overall a great listen. “..They say the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result..”. @#&%in right.

RADIOHEAD – In Rainbows

 

On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record’s innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band’s own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else of similar stature hadn’t done it sooner. In Rainbows is entertaining and inviting, and the most low-key album Radiohead has made to date.
