»Album Reviews For Release Date: 1215.09-01.10

OK I’ll admit it: I’m ready for a vacation. For some reason, even with all the familial warmth, excess foodage and generally convivial sense of joy in the air, the holidays just suck the energy out of me. Luckily, they suck the names off the new release roster as well — from last week through the end of the year, there’s barely anything worth mentioning. I made you a list, and checked it twice, so down some eggnog and enjoy:
12.15.09:
Animal Collective – Fall Be Kind EP
Bunny Billy
Alicia Keys
Julian Lennon & James Scott Cook
George Lopez
OST – Avatar
Shiny Toy Guns – remixes
Robin Thicke
Phil Vassar
Paul Weller
Willowz
12.22.09:
Mary J Blige
Eminem
Hurricane Chris
Dave Matthews Band – new live DVD collection
Mudvayne
OST – Nine
The Rasmus – best of 2001-2009
Young Money
…and here’s a few you can look forward to (or look forward to mocking) in the new year’s first week:
01.05.10:
Ke$ha
Katharine McPhee
Weezer – rarities
Kanye West – Storytellers
That’s enough new releases. Stay tuned for the Awesome List, it’s imminent. Until then, stay frosty… or actually, stay warm — the whole eastern U.S. is pretty frosty anyway…
