M.I.A. -Kala
Thank the Lord for the paranoid U.S. border control, the one that forced this killer tiny lady to stay outside of the egg-crate walls of Timbaland’s hit making factory. A global sonic experience, this album brings a new world of fresh hitz.
Arcade Fire -Neon Bible
Praise be the Butler-Chassagne family, with their impeccable funeral fashion sense and their ability to craft beautiful track after awe-inspiring track. Leaving some of the dirth-like gloom of 2004’s Funeral behind, Neon Bible is a revelation of big-band sound matched with a lyrical landscape that conjures images of a modern-day agnostic Pentecostal traveling church group.
