Pearl Jam’s highly anticipated ninth studio release, “Backspacer,” is finally officially out this week, and it’s just pure goodness, folks! Don’t believe me? Check out Al’s review for a glimpse.

Hate it or love it, the new Muse album, with its new bigger than life sound, is out this week, much to my personal delight. A lot of good, and bad things alike, have been said about “The Resistance,” but the truth lies somewhere in between I guess. It’s just a matter of taste and [...]
