    Congotronics 2: Buzz'N'Rumble From The Urb'N'Jungle
    It didn't take long to turn the novel clank and grind of Kinshasa junkyard techno assault unit Konono No. 1 into an easy-to-use formula with enormous money-making potential.

    With Strings Live At Town Hall
    Live fails to replicate the experience of seeing Eels.

    The Minus 5 [The Gun Album]
    The quality of the compositions is consistent and the album has an overall stylistic coherence that makes the Minus Five sound very much like a real band. Now, if he could only figure out how to make it rock, he'd be onto something.

    Sun, Sun, Sun
    At its best, The Elected offers moments of quirky intrigue – a brassy horn here, a hidden banjo there – reminiscent of the Long Winters' chamber-pop, but in general it's a bit too safe.

    Firewater
    Their beats and rhymes reflect none of the punchliney fun they used to have.

    For The Season
    This could be any novice eight-track job recorded in a basement or garage, but at least For The Season comes off like the work of a real band for a change.
