	74 As Is Now by Paul Weller October 11, 2005 Weller's latest--his first disc of new material in three years-- is louder and rock-ier than other recent efforts. Metascore: 74 User Score: 8.4
	53 Dangerous And Moving by T.A.T.U October 11, 2005 Three years after their sensational debut (and we don't use that adjective in the way that means "outstanding"), it turns out that they aren't schoolgirls, and they aren't lesbians. But what the Russian duo does have on this second album is Sting. Now that's edgy! Metascore: 53 User Score: 8.0
	65 Gimmie Trouble by Adult. October 11, 2005 Adult.'s third LP finds Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus joined by a new guitarist, Sam Consiglio (Tamion 12 Inch). Metascore: 65 User Score: 7.0
	72 Several Arrows Later by Matt Pond October 11, 2005 This is the fifth album for the O.C.-endorsed band. Metascore: 72 User Score: 8.6
	65 dios (malos) by dios (malos) October 11, 2005 Phil Ek produced the second album for the band (formerly known as Dios) fronted by Joel Morales. Metascore: 65 User Score: 8.2

	69 Closing In by Early Man October 11, 2005 This debut LP from the guitar/drums duo of Mike Conte and Adam Bennati is defintely harder and heavier than your typical Matador release. Metascore: 69 User Score: 8.0
	84 Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple October 4, 2005 The singer-songwriter's third album finally sees the light of day after originally being shelved by her record label in 2003 and then leaked onto the Internet. This official 'Machine' is a newly-recorded version (with producer Mike Elizondo taking over for the original's Jon Brion), so if you've heard the leaked tracks, you haven't heard this. Let the comparisons begin! Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7
	82 Broken Social Scene by Broken Social Scene October 4, 2005 K-OS, Jason Tate (The Weakerthans) and Murray Lightburn (The Dears) guest on the Canadian collective's follow-up to 'You Forgot It In People.' Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.4
	83 You Could Have It So Much Better by Franz Ferdinand October 4, 2005 The Scottish band's eagerly-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed self-titled debut is preceded by yet another insanely catchy single, "Do You Want To." Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.3
	78 Witching Hour by Ladytron October 4, 2005 Jim Abbiss (Kasabian) produced this third album for the UK band, which finds them expanding slightly away their electroclash sound. Metascore: 78 User Score: 7.6

	86 Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team October 4, 2005 The fun, energetic collage of danceable, mainly instrumental music (genre names don't really apply here) on this debut disc from England's The Go! Team recalls, if only somewhat, the debut from The Avalanches. Metascore: 86 User Score: 8.7
	90 Z by My Morning Jacket October 4, 2005 For their fourth album, produced by John Leckie, the Kentucky band sports a new keyboardist and guitarist. Metascore: 90 User Score: 8.4
	54 Somebody's Miracle by Liz Phair October 4, 2005 After the critical lashing for her previous pop-oriented album, the singer-songwriter enlisted John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer) to produce this follow-up set. Metascore: 54 User Score: 6.4
	69 Throw Down Your Arms by Sinéad O'Connor October 4, 2005 O'Connor's first studio album since "retiring" from the music business consists of covers of a dozen reggae classics, including songs by Burning Spear, Peter Tosh and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Metascore: 69 User Score: 8.5
	80 Fall Heads Roll by The Fall October 4, 2005 Mark E. Smith & Co. return with their full-length follow-up to 'The Real New Fall LP.' Metascore: 80 User Score: 8.3
