	63 Satan's Circus by Death in Vegas May 24, 2005 The duo's fourth album departs from previous outings, taking an all-instrumental (and guitar-free) approach rather than relying on guest vocalists. Think Kraftwerk and you won't be too far off. Metascore: 63 User Score: 7.6

	71 Kidnapped By Neptune by Scout Niblett May 10, 2005 The English singer-songwriter has drawn comparisons to PJ Harvey, Cat Power and even Kurt Cobain for her sometimes abrasive, sometimes minimal, bluesy sound. Metascore: 71 User Score: tbd

	70 Axes by Electrelane May 10, 2005 The Brighton, England band re-teams with producer Steve Albini, but downplays the vocals of prior outing 'The Power Out' in favor of a mainly instrumental approach similar to that of their debut. Metascore: 70 User Score: 8.1
	78 Mighty Rearranger by Robert Plant May 10, 2005 The Led Zeppelin singer's first full solo album of original songs in a dozen years finds him backed (as on 2002's 'Dreamland') by The Strange Sensation. Metascore: 78 User Score: 8.6
	84 Gimme Fiction by Spoon May 10, 2005 Mike McCarthy returns as producer for the Britt Daniel-led band's varied follow-up to their acclaimed 2002 outing 'Kill The Moonlight.' Spoon fans will not be disappointed. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7

	68 Hal by Hal May 10, 2005 The Dublin-based quartet debuts with a record filled with echoes of California circa the 1960s and 70s (think Brian Wilson) rather than Ireland. Metascore: 68 User Score: 7.7
