    Beast Moans
    This is easily the biggest disappointment of 2006.

    Ys
    No album will ever move you quite like it, and if it weren't for a slight misstep, it would be perfect in almost every way.

    So Divided
    Pick your adjective[:] Over-the-top, anthemic, epic.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    An Other Cup
    Full of spirituality and hope, these new songs lack a thrust.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In The Absence Of Truth
    Every strong point is matched by a weaker one, but there is never an extremity of either.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    "Pussy Cats" Starring The Walkmen
    Pussy Cats Starring the Walkmen more than makes up for the lackluster A Hundred Miles Off.

    Calamity
    The problems start with the production, which feels empty and stolid, the guitar plunking around like it has nowhere important to go and the drums tap-tap-tapping out mundane, aimless little shuffle rhythms.

    World Waits
    Listening to World Waits, you get the feeling that it would be a more enjoyable record if Enigk didn't execute every single note with such immense, ridiculous fervor.

    Hello Everything
    Hello Everything is his most disappointing release yet.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Micah P. Hinson And The Opera Circuit
    It’s not that The Opera Circuit doesn’t sound pleasant, or that his lyrics aren’t solid; they just don’t hit me as being all that moving or even mildly engaging.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Normal Happiness
    Either too sugary or too bitter and complacent, Normal Happiness is a strictly a family affair.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Be Still Please
    Oddly familiar but strikingly different.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Remember The Night Parties
    Formerly a more stolidly post-punk outfit, their bread and butter on Remember the Night Parties are the kind of R.E.M.-meets-Superchunk anti-anthems of “For the Khakis and Sweatshirts” and “Return /of Burno.”

    This Harness Can't Ride Anything
    There’s really no good reason to seek this out if you already own the... debut album.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Meek Warrior
    Each track feels more like a costume change than a true exploration of new waters, as the group's newfound love of blustery free-for-all psych ultimately has more to do with the members' broad record collections than their ability to function as versatile musicians.

    Boys And Girls In America
    The band's strongest offering to date.
    • 79 Metascore

    DFA Remixes: Chapter 2
    This rocks.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gang Of Losers
    So, no, this isn't the sound of The Dears taking it to the next level, but the level they're on is still pretty solid.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The Crane Wife
    The band's most ambitious, mind-blowing, and best record yet.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Friendly Fire
    Lennon isn’t attempting to re-invent the wheel with Friendly Fire; he’s just writing a narrative using thoroughly enjoyable pop melodies.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    On Leaving
    Her words read and speak like a haunting.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ta-Dah
    So what if Scissor Sisters aren't challenging the conventions of pop music?... [Ta-Dah is] great and will please their fans.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Knives Don't Have Your Back
    Essentially, Haines' piano playing and singing are lovely, but Knives' timidity, coupled with mundane and occasionally outright bad lyrics, keep this record in check.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Human Animal
    As close to perfect as a noise album can be.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Outsider
    The Outsider screams to be downloaded in sections by fans of specific genres.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Return To Cookie Mountain
    Return To Cookie Mountain is one for the ages.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Amputechture
    Amputechture, though not near as spam-handed as Frances, is a bumpy ride, registering somewhere between the latter and debut full-length De-Loused in the Comatorium.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    So This Is Goodbye
    In the end, Junior Boys' improved skills at constructing pop songs within their fantastic sonic template is more than enough to make So This Is Goodbye one of my favorite releases of 2006 so far.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass
    Good luck finding a better straight-up indie-pop/indie-rock record this year (save TV On The Radio) that's as uninhibited, unique, and flawlessly all-over-the-place as I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Into The Blue Again
    In its many moments offering something warm and comfortable, Into the Blue Again might have been able to gain the status of one of those albums that could settle restless nerves, but this undercurrent of coldness counteracts this idea, leaving some tracks unsatisfying, passable rather than pleasing.
