New Music Tuesday Time... Albums Of The Week

Wale - Attention Deficit

This is the long awaited Debut Album from the D.C. Rapper that was originally supposed to be released in September. However, Wale decided to go on tour, and the album was delayed up until now. The first single, ‘Chillin’’, featuring Lady Gaga was an instant success as well as an indicator on what was to come from the rapper. All in all a very well produced and eclectic album, which includes many other collaborations and guests such as, Jazmine Sullivan, Gucci Mane, Bun B, The Neptunes, Cool & Dre, Producer Mark Ronson, as well as many more. A definite must have this week.


Dashboard Confessional - Alter The Ending

This is the 6th studio album from the Emo-Alternative rockers, and will be released in 2 versions: 1 acoustic, the other original. The entire album had already been released a week previous, only as a pre-listen via MySpace, but the first single ‘Belle of The Boulevard’ was released in October. A must have for the many Dashboard fans, as well as the rest of the listening community.


Flyleaf - Memento Mori

This is the 2nd album from the Alternative Rock band, and there are no signs of a Sophomore slump here. Instead, it looks as if the star is rising even more for this group. The title f the album, translated from Latin, ‘Be Mindful of Death’, reminds us of the original influence from this album, which is primarily rooted in Christian Rock. A heavy and deep album, it originally had 30 songs written, in which half were chosen. The 1st single, ‘Again’, was released in late August, and the 2nd single, ‘Beautiful Bride’, was released in October. A must have for this week.


Switchfoot - Hello Hurricane

This is the 7th studio album from the Christian/Alternative Hard rockers, and was originally under production in 2007. However, many delays occurred along the way, as different record companies’ decisions helped stall the release of the album. Its first single, ‘Mess of Me’, was originally played in concert, the 2nd single. A must have this week.


Hollywood Undead - Desperate Measures

This is the 2nd studio album from the Rap-Metal group, and what a refreshing surprise it is. Already MySpace Music legends, it was time for the group to take the next step and release this album, after having many singles & demos, and having their previous debut, ‘Swan Songs’, be a hit with the Madden NFL crowd. Look for this to be a sleeper hit…
