Machine Gun Etiquette
The Damned
I really liked this one - I was not familiar with the album or the band prior to this listen. You can hear their influences in their music and you can feel who they subsequently influenced. Fun, upbeat music with a driving beat, but not as atonal as some punk can be. This is very accessible punk.

Juju
Siouxsie And The Banshees
This is not my favorite style of music, but it was listenable. I actually liked the first three songs ("Spellbound"; "Into the Light"; and "Arabian Knights") quite a bit, really liked the guitar and drums. To my untrained ears, this album sounded like a mashup of The Doors/Jefferson Airplane/Rush, which shouldn't work, but somehow it does.

Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
I really liked this one. I remember hearing of Jurassic 5, but I can't say that I have ever actually listened to them before now. This was great - really fun, great lyrics, and some really interesting social commentary. I really enjoy this genre, kind of an alternative hip-hop. It reminded me of A Tribe Called Quest, Us3, and The Roots.

Moondance
Van Morrison
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, so I am a little biased in this review. From the start, it is just something you want to live in for a little while, letting his voice and those amazing melodies wash over you. Five stars, no notes.
And yes, I am conflicted about how I feel about this music versus how I feel about the artist.
