Best of 08 Update

Keane -Spiralling (Perfect Symmetry [2008])

This band is upbeat and pop oriented. This album isn't too bad though they seem to struggle a bit with their sound. This song is a perfect pop single and great to run to. It seems to me they nailed whatever it is they are trying to create with this song.

Jem - They (Finally Woken [2004])

This album is OK. It's like a lot of music out there, but this song is a big standout where she actually gets her best hook.

Lee Ann Womack - Last Call (Call Me Crazy [2008])

She did a good job on this album of picking out songs which have nice pop hooks. I think this song stands out above the rest of the album simply because it seems to have classic country lyrics, but with a nice modern country sound.

Saul Williams - Convict Colony (The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust [2008])

I think what this song shows is that more people should sample The Cure. I like the way they have used the opening hook from the song Torture to create the backdrop that the rest of the song sits atop. The album as a whole is entertaining but at no other time does it match up to this song.
