Back in early April, we somehow came into (legit) possession of the new Cracker album about six weeks before it was due in stores.  I had planned a feature, but I scrubbed it at the last minute, and postponed it to a day closer to the release date.  Well, that day came and went and, due to distractions and a few albums I was a bit more excited about, we never got around to featuring the album.  At least, until tonight.  Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey finally gets its night.

Here’s the rundown.

Rise Against “Savior”
Take Cover “Resolution”

Several years ago the song “Grey Sky Eyes” made me a Carbon Leaf fan, and their new album Nothing Rhymes with Woman doesn’t do anything to change my mind.  The album is solid all around, but there’s no big time single that will finally propel this band to the heights they should be at.
