New Albums 05.02.06

There are a couple albums of interest coming out today...

In case you forgot about Pearl Jam, they've released three outstanding albums since 2000. This new, self-titled record is the first released under the J label. Without question their hardest album to date, Pearl Jam keeps up the reputation as America's leading rock band. Lead by the single, "World Wide Suicide", the album is yet another notch under their belt. I'll have a full review after a couple more spins.

Mobb Deep also has an album coming out today, their first as members of the G-Unit family. The record, Blood Money, is their first proper release since 2004's Amerikaz Nightmare which spawned the club anthem "Got it Twisted." I haven't heard it yet, but anything from the duo that gave the world "Shook Ones Pt. II" has got to be at least decent. Stay tuned for a review.

Other new music that comes out today includes stuff from RJD2, Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and, oh yeah, some band named Tool.

Feel free to let me know if these (or any other albums) are worth checking out.
