METACRITIC SCORE : 81
Read the reviews

Employment - Kaiser Chiefs
 Try not to worry too much about where it comes from, or who else it may or may not sound like. Instead, enjoy a record that is quintessentially British, without pretension and most importantly, a whole lot of fun.
METACRITIC SCORE : 75

Push The Button - The Chemical Brothers
 An evolution in big beat and sweet dance-pop loyalty as hard-hitting as their mid-'90s works "Exit Planet Dust" or "Dig Your Own Hole."
METACRITIC SCORE : 68
Read the reviews

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning - Bright Eyes
 I'm Wide Awake weaves the personal and the political more fluidly than most singers even care to try, and the consummate tunefulness just strengthens those moments where he pinches a nerve.
