When the president talks to god does he ever think that maybe he's not--that that voice is just inside his head

The last title was from "Take the Skinheads Bowling" from Camper Van Beethoven

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead Worlds Apart-- Interscope
On their fourth album Worlds Apart, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead turn to the massive sound of prog-rock for inspiration, with uneven, but often fascinating, results. Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning --Saddle Creek
As you may have read elsewhere, Bright Eyes — a.k.a. Conor Oberst — releases not one, but two albums of all-new material this week. The first is I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, an acoustic-based collection that hearkens back to the heyday of singer/songwriters in the early '70s. The second is Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, an electronic-inflected indie-pop album not far removed from the Postal Service's Give Up. While I'm Wide Awake and Digital Ash may seem dissimilar on the surface, they're both unmistakably the work of a songwriter who is not nearly as gifted or compelling as his reputation would suggest. Indie Rock
Kenny Chesney Be as You Are (Songs From an Old Blue Chair) --BNA
Kenny Chesney returns this week with Be As You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair), the sequel to last year's chart-topping When the Sun Goes Down. In contrast to the polished, arena-ready When the Sun, Be As You Are is a relaxed, low-key collection of ballads and easy-rolling pop tunes that celebrate life in the Carribbean Islands, and it's one of Chesney's best albums to date. Neo-Traditionalist Country, Contemporary Country
Low The Great Destroyer --Sub Pop
Low's Sub Pop debut The Great Destroyer shows that the band can work on a big scale as well as an intimate one, and has all the beauty and emotion that fans have come to expect from a new Low album. Dream Pop, Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
