• Add N To X - Avant Hard [ Almost Cool: ] - Aaron Coleman's review: "When a group is using such cold sounding machines, it's hard to make them sound inviting, but they've definitely gotten a lot closer with this release." Rated 7.25.
• Add N To X - On The Wires Of Our Nerves [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "The trio takes ancient instruments like Moogs and old keyboards and filter clunky and weird sounds through them to produce electronic landscapes that alternate from jarring to soothing and everything in between." Rated 6.
• Aereogramme - A Story In White [ Almost Cool: ] - Aaron Coleman's review: "For when you can't decide what mood you're in, but you're feeling passionate about something, this is an excellent disc to have playing." Rated 7.5.
• Air - Moon Safari [ Almost Cool: ] - Aaron Coleman's review: "Not something you'd listen to everyday, Moon Safari makes for a good diversion." Rated 7.
• The Album Leaf - An Orchestrated Rise To Fall [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "Overall, it's a good little side project release and makes for good Saturday morning listening." Rated 7.
• Album Leaf - One Day I'll Be on Time [Pitchfork:] - Christopher F. Schiel's review: "for the most part, One Day I'll Be on Time is about minimalism: minimal song variation, minimal melodic creativity, minimal staying power." Rated 5.9.
• And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "There are a couple tracks on the disc that don't really do much, but overall it's a pretty solid debut album from the group with the long, interesting name." Rated 7.25.
• The Apes: The Fugue in the Fog [Pitchfork:] - Matt LeMay's review: "There's a ridiculous amount of potential here, but oftentimes that potential goes unexplored." Rated 7.8.
• Dismemberment Plan - Change [Pitchfork:] - Ryan Schreiber's review: "Though devoid of the urgency the band built their name on, Change is the most musically cohesive of the Dismemberment Plan's records to date." Rated 8.6.
• Dot Allison - Afterglow [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "If you're looking for something more beat driven, head elsewhere, but if you want an atmospheric pop album with dreamy vocals, this will suffice." Rated 7.
• Edith Frost - Wonder Wonder [Pitchfork] - John Dark's review: "With this album, Frost moves beyond comparisons with others who may have a similar birthmark on their music or timbre to their voice, and should now be firmly entrenched as the benchmark for intelligent, eclectic, eccentric folk-pop." Rated 8.7.
• Eric Alexandrakis - IV Catatonia [Almost Cool: ] - Aaron Coleman's review: "Overall, the album is a very nicely produced (with a bit of a rough edge) slab of more experimental pop music." Rated 6.75.
• Heavenly: Heavenly vs. Satan [Pitchfork:] - John Dark's review: "So much more than just a key historical listen, the music on this Heavenly reissue does more than merely justify K Records' effort; it makes it an imperative." Rated 8.5.
• John Cale - Sun Blindness Music [Pitchfork:] - Luke Buckman's review: "Sun Blindness Music is a portrait of an artist engaged in the maturing process, actively seeking out new sounds while simultaneously breaking down barriers of the old." Rated 8.5.
• June Panic: The Silver Sound Sessions [Pitchfork:] - Daphne Carr's review: "All told, The Silver Sound Sessions is a pretty solid record coming from a guy with such a history of isolated bedroom emoting." Rated 7.4.
• Kid606 - P.S. You Love Me [Pitchfork:] - Mark Richard-San's review: "The talent involved here is evident, but as an album, P.S. You Love Me lacks tension." Rated 6.8.
• Leo Anibaldi - Void [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "It's creepy and dark and perfect for being locked up in a winter storm." Rated 7.
• A Minor Forest - Flemish Altruism [Almost Cool:] - Aaron Coleman's review: "It's a strange album, not only because it was their first one and not only because the 10 songs are split between two producers, but because many of the songs on the album have that bipolar feel to them as well." Rated 7.5.
• Mogwai - My Father My King EP [Pitchfork:] - Christopher F. Schiel's review: "I haven't heard anything this fat and heavy since I spun Barry White and Rage Against the Machine simultaneously during a schizophrenic frat party DJ set." Rated 8.6.
• Need New Body - Need New Body [Pitchfork:] - Jason Nickey's review: "This album knows it's good, and if you can't see that, well, it doesn't need you." Rated 8.9.
• Quasi - Early Recordings [Pitchfork:] - Matt LeMay's review: "While there are certainly a few excellent moments on Early Recordings, they only reveal themselves to people who are willing to wade through 19 severely spotty tracks." Rated 5.2.
• Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit [Pitchfork:] - Jason Nickey's review: "Sufjan Stevens proves himself adept of both long and short forms; downtempo and high BPM; glitches, scratches and ambient drones; blips, bleeps and bloops." Rated 7.7.
• Takagi Masakatsu - Pia [Pitchfork:] - Malcolm Seymour III's review: "It works fine as wallpaper-- too understated to scare anyone off, too abstract to be readily transparent." Rated 4.0.
• Utah! - Zoo Sounds and Destructovision EP [Pitchfork:] - Joe Tangari's review: "Unfortunately, Utah! haven't quite perfected their sound yet here, and it makes for a fairly unmemorable record." Rated 5.9.
• Yoko Ono - Blueprint for a Sunrise [Pitchfork:] - Dominique Leone's review: "In short, I respect Ono's art; I just can't listen to a lot of it." Rated 5.6.
