 Era Vulgaris
Interscope
B-
The truth is that Nic Oliveri is missed. And after a dismal performance called Lullabies to Paralyze, Queens of the Stone Age needed to provide fans with something into which they could sink their teeth. Something dense, something clever, something furtive, something tasty. Era Vulgaris hits them all at various points, and sometimes with a mix of two or three. Never all four at once, which might be the only negative regarding the whole record.

 Feist
The Reminder
Cherrytree/Interscope
A
Feist is proof positive that female Canadian singers are not all dull as dishwater -- like, say, the animatronic and aging Ann Murray. Furthermore, she surrounds herself with many of the coolest Great Northerners, such as Ron Sexsmith, who helped her write “Brandy Alexander,” and Ben Mink (k.d. lang’s right hand man), who arranged “1234.” In her own unassuming way, Feist is an exciting new discovery.

 The Used
Lies for the Liars
Reprise Records
A+
First things first, do you know how hard it is to tell people to go out and get the new Used CD? They look at you, think for a second, then it clicks. But anyway, you have to go get the new Used CD. It is brilliant. These guys did not disappoint in their newest installment, Lies for the Liars.

 Carina Round
Slow Motion Addict
WME/ Interscope Records
B+
Carina Round’s new album Slow Motion Addict gives hope to those of us who are tired of poppy girl singer’s with empty lyrics and pretty faces. Slow Motion Addict is Round’s third album and the follow up to her critically acclaimed The Disconnect. This album delivers many toe tapping tunes that are guided by Round’s sulpherous yet sweet voice.

 Maroon 5
It Won’t Be Soon Before Long
A&M/Octone
B
I’m not sure if I get the whole Maroon 5 thing. They’re popular with the young ladies no doubt, in the same way Backstreet Boys -- and the like -- were all the rage back during the boy band heyday. But this quintet plays its own instruments and poses like polished-looking rockers in front of a giant neon letter “M” on the cover of this disc.
