8-1.ĭ 8 48.3 - 48.4 West Fairbanks and down to Denali. I don't think Obama actually won Yukon - Koyukuk Census Area, but it's worth checkingĭ7 57.8 - 39.3 Northern outskirts of Fairbanks. 27-19 - lots of tiny precincts, and a few larger ones in the SE Fairbanks Census Area that are heavily Republican. Yakutat (which went for Bush in 2004) as well.ĭ6 62.1 - 34.4 Rural interior. Obama won the nation's newest county equivalent, Skagway Borough. Also trending quite Democratic.ĭ5 48.1 - 47.6 Rural parts of the panhandle and up to Cordova.
The historically Republican part of Juneau. This was always the most democratic district in Alaska, but it swung further.ĭ4 49.3 - 47.5 Juneau Mendenhall Valley. Pretty sure Obama won Sitka Borough (Kerry did too)ĭ3 32.4 - 64.4 Juneau Downtown, Douglas. 8-1 on precincts.ĭ2 52.2 - 44.7 Sitka, Wrangell, Petersburg. Ultimately, Fossora is another step in Björk’s perpetual evolution as an artistĬool It Down may be only eight tracks long but there’s so much to admire that you certainly don’t feel short-changed, in fact, it reinforces just how much they have been missed.Unlike in 2004 early votes are being reported by House District, so we get accurate totals again. With her 10th album, Björk is grounded back on earth, searching for hope in death, mushrooms, and matriarchy, and finding it in bass clarinet and gabber beatsĪ celebration of family, friendship and beats that bang hard Space and darkness area constant among these eight tight songs, but there’s also plenty of punch. Print edition onlyĮven though it's only eight tracks long - a rare example of the band having some chill - their fifth album feel like it's operating on a cosmic scale. If we can now safely conclude that the Pixies are unlikely to hit the heights of early days, then let’s face it, it’s the rare mortal who can but it’s also the only slightly less rare mortal who can make albums as solidly good as this one. The metal band's final album on Roadrunner Records may seem the end of an era, but the next phase is poised to be equally compelling 3, but it offers depth, discomfort and danger to those willing to dive into the recesses of The Nine’s collective consciousnes It’s perhaps not as instantaneous as the debut, as vile as Iowa or as catchy as Vol. The songs on this album aren't going to be overshadowing the classics that the band built their name on, but they'll sit nicely alongside them, and The End, So Far is a worthy addition to Slipknot's raucous arsenal
Throughout the album, Taylor’s voice is more confident than it’s sounded in some time Slipknot continue to mingle their snarl with a honed pop sense The kind of failure that will take more than some positive motivation to shake off They remain one step away from Chris deBurgh and three away from Starsailor
Stands as proof positive that playing it safe is not always the best optionīritish keyboard band repudiates '80s pop that made them fleetingly fun, returns to faux-epic mountaintop ballads Marks a sad reversion to Coldplay territory after Keane's tentative experimentation on recent releasesĪnother album of solid, unchallenging MOR indie lighter-wavers with which they hope to win over/anaesthetise the summer festival crowd Though Strangeland gradually loses its allure and indeed eventually runs out of steam, the urge to dive straight back into the album upon its conclusion ultimately prevailsĪt times it's catchy, but its maudlin ballads and monochrome synth-pop production are also kind of dullĭrenched in reverb-heavy piano, Chicken Soup for the Soul maxims and moderately maudlin musings about not being young any more When they are at their best on Strangeland they harness some sort of Manic Street Preachers vibe – while at their worst you could confuse the songs for a new Train album Those glimpses on Perfect Symmetry of something flashier and sexier make this retreat to familiarity a somewhat saddening step backwardsĪnother accomplished, warm, and welcoming record Keane are rather brilliant at being Keane, and we all know what Keane are about, don't we? Generally Strangeland is all too familiar fare. Strangeland isn't much of a diversion from their fame-bringing formula. Keane are, in this writer's opinion at least, underrated but Strangeland feels just a bit by the numbersĪ pleasant, passable album that’s sure to delight the mums They have succeeded in putting together a robust collection of piano-pop songs that, while not exactly being inflammatory in their appeal, will steady their ship somewhat Resistance is futile, because what Keane perfect in these stadium-swelling anthems is the meticulous yet ineffable melodic progression that goes straight for the emotional reflex Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent review
