Evergreen Terrace
Wolfbiker
Metal Blade Records
A gnarly piece of post-hardcore with a metal edge and strange song titles. Wolfbiker will mostly appeal to the younger set. One of the best album covers to come out of the metal world in some time, to top it all off.

Yael Naim
Yael Naim
Atlantic Records
Don’t tell President Bush but Israelite singer Yael Naim has hit the mainstream with a #1 song on iTunes called “New Soul.” Her self-titled album features a host of ballads that seem as appealing as peace in the Middle East.

Ministry
Cover Up
Thirteenth Planet
Ministry and their friends put their industrial strength boots up the ass of rock and roll once again. This mean collection of covers includes renditions of classics like “Radar Love” and “Road House Blues,” making for a killer collection that fans can shake their piercings to.
