Datura’s Honorable Mentions of 2004

PJ Harvey – Uh Huh Her

Back to her roots and older sound. This album has a few high points mixed in with a few boring ones. Listen to Shame, The Letter

Hopesfall – A Types

I’m just starting to get into this CD. I think this may end up being a favorite, but since it’s so new to me, I couldn’t count it in the top 10. Listen to Per Sempre Marciamo, Champion Beyond Blessing

Jimmy Eat World – Futures

I love these guys. When I can’t find anything to fit my mood, this album always works. Listen to Work, Night Drive, 23

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever To Tell

I love Karen O’s voice. And I love the crazy messy music. Another album with high points mixed in with low points. Listen to Rich, Pin, No No No
