Quick Hits 2/11/11 (Album Reviews)

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead * Tao Of The Dead - An unnecessary, uninspired album from a band that has been on a steady decline over the past half-decade. (C-)

PJ Harvey * Let England Shake - A grippingly austere tour of Polly Jean's homeland, told through intoxicating & shadowy melodies, but brought down by lyrics that get repetitive halfway through. (B)

James Blake * James Blake - Despite a brilliant take on Feist's "Limit to Your Love," the much buzzed about dubstepper's debut full-length fails to live up to the hype, often times sounding like Antony Hegarty drowning in a shallow pool of gelatin. (B-)

CUT COPY * Zonoscope - A punchy, bouncy, in-your-face dance rock extravaganza that only fun-haters would hate. (B+)
