I have to admit, I was quite underwhelmed by the new releases this week. First off, I don’t think there were that many new albums. I decided to use Amazon’s new release page as a reference to see if there was anything I missed, but there really wasn’t that much new stuff out there.

The stuff that *was* out there was very hit or miss. I can’t tell you of any album where I liked more songs than I disliked, but that’s not to say that I didn’t find a few gems amongst the haystack.

Which leads me to the following songs that are my choices for this week. Clicking on each link will take you to that particular album in the Zune Marketplace (software-side).
