Rogue Wave – Descended Like Vultures

This album cemented me as a fan of Rogue Wave’s music. I own “Out Of The Shadow,” but it never affected me or garnered that many listens like “Descended Like Vultures” does. “Publish My Love” has been a seen on many bloggers lists for song of the year, and deservingly so.

For you Madison readers, you get a chance to see this album and its predecessor come alive at the Annex on March 4th, when Rogue Wave opens for Nada Surf.

What the critics say:

Stylus Magazine – C
Metacritic.com – 69/100
Pitchfork – [7.8]

Madison readers, buy it locally from B-Side Records. If you’re a Milwaukee reader, may I suggest Atomic Records. Please support either store if you live in Madison or Milwaukee.
