You Say Party! We Say Die! — Hit The Floor!

Like a left-coast version of Controller.Controller, You Say Party! We Say Die! paint a sonic picture of a disco overrun by hopped-up goths.

It's not all about butt...

Not only does the top 50 chart feature a #1 album returning after a four week hiatus, but the former top album has plummetted so far down the chart that it isn't even in the top 15 this week. Additionally, two of 2009's longest charting albums make a...
