- Ex-Elefante singer Reyli Barba delivers his second album Fe (Faith), inspiring Prodigy MSN Entretenimiento to gush over the "exceptional record" for its "poetry, creativity [and] talent." According to La Oreja, the "spiritual" album is filled with songs of “hope and faith.”
- Veteran industrial rock outfit Nine Inch Nails returns with Year Zero, a concept album with an equally ambitious multimedia marketing campaign. The Village Voice exclaims: “In the grandly dubious pantheon of dystopian concept albums, Year Zero is incalculably better than stuff like Deltron 3030 or Billy Idol’s Cyberpunk.” Billboard.com is impressed by the streamlined production which is “NIN’s least-busy and funkiest" to date.
- Teen-idol-turned-actress Hilary Duff is back on the music scene with her third release, Dignity. Entertainment Weekly gives her a B+, describing the album as “100 percent electro-pop, awash in bleeping synths and multitracked vocals delivered with a newfound petulance.” The Guardian UK is pleased with la Duff’s transformation into a "moody electro princess, with a dark hairstyle to match.”
- Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing is the singer’s most aggressive, in-your-face effort yet, according to Jam! Showbiz, who calls it her "loudest, fastest and punkiest album.” U-Wire admits that it features "more of the same guilty pleasures she’s been offering since she donned a wifebeater and tie.”
- Fangoria, the legendary electronic duo from Spain, release El Extraño Viaje (The Strange Journey) in America. Spanish blogzine Notodo.com laments that the voyage is "strange" and "very inconsistent this time around.” Mexican magazine Sputnik warns, "after track seven, the trip may become a bit tedious."
