[7] City Pages called it "a disappointment for longstanding fans," writing that "the days of front-to-back high-caliber Mason Jennings albums may have passed." [8] PopMatters wrote that In the Ever "more closely resembles a melancholy collection of American folk songs while sticking to [Jennings's] familiar themes: religion’s ambiguity, politics, and love."

Third is the third album by American rock band Big Star. Sessions started at Ardent Studios in September 1974.

It was eventually released in 1978 by PVC Records.

In Your Honor is the fifth studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on June 14, 2005, through Roswell and RCA Records. It is a double album, with the first disc containing heavy rock songs and the second containing mellower acoustic songs.

The album was recorded at a newly built studio in Northridge, Los Angeles, and features guests such as John Paul Jones, Norah Jones, and Josh Homme. Its lyrics deal with both resonating and introspective themes, with a major influence from Grohl's involvement on the campaign trail with John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election. It was the first album to feature keyboardist Rami Jaffee, although he would not join the band as full-time member until 2017.
