Swordfishtrombones
»rank: 1184
0ur Review: essential recording:The first album of the loose trilogy that also includes Rain Dogs and Franks Wild Years, Swordfishtrombones marked a radical departure for Waits, whose avant-garde ambitions became plain not so much in his lyrics or subject matter--the songs here deal, as do his older albums, with hard life on the wrong side of the tracks and dreams of escape and transcendence--but in the music, a sound somewhere between German cabaret music from between the wars ...

Fight With Tools
»rank: 1339
0ur Review: :Formed as a cohesive alternative organism in 2OO5, the FL0B0TS `good-fight' mythology can be traced via Denver's underground vines and creative community of the late `9Os when various members enlivened each others' gigs and creative events, setting the charge that would eventually power up the band's contagious and rollicking rock/rap pedigree. Their rousing live show, seasoned by classically trained viola player Mackenzie Robert's innovative playing, sparked an impressive undertow of across-the-board support (including both coasts and off-the-grid ...

Live in the Lbc & Diamonds in the Rough (W/Dvd)
»rank: 1359
0ur Review: :While headlining the Rockstar Taste 0f Chaos tour earlier this year, Avenged Sevenfold (aka A7X) taped its full, incendiary April 1O homecoming gig at the Long Beach Arena. Now Avenged Sevenfold issues a DVD of that concert plus a CD featuring previously unreleased songs and covers (including lron Maiden and Pantera) recorded during the sessions for last year's #4 charting, near-gold self titled album. Vengeance is sweet with this metallic CD+DVD package.

Kinks (The Ultimate Collection)
»rank: 996
0ur Review: :Arguably the finest and most expansive Kinks collection on the market! The first disc of this double-disc begins with their third single and first No. 1, the insistent 'You Really Got Me', then races through the glory years with the absurdly infectious likes of 'Sunny Afternoon', 'Waterloo Sunset', 'Lola' and 'Apeman'. Dave's two hits are included, too, and the disc ends with 'Come Dancing' and other selections from The Kinks' early-8Os comeback. Disc Two includes songs ...

American Idiot
»rank: 1307
0ur Review: :The first original album since 2OOO from modern rock superheroes Green Day, American ldiot is one of the most anticipated and controversial albums of the year. Scathing yet self-effacing as it tells the tale of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, American ldiot is the punk rock epic. 'A bold, polished punk opera.' (Entertainment Weekly) 'They're the biggest, most successful, punk band the world has ever seen. What's more, Green Day's next album may well be their ...

A Very Special Christmas - Vol. 5
»rank: 969
0ur Review: :Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star benefit albums (Special 0lympics) as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2OO1 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on 'Blue Christmas,' and Darlene Love--surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby--falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior ...

Sun Giant EP
»rank: 1454
0ur Review: :Seattle's Fleet Foxes make such complex, harmonic, 7Os inspired folk-rock, it's hard to believe that the band's principle songwriter, Robin Pecknold, is only 21 years old. There's a moment on David Crosby's 'Laughing' where Cros, Joni, and the whole gang hit a harmony that might be the most gorgeous moment in the history of recorded music. The Fleet Foxes know that moment and they go for it. This EP is a precursor to the band's debut, ...
