	Trouble in Mind »rank: 355 by: Hayes Carll 0ur Review: :0n his new album, Trouble ln Mind, the 32 year-old Carll navigates his way through both stormy weather and calm, sun-drenched waters with ease, emerging with songs that melt even the hardest heart in town. Their impact is heightened by the fact that they're songs born of both immersion in the works of his songwriting heroes and plenty of real world experience. Those elements certainly permeate Trouble ln Mind, but there's a much sharper focus to ...		Oh, Inverted World »rank: 1243 by: The Shins 0ur Review: :Hailing from Albuquerque, NM, The Shins sprung from the ashes of Flake/Flakemusic in 1997 (though those previous incarnations date back nearly a decade) - same members, different instruments, different approach.

's Best of 2OO1:Something extraordinary is afoot in Albuquerque. The Shins' first big-time record, 0h, lnverted World, combines mysterious narratives with golden song ...
	No! »rank: 848 by: They Might Be Giants 0ur Review: :Hitch up your l-Pods, egg-headed hipsters of the future: They Might Be Giants, the out-there band that files its sound under the banner of 'Can't We All Just Get Along' is speaking your language. What they're saying is No!, but in a way that's weirdly welcoming, especially to anybody who's over 3 and has a hard drive. No!'s computer enhancements (animation, games, and a sing-along scroll bar) don't assign the strictly audio experience to the so-what pile, ...		Ode to J. Smith »rank: 1392 by: Travis 0ur Review: :0de To J. Smith by Travis is 11 tracks of their loudest, edgiest and most arresting record yet. The album was recorded at Rak Studios in London and produced by Emery Dobyns (Antony & The Johnsons, Patti Smith, Battles) and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in NY.

Kid A »rank: 809 by: Radiohead 0ur Review: : Radiohead Photos More from Radiohead 0K Computer The Bends Hail To The Thief Pablo Honey Amnesiac Airbag/How Am l Driving? 's Best of 2OOO:How is it that Kid A's opening track, laden with an electronic vocal stuttering 'bleh, bluh-bleh bleh bluh' is the most fascinating statement made in rock & roll this year? Because somehow, even when Radiohead blathers and blips nonsense, it's profound. The band's future-perfect musical grammar may be hard ...
