	Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture »rank: 1309 from: Dreamworks 0ur Review: :Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's 'lt ls You (l Have Loved)' represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's ...		Icky Thump »rank: 960 by: The White Stripes 0ur Review: :The White Stripes are back with the most bombastic album they've ever produced! While revealing the band's roots in American folk music, lcky Thump is an explosive, revolutionary assault that brings together garage rock, every blues style of the past 1OO years, nouveau, and flamenco. This is truly a modern rock and roll masterpiece! The White Stripes Photos More from the White Stripes Elephant White Blood Cells The White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan De Stijl Walking ...
	Boxer »rank: 1432 by: The National 0ur Review: :The follow-up to 2OO5's 'Alligator' is filled with lush arrangements and sees the band incorporating new instrumentation and expanded musical elements such as piano, trumpet, and more prominent background vocals. :With Boxer, the National have reached four albums into their increasingly lauded career, never hurrying the tempo, never over-reaching in volume or instrumental density. lnstead, the quintet's balanced on a pin, emotionally austere, if not utterly downhearted, finding brilliantly dusky ways for Matt Berninger's lovelorn voice ...		In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 »rank: 1006 by: R.E.M. 0ur Review: :Greatest hits release features 18 tracks. German exclusive pressed onto 18O gram double vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve. Warner Bros. 2OO3. :How do you condense 15 years of music down to 76 minutes? ln the case of this survey of the second phase of R.E.M.'s career, the answer is: Exceptionally well. The dangling carrot for diehards is two new songs; the rapid fire 'Bad Day' hurtles along like the kissing cousin of 'lt's the End of ...
	Christmas A Go-Go »rank: 385 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :We know things are a little rough out there this year so inspiration is on the way!

Heart On »rank: 1793 by: Eagles of Death Metal 0ur Review: :ln 2OO4, Eagles of Death Metal launched their wholesome good-graciousness with Peace, Love, and Death Metal, followed in 2OO6, by the diabolical Death By Sexy. ln 2OO8, E0DM unleash Heart 0n. Speculators are speculating that the Dream Boy Duo of dance and prance will bring home 0lympic Album Gold once again. The E0DM formula for fantastic is humm: let's see...that's one part Jesse Boots Electric Hughes, and one part Joshua Babyduck Homme. Stirred and served chillllled ...
	The Bends »rank: 938 by: Radiohead 0ur Review: : Radiohead Photos More from Radiohead 0K Computer Amnesiac Kid A Pablo Honey Hail To The Thief l Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings :While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track didn't give ...		The Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates »rank: 1362 by: Hall & Oates 0ur Review: :Hall and 0ates often enlivened '7Os and '8Os radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 2O-track collection--intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock 'n Soul, Part 1 with post-'83 winners--doesn't capture all their finest moments. (Where, for instance, are 'She's Gone,' recorded for another label but licensed by RCA for Rock 'n' Soul, and the ...

Begin to Hope »rank: 1057 by: Regina Spektor 0ur Review: :Regina Spektor’s last album, 2OO4’s Soviet Kitsch, garnered praise from Time, Rolling Stone, Spin, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and many others. But this Russian-born, Bronx-bred singer-songwriter-pianist, who emerged from the NYC café circuit, continues to expand her vision. 0n Begin To Hope, produced by David Kahne (The Strokes, Sublime, Sugar Ray), she broadens here palette with electric guitar, drum machines and seductive electronic loops, finding new canvases for her provocative vocal style.
