»rank: 401
0ur Review: :Hot Fuss features eleven nuggets of reel-you-in storytelling genius and musical nectar. These eleven tracks span from the 'very Vegas – like Ziggy came to town' first proper single release 'Somebody Told Me';'Mr Brightside' - a tale of jealousy that depicts that moment in a relationship when you realize that your other half might be playing away and this thought takes up residence in your psyche feeding the worst fears and visualisations your imagination can then ...

For Emma, Forever Ago
»rank: 312
0ur Review: :Justin Vernon began recording as Bon lver following the breakup of DeYarmond Edison, an indie folk group similar in tone and manner to lron & Wine, Little Wings and, to a certain extent, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Pronounced 'bohn eevair', it is French for 'good winter' which is spelled wrong deliberately. This debut CD is centered around Justin Vernon, who is the primary force behind Bon lver, as he moved to a remote cabin in the woods ...

The Sound Of The Smiths: The Very Best o the Smiths(2 CD Deluxe Edition)
»rank: 501
0ur Review: :Deluxe 2 CD version, with disc 2 containing choice B sides, live cuts, and rarities. The Smiths formed in Manchester in 1982 and quickly rose to become the quintessential British indie rock band of their day. Powered by the collaboration between lead singer and lyricist Morrissey and lead guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr, their sound had a literary and musical depth that was complex, emotional and often controversial-at the same time, it rang with The Smiths' ...

»rank: 406
0ur Review: :An all-star cast has joined forces to produce a wonderful CD and, if that weren't exciting enough, a portion of the proceeds will help restore music education in the U.S. public school system through the VHl Save the Music Foundation. Clever new renditions of familiar Muppets and Sesame Street tunes abound, but Semisonic's Dan Wilson, ex-Del Fuego artist Dan Zanes, Toad the Wet Sprocket's Glen Phillips, and Bleu wrote songs for this album, and Tom Waits's lullaby ...

Toxicity
»rank: 441
0ur Review: review:System of a Down's sophomore effort is a musically and lyrically ambitious 14-song collection that's even more left-of-center and powerful than their 1998 self-titled debut. Here the Los Angeles-bred foursome tackle everything from government ('Prison Song') to cocaine-crazed groupies ('Psycho') in a more pointed and aggressive manner than Rage Against the Machine. Serj Tankian's hardcore vocals and occasional Middle Eastern flourishes ('Science') contribute to the unique, ultra-intense, and quirky qualities of System circa 2OO1. Unexpected time ...
