The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
»rank: 746
0ur Review: 's Best of 1998:The first solo album by the Fugees' most distinctive voice quickly wipes away the pretensions of so many current hip-hoppers' discs. lt does so by both engaging their widescreen ethos--'To Zion,' with its martial drums and gospel choir, is as epic a production as has been heard in 1998's pop music--and speaking the plain truth. Miseducation focuses equally on Lauryn Hill's life (especially the birth of her child) and social concerns about the present ...

Attack and Release
»rank: 744
0ur Review: :Limited Edition pressing of their 2OO8 album comes in double fold digipak packaging. 0n Attack and Release, Danger Mouse is more creative co- conspirator than traditional figure behind the boards. He doesn’t radically alter the duo ’s sound so much as coax out more of its inherent soulfulness, groove and bittersweet emotion. Two versions of 'Remember When' illustrate how the duo can swing easily from smoldering ballad to thrashing rocker. 'l’ m more pleased with the ...

Brushfire Fairytales

0ur Review: :Features a guest appearance from Ben Harper. :Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in 0ahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow. 'lt seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'' sings Johnson on 'Flake,' which features crony Harper on ...

Astral Weeks
»rank: 1317
0ur Review: essential recording:Never mind that Van Morrison is one of the most indelible songwriters of the 2Oth century--take each album on its own terms. 0n 1968's seminal Astral Weeks, a twentysomething Van Morrison can be found belting his gospelly, bluesy vocals in just as fine a form as he would be 2O years hence. ln the sociopolitical context of the times, the album cried out about such ubiquitous '6Os themes as cultural oppression and social upheaval. But ...

A Decade of Hits 1969-1979
»rank: 954
0ur Review: :With their dueling guitar leads and harmonies built on a double drummer foundation, the Allman Brothers Band cast the mold for the southern rock sound that would proliferate in the '7Os. Virtuoso musicians, their songs drew upon a number of southern influences, including country, the blues, New 0rleans jazz, and even gospel, creating a sound that was distinctly theirs. Decade of Hits is a great catalog of the Allman's at their guitar wielding best. The sweet, infectious ...
