Live: The Distance To Here

The Pennsylvania band Live forces its audience to make a harsh trade-off: In exchange for urgently hooky, compellingly bombastic, larger-than-life rock songs like "Run To The Water," you have to endur

Cobra Verde: Nightlife

Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe were two of the most successful and intelligent hit-makers of the '80s, but they somehow lost their stateside appeal when the decade shifted. The duo remains

Mos Def: Black On Both Sides

Black Star's Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star was one of last year's best albums, it's most remarkable quality being that it didn't just feature a new sound and a new style; it came with a moral

Cocteau Twins: BBC Sessions

Cocteau Twins broke up in 1997, so it's time to clear the vaults of any salvageable debris. With that in mind, here's BBC Sessions, a double-disc set that unearths stripped-down versions of mostly pre

Matthew Sweet: In Reverse

Matthew Sweet has never made a bad record, but 1997's Blue Sky On Mars was about as close as he's come. A 35-minute throwaway without more than a tiny handful of memorable songs, the album sounded lik

311: Soundsystem

In case you couldn't figure them out, 311 explains the ingredients of its sound on the awful single "Come Original": "Funk slap bass mixed with the dancehall / and hip-hop beats and funk guitar / and

Warren G: I Want It All

Earlier this year, West Coast hip-hop crooner Domino released a comeback album with the memorably pathetic title Remember Me? While Warren G hasn't yet reached that level of desperation, there's no de

The Smithereens: God Save The Smithereens

The short, dismissive take on The Smithereens has always been that the band made a career of rewriting the same song. There's some truth to that, but it was a pretty great song, wasn't it? In the late

Eurythmics: Peace

Given the commercial and critical success Annie Lennox has enjoyed with her solo albums, it's surprising (though not unwelcome) to find her reuniting with professional/romantic ex-partner Dave Stewart

Master P: Only God Can Judge Me

Master P may not be much of a rapper, actor, NBA player, sports agent, writer, producer, or director, but at least he's consistent, regularly pumping out product that's awful in the most predictable a

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Looking Forward

Given the commercial and critical success Annie Lennox has enjoyed with her solo albums, it's surprising (though not unwelcome) to find her reuniting with professional/romantic ex-partner Dave Stewart

Bush: The Science Of Things

Hundreds of bands have copped tricks from Nirvana, but Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl was there. He has a trained feel for which ones worked best, so he knows better than anyone that the key to a great Nirv

Foo Fighters: There Is Nothing Left To Lose

Hundreds of bands have copped tricks from Nirvana, but Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl was there. He has a trained feel for which ones worked best, so he knows better than anyone that the key to a great Nirv

Rage Against The Machine: The Battle Of Los Angeles

If Rage Against The Machine has accomplished nothing else in its epic musical battle against oppression, it has at the very least helped create some of the most surreal moments in '90s popular culture

Counting Crows: This Desert Life

Few bands have experienced the diverse critical reception that has greeted Counting Crows since its emergence with 1993's mostly acclaimed August And Everything After. Alternately hailed as emotionall

The Roots: The Roots Come Alive

The Roots' climb has been slow but steady, first winning several local-band competitions in Philadelphia before working up the food chain with four acclaimed albums. This year's Things Fall Apart and

Fiona Apple: When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts...

Note to naïve pop stars: Answering your critics by using a 90-word boxing- and chess-themed stream-of-consciousness poem as your album title is a guaranteed way to encourage even more virulent critici

Prince: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic

Prince has spent much of the decade in an artistic and commercial wasteland, releasing self-indulgent multi-disc sets on his own NPG label and filling out his old contract with a series of corporate f

Dr. Dre: Dr. Dre 2001

As the first new album in seven years from the man who changed the face of rap (and pop) music with Straight Outta Compton and The Chronic, Dr. Dre 2001 has a lot to live up to. Maybe that's why Dr. D

Korn: Issues

Korn and Limp Bizkit are leaders in the commercially dominant new school of metal, with the latter functioning mostly in the former's shadow until this year, when Limp Bizkit's Significant Other sold
