"Audioslave" by Audioslave

Despite their impressive pedigree, the union of former Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell and the remaining members of Rage Against the Machine has surprisingly been met with a good deal of skepticism from critics and fans alike. From the first rumors, however, I was certain that this all-star incar... [More]

"Have You Fed the Fish?" by Badly Drawn Boy

What a year it's been for Damon Gough. Earlier this year he penned the excellent soundtrack to the film About a Boy, and now six months later he releases another fantastic studio record. The title track finds Damon exploring his relationships as he asks his live-in girlfriend "Have you fed the fish... [More]

"Phrenology" by The Roots

For those of you that supposedly love hip hop, please put away those tired Nelly, Jay-Z and Eminem Cd's and take a peak at the greatest living rap group today. Not many know them, but now five albums in, those who do, know what undeniable talent these Philadelphia funk masters possess. Behind th... [More]

"Life On Other Planets" by Supergrass

Most of the good stuff gets released in Great Britain before if ever makes it to the States and the latest from the prodigious Beatlesque janglers, Supergrass is another example. If this album would have been released on this side of the pond it would have been high on most of our best-of lists.... [More]

"Behind The Music" by The Soundtrack of our Lives

I've been reading alot about these guys for the past several months, and everything I read piqued my interest a little more. Hailing from Sweden this sextet offers up the most compelling album of the year. The band has a dual personality--about half of the songs have a definite late sixties British... [More]

"Brainwashed" by George Harrison

Few Rock Stars of Harrison's magnitude have managed to lead their lives with such class. Often called the "Quiet Beatle" George provided a gracious example for anyone yoked with excess fame and fortune. Released just about a year after succumbing to cancer, Brainwashed finds George in vintage form.... [More]

"Round Room" by Phish

After a long two year hiatus, Phish splashes back into the pond with the welcome Round Room. Soft and jazzy, this latest release is a bit of a departure for the cult jammers. There's just about as much (if not more) Paige on piano than Trey on guitar. Round Room is definitely the most subtle album... [More]

"Shiny Things" by Jackpot

Every so often my job as publisher of The Independent gives me an inside track on some great new music. I was at a show to see local boys The Trigger Locks strut their stuff when I was stunned by their opening act, a Sacramento, CA outfit called Jackpot. I bought their second CD entitled Weightless...

"( )" by Sigur Ros

Sigur Ros is fast becoming the hottest import from the icy climes of Iceland since Bjork and The Sugar Cubes. Their American debut Agaetus Byrjum made it's way onto several best-of lists in 2000 and found support from many of rock's luminaries including Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Sigur Ros concocts a... [More]

"Man Vs. Machine" by XZIBIT

There's no doubt that Xzibit is one hell of an M.C. With a gruff, raw voice and lyrics reminiscent of Ice Cube's Predator days, X has un-doubtedly proven himself as an artist to be reckoned with. Unfortunately his latest album, Man Vs. Machine hasn't. The problem though doesn't seem to lie with Xzib... [More]

"Spend The Night" by The Donnas

If you are a heterosexual male and have never heard of The Donnas, then listen up. The Donnas, (who take their names and brand of punk rock fashion straight from the Ramones) may be, next to Sleater-Kinney, one of the best all female groups out there. And an added bonus is that they are sexy as hell... [More]

"Jerusalem" by Steve Earle

No other American songwriter is on a stronger roll than Steve Earle. Since being released from prison 7 years ago and overcoming the drug problems that put him in--Steve has rebounded with 6 critically acclaimed albums worth of great stuff. As usual Steve comes out of his corner growling and uses hi... [More]

"Hundred Days Off" by Underworld

In 1999, Underworld made in my opinion one of the greatest techno albums of all time with the horribly underrated Beaucoup Fish. If you're familiar with Underworld you know that this is a three piece group, or was until DJ Darren Emerson left to pursue solo fame. Now founding members, Karl Hyde and... [More]

"One By One" by Foo Fighters

I must admit, this is one of the few albums I had been anticipating all year long; and all Dave Grohl's side project with Queens of the Stone Age did was whet my appetite even further. Is the new Foo Fighters album worth the wait? Yes and no. The new Foo album is filled with some of the best hard ro... [More]

"Power In Numbers" by Jurassic 5

It's not often in hip-hop when a group can blur the lines of entertainment and art. Jurassic 5 has done it superbly. With lyrics politically in tune with today's events, and music so fresh and lively, J5 has created an album ideal for any listener. The group's resident DJs Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist bl... [More]
