"Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones

This one is definitely the surprise find of the month and will, no doubt, be prominent on everyone's best-of lists come the end of the year. Come Away With Me is aptly titled because it simply transports the listener to another place and time. A soothing and comfortable place which brings to... [More]

"18" by Moby

Play was what had to have been the world's first southern blues, field-holler, dance record. Being that it sold around ten million copies, you wouldn't expect it to be the last. Moby returns this year with what can only be described as more of the same. The thing is, you wouldn't want it any other w... [More]

"The Last Broadcast" by Doves

The Doves debut release Lost Souls was a critical sensation that put them on the British map in the general vicinity of peers such as Radiohead and Travis. To be released on June 4, The Last Broadcast finds the Doves making a confident leap ahead in every way, a record that puts them in strong cont... [More]

"On A Wire" by Get Up Kids

After last month's incredible release from The Promise Ring, and now the Get Up Kids On A Wire, we have all the evidence we need to declare Emo a completely obsolete and meaningless musical classification. The only people who ever needed the stupid "genre-term" were journalists and record store empl... [More]

"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" by Wilco

So what does heartbreak sound like? It seems like an easy question, but no one can really put a finger on it. Jeff Tweedy and the rest of Wilco have probably come as close to finding the answer as is possible. Right off the bat, "I am Trying To Break Your Heart," Tweedy's vocals, emerge from a deep,...

"Come on Come on" by Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow is one of the few pop musicians active today that, I believe, is deserving of all the praise and respect given from her critics and fans. Her ability to make each of her records superior to the previous is commendable considering she has yet to release anything short of wonderful. C'mon... [More]

"Killing Is My Business" by Megadeth

Most people I know think that Peace Sells But Who's Buying was Megadeth's first album, but it was actually their second. Their frontman Dave Mustaine was a founding member of both Megadeth and Metallica, two of four bands that, if you ask me, laid the groundwork for every metal band since. But... [More]

"Sorry About Tomorrow" by Hot Rod Circuit

Hot Rod Circuit epitomizes everything we've come to expect from EMO, punky, 3-minute rocking-ditties full of emotion and melody. On the negative side of the ledger they don't stray far from highway 182, and they snack on Jimmy Eat World leftovers. Still and all it's a respectable album (their fourth... [More]

"Wood Water" by The Promise Ring

Of all of the albums I've reviewed this year this one is definitely my favorite. A marked departure from their former bash/pop approach, Wood Water finds the former Emo poster-boys sprawling all the way across the ever expanding landscape of indie music. Though this all-out change of style will prob... [More]

"Gutter Flower" by Goo Goo Dolls

I'm not big on guitarists who tune all their strings to the same key or experiment with tuning in similar ways to create a so-called "distinct sound." But frontman John Rzeznick's dirty sounding six string produces a timeless, soulful groove in "Here is Gone," "Sympathy," and "What Do You Need." Ho... [More]

"From Here On In" by South

In 2001, the new London trio South helped to co-write the vibrant score to the film Sexy Beast with Mo Wax label founder and UNKLE member James Lavelle. A year later, South has finally released their debut album with Lavelle in the production chair. What they've put together is a well blended album... [More]

"Stereo" by Paul Westerberg

Paul Westerberg may well be the most influential songwriter that you've never heard of. In his hay-day as frontman for the Replacements he enjoyed almost universal critical praise, but the Mats never quite crossed over into the mainstream like other bands of their ilk. Still among songwriters and mu... [More]

"Sha Sha" by Ben Kweller

At the tender age of 14, Ben Kweller and his band Radish were already being touted as the next Nirvana. This prediction didn't exactly pan out, but now an older and much wiser Kweller (18) returns with his debut solo outing Sha Sha. You wouldn't want to call him mature because his tunes revel in the...

"Side Tracks" by Steve Earle

Since being released from prison 6 years ago and overcoming the drug problems that put him in, Steve took to his music with renewed passion. The 4 albums that followed were all critically hailed and have guaranteed him a spot high among the pantheon of American songwriters. The rebel trail he blazed... [More]

"Maladroit" by Weezer

To all those Weezer fans who think that the only good Weezer starts with the Blue Album and ends with the Green Album, I have some good advice for you; stick it where the sun doesn't shine. Those albums were good, but they borrowed heavily from the Cars and the truly wondrous Weezer is the very misu... [More]
