"Make The Cowboy Robots Cry" by Beachwood Sparks

This celebrated Southern California band of slacker geniuses march to a drummer as unusual as they come. Best described as tripadelic alt/country--these Sparks owe more to the glowing embers of bands such as Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev than they do to Gram Parsons. Still it sounds as unmistakably A...

"The Private Press" by DJ Shadow

Back in 1996 DJ Shadow aka Josh Davis released the album Endtroducing, probably one of the most influential cutting, scratching, and sample-heavy productions of all time. Everyone from Cut Chemist, to Q Bert to Kid Koala have shown how much that album influences their own DJ work today. With that ki... [More]

"Untouchables" by Korn

Korn said it best! This is the album that will either make or break them. True they're a well established act, but in today's ever changing musical market, longevity is becoming harder to achieve. Korn seems to realize that they need to cash in on the crop, before nu-metal goes the way of 80's glamo... [More]

"Title TK" by The Breeders

Though it's a tad sexist to make this distinction, I used to keep a mental list of the baddest chicks in rock. During her tenure as bass player for the Pixies and leader of the Breeders, Kim Deal consistently remained in my top three. The Breeders aptly titled (91 release) Last Splash looked, for al...

"Veni Vidi Vicious" by The Hives

Just when you think you know every great band out there in the music industry, one comes in from the blind side and knocks you for a loop. Released nearly two years ago on the Scandinavian label Burning Heart, these garage rockers from Fagersta, Sweden are finally hitting the American shores. These... [More]

"Free All Angels" by Ash

This Manchester outfit have been darlings of the British press for the past several years. During all this they've had their drug-issues, their (difficult) phases, breakdowns and line-up changes. They've lost direction, found it again, gone back to their roots and have again emerged with a brilliant... [More]

"Diorama" by Silverchair

While the new record from Australia's very own Silverchair probably won't make my best-of list at the end of the year, it is certainly a worthy effort and positively the most amazing album the threesome have ever recorded. Given Silverchair's other efforts, you're probably thinking this isn't saying... [More]

"Dreamland" by Robert Plant

Thanks to my dad, I was raised on some great music. Led Zeppelin, being one of my personal favorites. I actually used to pass the time doing chores listening to the tapes of Zeppelin classics like Coda and Houses of the Holy, and maybe it's because of this that I think you've got to©öve been living...

"Lifted" by Bright Eyes

I was drawn to this record by the glowing reviews it had been getting in the bigs. I'm afraid I don't quite understand what all the fuss is about. On Lifted, his third, Conor Oberst ambitions outstretch his gift. Something of a concept album emerges here, but in my book the concept is all pretense.... [More]

"Turn On The Bright Lights" by Interpol

Sometimes comparisons are hard to shake. Just ask Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Every publication has called them an American version of Jesus & Mary Chain. If that's the case, let the onslaught begin on new group Interpol. Hailing from New York City, you'd never know it by listening to their sound.... [More]

"Beeline" by Peter Case

Though Peter Case is hardly a household name, there was a day when he could have easily become a superstar. Fronting his band the Plimsouls, Case was riding the big wave on the strength of his hits "Zero Hour," and "A Million Miles Away," (Featured prominently, for those old enough to remember in th...

"Sea Change" by Beck

A couple of months ago movie critic Adam Mast and myself had the amazing opportunity of seeing Beck at the 400 seat capacity Rose Wagner theater in Salt Lake. He was there performing solo, and performing mostly material from his (at the time forthcoming new release) Sea Change. What we received from... [More]

"Reroute to Remain" by In Flames

In Flames is a band that follows in the footsteps of metal legends like Metallica, Pantera, And Slayer, while exploring terrain all their own. It is truly rare that one finds a band so talented that you can hold them up for comparison among such company, but I truly believe that these guys could be... [More]

"X" by Def Leppard

I've been a fan of Def Leppard for about a decade now and have no shame in admitting it. In fact, their album Adrenalize was one of the first Cds I owned, and as far as rock and rollers go they have nothing to apologize for. Say what you will, but there was alot of good music that came out of the 80... [More]

"Lost In Space" by Aimee Mann

A few years back, Aimee Mann of former Til' Tuesday fame, was the toast of the music community, having released not one but two stellar albums in the span of one year--the wonderful Magnolia soundtrack, and the scathing Bachelor No. 2. But it seems that since Ms. Mann has resolved all her issues wit... [More]
