Editorial Review: The last Nirvana collection recorded before the untimely death of Kurt Cobain, Unplugged caught many by surprise with its stripped down, neo-acoustic offerings with a bridled fury. When Cobain sings, "I swear I don't have a gun,

Nevermind
list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99
by Geffen Records
Audio CD (24 September, 1991)
(1198 reviews)

Editorial Review: If Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed itwere trying very hard to cop its style. It tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward,

Nirvana
list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99
by Interscope
Audio CD (29 October, 2002)
(402 reviews)

Editorial Review: Essentially a greatest-hits collection with one previously unreleased song, "You Know You're Right," and producer Scott Litt's 1994 remix of "Pennyroyal Tea," Nirvana the album is nevertheless a welcome addition to the band's canon.

Editorial Review: Hitch up your I-Pods, egg-headed hipsters of the future: They Might Be Giants, the out-there band that files its sound under the banner of "Can't We All Just Get Along" is speaking your language. What they're saying is No!,

October
list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99
by Island
Audio CD (15 June, 1990)
(78 reviews)

Editorial Review: Long a favorite of U2's original core following, October not only avoids the sophomore slump, but adds an edgy, emotional resonance to the buoyant self-confidence they showed on their debut, Boy. Though producer Steve Lillywhite deserves mention for helping effectively frame the material with production that manages to be both stark and atmospherically murky,

Oh, Inverted World
list: $14.98 - our price: $13.49
by Sub Pop
Audio CD (19 June, 2001)
(174 reviews)

Editorial Review: Something extraordinary is afoot in Albuquerque. The Shins' first big-timerecord, Oh, Inverted World combines mysterious narratives with golden songstructures, resulting in lavish and opulent indie pop.

OK Computer
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99
by Capitol
Audio CD (01 July, 1997)
(1469 reviews)

Editorial Review: Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer, though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines dehumanize people that's almost entirely un-electronic;

Once In A Lifetime
list: $64.98 - our price: $58.49
by Warner Brothers
Audio CD (18 November, 2003)
(17 reviews)

Editorial Review: The Talking Heads should have been the least commercial of the storied first-generation New York punk/new wave bands. After all, they didn't have the impact of the Ramones, they didn't possess the virtuosity of Television,

Our Endless Numbered Days

Audio CD (23 March, 2004)
(48 reviews)

Editorial Review: Floridas brilliant singer-songwriter Sam Beam expands Iron & Wine from solo project to a gaggle of friends and family on slide guitar, percussion, and backing vocals on his second album. Fans need not worry--the hushed immediacy and rich melodies remain the focus--but new flavors abound.

Pablo Honey

Audio CD (20 April, 1993)
(153 reviews)

Editorial Review: Before Radiohead became the biggest critics' darling since Pavement or Dr. Dre, they were just another pre-Oasis British band with some loose indie ties, trying to gain some cred. Loopy enough to name this moody,

(25 reviews)

Editorial Review: Released four years after the Talking Heads called it a day with 1988's Naked, Popular Favorites provides a thorough overview of one of the most important American bands of the '80s. From tightly wound early efforts such as "Psycho Killer" and "Don't Worry About the Government" to the seriously funky likes of "I Zimbra" and "Burning Down the House,"

Pressure Chief
list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49
Audio CD (05 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: While artists like Beck and Radiohead see every new album as an opportunity for reinvention from the ground up, Cake has no such hang-ups. From the uniformly rustic cover art, the jerky rhythms and wobbly trumpet solos,

Pretty Hate Machine
list: $25.99 - our price: $25.99
by Tvt Int'l
Audio CD (09 November, 1989)
(279 reviews)

Editorial Review: Considered the breakthrough album that delivered a more palatable version of industrial music to the commercial audience, Pretty Hate Machine left its dingy mark on pop culture. The abrasive "sonarchy" of the album was first churned by despondent club-goers who roiled with the rhythms and aligned with the angst-ridden convictions.

Rattle and Hum
list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98
by Island
Audio CD (15 June, 1990)
(83 reviews)

Editorial Review: The ill will that initially greeted Rattle and Hum--the follow-up to the band's massively successful Joshua Tree album--was due in large part to the bloated and self-important feature film that accompanied it,

Real Gone
list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49
by Epitaph
Audio CD (05 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: There's little risk of confusing Tom Waits with the gentle pop folk who have covered his songs--Rod Stewart, Sarah McLachlan, Everything But the Girl, just to name a few. That's because even though the eccentric songwriter is capable of summoning the most tender sentiments,

Editorial Review: In an era when pop nihilism fulfilled its dark promise all too regularly, Pearl Jam not only survived, but thrived to become one of rock's greatest bands. This 33-track double-disc career retrospective documents the arc of a career that went from arena and radio triumphs in the early 90's (while Nirvana's promise imploded in the wake of hype,

Room for Squares
list: $13.98 - our price: $9.99
Audio CD (18 September, 2001)
(971 reviews)

Editorial Review: Singer-songwriter John Mayer fills his debut, Room for Squares, with pep talks to and advertisements for himself. Even when questioning his young life, Mayer's doubts come off glib; not one second of "Why Georgia" convinces that "the stirring in my soul" keeps the artiste awake at night.

Rum Sodomy & the Lash

(44 reviews)

Editorial Review: Produced by Elvis Costello, the Pogues' second album brilliantly courted Irish drinking music with the thornier aspects of punk. Cait O' Riordan would eventually marry the producer and leave the band, but Shane MacGowan always made it his show and here he exploits his barfly voice to full effect.

Editorial Review: What the hell is this? Though the two-record sprawl of London Calling--with its exploratory mutations of reggae, rockabilly, and even disco--proved that the Clash weren't content to lie fallow in a punk-rock ghetto,

Editorial Review: The arrival of The Singles demonstrates perfect timing. With the impulse to treat 1980s pop with irony finally dying and cutting-edge American bands such as the Rapture and the Faint directly sourcing Brit synth-pop,

Editorial Review: Marc Bolan's success was peaking at the time he released The Slider in 1972. Coming off hits such as "Bang a Gong" and "Hot Love," he packed Slider with anthems like "Metal Guru" (also a No. 1 British single),

Audio CD (30 July, 1996)

Editorial Review: For all his tattoos and bulked-up frat-boy persona, singer Bradley Nowell had real soul, which made his fatal heroin overdose even more tragic. There's more to this Long Beach, California, trio's debut,

Substance

by Warner Brothers
Audio CD (25 October, 1990)
(83 reviews)

Editorial Review: It's a simple concept--the first dozen singles by New Order collected, a couple of them rerecorded--but it's also a totally entertaining seven-year history of the band that married British post-punk alienation to the relentless hedonism of the dance floor.

Editorial Review: While the cocktail lounge fad has seen more than a few musicians climbaboard as a career move, the members of Pink Martini are no bandwagon-ridingaficionados. Fronted by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini is the real article--aband that approaches the music with unwavering seriousness yet never forgets the fun atthe heart of it.S

Customer Review: AWESOME EMO!!!: This is my favorite CD in my collection. I can just let it run over and over again and I never get tired of it. This is true emo. Taking Back Sunday is the greatest band to ever live. Here is my breakdown of the songs.1.You Know How I Do: 9/10 Strong way to start out CD. Nice guitar riff. Great lyrics.2.Bike Scene: 8/10 Nothing special. Song builds up and by the end it sounds just like the rest of their songs.3.Cute Without the E: 10/10 GREAT SONG. I can listen to this song over and over again and never get sick of it4.There's No I In Team: 10/10 Good guitar riff. End is the best part (Best friends means I pull the trigger)5.Great Romances of the 20th Century: 8/10 OK song. Nothing more to say.6.Ghost Man on 3rd: 7/10 If I had to pick the worst song,

(113 reviews)

Editorial Review: Math wiz and multi-instrumentalist John Ondrasik's third album under his rather misleading Five For Fighting rubric shows that he's lost little of the cranky ire that he unleashed on American Town,but this time his targets are a little closer to home.

The Bends

Audio CD (04 April, 1995)
(432 reviews)

Editorial Review: While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability.
