(16 July, 1996)
(34 reviews)  Customer Review: Coming around: When this first came out - I could find very few Ween fans who liked the album. It was immediately one of my favorites. |

(11 April, 1990)
(51 reviews)  Editorial Review: Gang of Four went disco, Mission of Burma went deaf--and the Clash? Well, the Clash just went, but Fugazi have managed to escape the pitfalls that befell their predecessors. In fact, the Washington D.C. |

 | 89/93: An Anthology list: $18.98 - our price: $14.99 Audio CD
(19 March, 2002)
(24 reviews)  Editorial Review: Uncle Tupelo has received far more attention retrospectively than the band ever did while active. Maybe the best thing about this compilation, then, is that it ignores the myth and exalts the music. Issued eight years after the Jay Farrar/Jeff Tweedy split that yielded Son Volt and Wilco--and compiled with the participation of both parties--the anthology gathers its 21 tracks from every stage of the band's brief career. |

 | Alien Lanes list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Matador Records Audio CD
(04 April, 1995)
(29 reviews)  Editorial Review: Guided By Voices, the mascots of antihero rock and four-track hackery, chart another couple afternoons in their basement on Alien Lanes. It's the band's ninth album and second since being unearthed from the rich Ohio clay a year or two ago. |

(28 October, 1997)
(42 reviews)  Editorial Review: One of the best bands spawned in the postpunk era--scratch that, one of the best bands ever--was the Replacements. They perfected the art of making highly melodic, heart-rending tunes through the teenage vernacular of brash, |
 | All Hands on the Bad One list: $14.98 - our price: $14.98 by Kill Rock Stars Audio CD
(02 May, 2000)
(84 reviews)  Editorial Review: It has all the blistering guitar work, punk-rock harmonies, andthunderous drumming of their previous efforts. But with All Hands on the BadOne, the Northwest trio of Sleater-Kinney doesn't forget to have fun, |
 | All Is Dream list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by V2. / Bmg Audio CD
(11 September, 2001)
(43 reviews)  Editorial Review: All Is Dream is Mercury Rev's most fully realized albumyet, the ideal follow-up to its predecessor, 1998's acclaimed Deserter's Songs. LikeDeserter's, All Is Dream replaces the experimentalleanings and noisy guitar wig-outs that marked their early work(especially Yerself IsSteam) with the more subdued (and, |
 | And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out list: $16.98 - our price: $14.99 by Matador Records Audio CD
(22 February, 2000)
(89 reviews)  Editorial Review: Yo La Tengo's most consistently brilliant record is also their quietest, as husband and wife Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley turn the volume down while exploring decidedly grown-up relationship themes. It's definitely not the shoe-gazer-tinged barrage of guitars they've supplied in the past, |
 | Anodyne list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(11 March, 2003)
(47 reviews)  Editorial Review: Before Anodyne, Uncle Tupelo already had one masterpiece in 1991's noisy and tense Still Feel Gone, but this album, the band's major-label debut, had even grander ambitions. Replacing the group's grungy guitar with soaring lap and pedal-steel fills, |

(19 March, 1996)
(39 reviews)  Customer Review: The Greatest Hardcore Album Ever!!!: Make no mistake: BAD BRAINS INVENTED HARDCORE. I'm serious -- even Minor Threat was a regular old punk band until they heard these guys play. |

(11 September, 2001)
(25 reviews)  Customer Review: Not a particularly grand finale...: Yes, it is the Dead Kennedys worst album. It's a 30 minute collection of short and far too similar songs. |
 | Bee Thousand list: $13.99 - our price: $13.99 by Scat Records Audio CD
(20 June, 1994)
(61 reviews)  Editorial Review: Midwestern obscure-rock archivists and curators Guided by Voices are back before you could consider them gone with another fun-filled, hook-happy hodge podge of songs, half-songs, ideas, and vaguely pleasing sounds to get you through summer. |

 | Big Science list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(25 October, 1990)
(28 reviews)  Editorial Review: Big Science prompted trendy early-'80s art students to plug in their synthesizers and start their own postpunk performance-art-cum-rock-&-roll projects. The album actually produced a hit single in the form of "O Superman." |
 | Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum list: $11.98 - our price: $11.98 Audio CD
(26 September, 2000)
(12 reviews)  Editorial Review: Soul Asylum were, in many ways, two distinct bands. Prior to signing with Columbia, Soul Asylum scored minor hits with "Cartoon" and "Sometime to Return." Their hard-won reputation, however, was not as a singles band. |

(21 May, 2002)
(214 reviews)  Editorial Review: Playing punk pop for teenagers hooked on MTV may inflate your bank account, but it doesn't do much for your credibility. Fortunately, Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker, two-thirds of the multiplatinum crew, |

 | Bright Red list: $17.98 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(25 October, 1994)
(6 reviews)  Editorial Review: How do you make a pop song work without the safety net of melody? Rappers do it with hyperactive dance beats and lots of attitude, but Laurie Anderson does it by relaxing our defenses with her soothing telephone-operator voice, |
 | Brighten The Corners list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Matador Records Audio CD
(23 June, 1999)

 | Bullhead list: $14.98 - our price: $14.98 by Boner Records Audio CD
(30 April, 1993)

 | Call the Doctor list: $14.98 - our price: $14.98 by Chainsaw Records Audio CD
(25 March, 1996)
(21 reviews)  Editorial Review: Sleater-Kinney's musical manifesto is a wake-up call to not only the old boy network, but to young women who find themselves increasingly at odds with it. Helmed by Corin Tucker (Heaven's To Betsy) and Carrie Brownstein (Excuse 17), |

(27 September, 1994)

 | Cigarettes & Carrot Juice - The Santa Cruz Years list: $34.98 - our price: $34.98 by Spin Art Audio CD
(05 November, 2002)
(13 reviews)  Editorial Review: Before Camper Van Beethoven, no "punk" band would've thought to blend Eastern European folk rhythms with Tex-Mex, ska, reggae, psych-rock, punk-rock, pop-rock and...well, whatever else was out there. This five-disc box set features all the early CVB albums on compact disc. |
 | Circulatory System list: $14.99 - our price: $14.99 by Cloud Recordings Audio CD
(28 August, 2001)
(22 reviews)  Editorial Review: Their comparison to the Beatles and Beach Boys' experimental sounds are inevitable.However, the layered, psychedelic pop generated by the Circulatory System is not mimicry, but a wonderful adaptation of a genre long lost to mainstream music. |
 | Clouds Taste Metallic list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD

 | Cop/Young God/Greed/Holy Money list: $24.98 - our price: $24.98 by Thirsty Ear Audio CD
(23 March, 1999)
(13 reviews)  Editorial Review: This double-disc set compiles the complete material from three LPs and one EP released during the Swans' early years: 1984 through 1986. The band's general sound is that of a grungey electric guitar dirge, |

 | Crashing Through list: $69.98 - our price: $69.98 by K Records Audio CD
(07 May, 2002)
(4 reviews)  Editorial Review: It's almost hard to remember just how utterly unique Beat Happening was when they started. They couldn't really sing, couldn't really play, didn't have a bass player, and flirted with childish imagery filtered through a young-adult perspective. |

 | Damaged list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99 by Sst Records Audio CD
(25 October, 1990)
(88 reviews)  Editorial Review: Founded by guitarist/songwriter Greg Ginn, Black Flag exploded out of L.A. in 1981 with a debut album so confrontational that MCA Records refused to release it, stating that Black Flag was "immoral" and lacking "redeeming social value." |
 | Dead Letter Office list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by A&M Records Audio CD
(25 October, 1990)
(35 reviews)  Editorial Review: While purists will insist on an undiluted copy of the band's 1982 Chronic Town EP, R.E.M. completists (and those who just like a lot of tracks for their money) will be grateful for the inclusion of 15 additional B-sides and curios on this 1987 compilation. |
 | Decoration Day list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by New West Records Audio CD
(17 June, 2003)
(28 reviews)  Editorial Review: They earned wide acclaim with the double-disc Southern Rock Opera, a sprawling concept album about Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their three-guitar lineup and greasy look signify big, dumb rock in the minds of many, but their songwriting is relentlessly whip-smart. |

(29 September, 1998)
(79 reviews)  Editorial Review: For 1998, Mercury Rev did something completely different: they shunned the psychedelic rock of their previous ways and went for baroque. Literally. On Deserter's Songs, bowed saw plays as prominent a role as guitar, |

(25 October, 1990)
(88 reviews)  Editorial Review: Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime is a masterwork of American indie rock, a sprawling, 42-song explosion of terse, revolutionary rock & roll. Rifling through a kind of lurching punk-funk, this San Pedro, |

(27 January, 1998)
(72 reviews)  Customer Review: A Good Listen: Hum is not a band that gets radio play. You won't hear one of their tracks booming over the public airwaves and then go buy the album for only one catchy song. |
 | Dreamtime Return list: $25.45 - our price: $25.45 by Fortuna Records Audio CD
(23 January, 1992)
(19 reviews)  Editorial Review: This 1988 masterpiece, inspired by Roach's visits to the Australian outback and his work with didgeridoo master David Hudson, set the template for much of Roach's future work. In some sense he has simply refined the album's organic blend of brush-stroke synthesizer colors and ethnic-inspired rhythms ever since, |
