(25 March, 2003)

 | More Adventurous list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Brute/Beaute Audio CD
(17 August, 2004)
Editorial Review: Are they alternative-country rockers or alternative rock crooners? That was the conundrum following Rilo Kiley’s 2002 release, The Execution of Things, and with More Adventurous, the band’s first record with major label support, |
 | More Than You Think You Are list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Atlantic Audio CD
(19 November, 2002)
(337 reviews)  Editorial Review: Florida's megaplatinum matchbox twenty prove with their third album to be far more versatile than expected, comfortably outlasting the predictions of naysayers. Reuniting with producer Matt Serletic, the quintet takes credible swings at gospel ("Downfall" features a choir), |
 | MTV Unplugged in New York list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Geffen Records Audio CD
(01 November, 1994)
(320 reviews)  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, |
 | Music From the O.C. Mix 1 list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(30 March, 2004)
(60 reviews)  Editorial Review: Just like the Fox TV show it's taken from, Music from the O.C.: Mix 1 is studded with moments of subtle exceptionality until the end, when things get really good. Hard as it is to discount the haunting beauty of Joseph Arthur's "Honey and the Moon," |
 | 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, |
 | No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls list: $13.98 - our price: $8.99 Audio CD
(19 March, 2002)
(672 reviews)  Editorial Review: You can tell a lot about a band by the company it keeps. Simple Plan's close chums include Good Charlotte and Blink 182, giving one a fair hint of the sound the group's debut, though, judging by song titles like "I&# |

(28 October, 2003)
(27 reviews)  Customer Review: What are box sets for?: The point of box set compilations, like this one, is to provide the listener with an overview of a particular era or type of music. |
 | No! list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49 by Rounder / Pgd Audio CD
(11 June, 2002)
(106 reviews)  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!, |
 | Noise From the Basement list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(21 September, 2004)
Editorial Review: Sixteen-year-old Skye Sweetnam's debut sounds more like noise you might hear at the Macy's junior department than noise issuing from anybody's basement. But that's as it should be. Billed as the next Pat Benatar, |
 | Now That's What I Call Music! 15 list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Capitol Audio CD

 | Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 list: $59.98 - our price: $53.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(15 September, 1998)
(86 reviews)  Editorial Review: That the most famous garage-rock record of all time, the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie," is buried on the last CD of this four-disc box is very much in keeping with the spirit of the (often) one-hit wonders that people Nuggets. |
 | O list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Vector Recordings Audio CD
(10 June, 2003)
(154 reviews)  Editorial Review: Irish troubadour Damien Rice doesn't so much reinvent the folk genre on this lush, impossibly mature debut album as push its boundaries in several compelling musical directions at once--all the more remarkable considering the album was largely self-produced and home-recorded. |
 | Ocean Avenue list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Capitol Audio CD
(22 July, 2003)
(705 reviews)  Customer Review: one of my favorite CDs that i own: comming from a 12 year old chick whos obsesed with music this is a really great CD if you like positive, |
 | 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; |
 | On And On list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Universal Audio CD
(06 May, 2003)
(206 reviews)  Editorial Review: Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. |
 | 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, |
 | One Moment More list: $16.98 - our price: $13.49 by Vanguard Records Audio CD
(27 January, 2004)
(64 reviews)  Editorial Review: While the hype machine forever proclaims this or that new artist to be "unique," "original," or "a fresh new voice," most of the time what you hear is more of the same old, same old. Thus, it is a rare joy to hear a newcomer that actually qualifies as all of the above. |
 | Our Endless Numbered Days list: $14.98 - our price: $13.49 by Sub Pop Audio CD
(23 March, 2004)
(48 reviews)  Editorial Review: Florida’s 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. |
 | Our Little Corner of the World: Music From Gilmore Girls list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(01 October, 2002)

(16 September, 2003)
(186 reviews)  Customer Review: STORY OF THE YEAR - PAGE AVENUE: What can I really say about this album? Badass, awesome, greatest ever, etc. I mean, words can't even begin to describe how awesome this band really is. |
 | Palm Trees & Power Lines list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by Artemis Records Audio CD
(13 April, 2004)
(118 reviews)  Editorial Review: Another album of unapologetic pop punk songs from this Santa Barbara outfit who have smartly filled in the void that Green Day left when they decided to dabble into rock's early canon and eschew self-loathing for more mature introspection. |
 | Parachutes list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49 by Capitol Audio CD
(07 November, 2000)
(542 reviews)  Editorial Review: Music doesn't come more touching than this. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified "Shiver," Coldplay prove they can shift between elated and crushed in a breath, as singer Chris Martin pours out music's oldest chestnut (unconditional yet unrequited love) with the shakiest of voices and a backdrop of epic guitars. |
 | Parkinsong 1: 38 Songs of Hope list: $19.98 - our price: $14.99 by Megaforce Audio CD
(11 May, 2004)
(2 reviews)  Customer Review: An amazingly strong collection of music: The cause this album supports is vital and essential. But even if the proceeds didn't benefit Parkinson's rearch (which, |
 | Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy list: $7.98 - our price: $7.98 by Oglio Records Audio CD
(14 November, 1995)
(12 reviews)  Customer Review: From the Heart: I just finished viewing the multimedia version of this classic Christmas song. I was as moved today as I was when I saw it for the first time 15 years ago on a re-airing of Bing Crosby's Christmas Special. |
 | 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. |
 | 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, |
 | rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991-2003) list: $19.98 - our price: $13.99 Audio CD
(16 November, 2004)
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, |

 | Revival list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99 by Acony Records Audio CD
(12 June, 2001)
(60 reviews)  Editorial Review: Gillian Welch has captured the ethos of mountain music in a way that few lowlanders have managed, and that's just a little disconcerting. Outsiders aren't supposed to be able to infiltrate tight-knit clans. |
 | Revolution Starts Now list: $17.98 - our price: $13.49 by Artemis Records Audio CD
(24 August, 2004)
Editorial Review: Earle rushed The Revolution Starts ... Now to stores ahead of the 2004 presidential election, and given that timing and the songwriter's righteous lefty stance, the disc's topical content should surprise exactly no one. |
 | 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. |
 | Seven Swans list: $15.98 - our price: $13.99 by Sounds Familyre Audio CD
(16 March, 2004)
(16 reviews)  Customer Review: The Anti-Christ of Christian Pop: While it be too early to call Sufjan Stevens 'the next Nick Drake', 'Seven Swans', his stripped down follow-up to 2003's excellent 'Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lake State', |

 | Shrek - Music from the Original Motion Picture list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Dreamworks Audio CD
(15 May, 2001)
(178 reviews)  Editorial Review: Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, |
 | Silence in Black & White list: $12.99 - our price: $12.99 by Victory Records Audio CD
(08 June, 2004)
(14 reviews)  Customer Review: Hawthorne Heights: Yes as many reviews have pointed out, this cd has been done before many times. But HH has done a great job finding a happy medium between emo and screamo. |
 | Single Collection list: $49.99 - our price: $49.99 by Bmg Int'l Audio CD
(07 October, 2002)
(18 reviews)  Customer Review: This collection is worth it!: I think that this collection is one of the best out there. It is a mix of a wide variety of styles ranging from acoustic to hard 'love metal'. |
 | Smile list: $19.98 - our price: $14.99 by Nonesuch Audio CD
(28 September, 2004)
Editorial Review: The Greatest Album That Never Was finally is. The Beach Boys' uncompleted 1967 album Smile has remained the elusive touchstone of Brian Wilson's brilliant, star-crossed career for decades. Artistic Holy Grail and troubling professional Waterloo for Wilson, |
 | Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below list: $21.98 - our price: $17.99 by La Face Audio CD
(23 September, 2003)
(722 reviews)  Editorial Review: At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that’s all Outkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, this double CD has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demo exactly how Andre&# |
 | Still Not Getting Any (W/Dvd) list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 Audio CD
(26 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: Inevitably labeled "pop punk," Simple Plan's sophomore album finds the Montreal quintet settling in as a straight-ahead rock band. Yes, lyrically, their concerns remain grounded in the adolescent petulance and alienation of classic punk. |
 | Stop All The World Now list: $12.98 - our price: $11.99 Audio CD
(07 October, 2003)
(64 reviews)  Customer Review: Still developing: Howie Day is a great singer songwriter and an upcoming performer. "Stop All the World Now" seems to be a snapshot of a developing artist, |

 | Sympathique list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Heinz Records Audio CD
(18 November, 1997)
(132 reviews)  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 |
 | Tambourine list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Lost Highway Audio CD
(24 August, 2004)
Editorial Review: Merritt's resonant if somewhat conventionally alt-country debut Bramble Rose did little to predict this blue-eyed-soul breakout. A mix of hard-charging guitar rockers, horn-charted grooves, and pensive singer-songwriter ballads, |
