Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G.
Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected
pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate,
has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong
lyrical undertow. "It seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'"
sings Johnson on "Flake," which features crony Harper on slide guitar. All

Dispatch-Big Bang These guys were a great band and it would be sweet to seem
them come back together again. I now own every Dispatch CD, but this one is like
a greatest hits compilation, every tune is THAT good. They are the best indie
rock band I've ever heard and likely the best I'll ever hear. hypnotic and intelligent
rap-like tunes. The only thing is how their stuff never made it to the airwaves,
it's better than 99.9% of the stuff out there. other Indie bands like O.A.R. and
Guster, those bands just can't measure up to Dispatch. Check them out.
Foo
Fighters Probably the best album to ever be released by the Foo Fighters,
"The Colour & The Shape" further solidified Dave Grohl stepping
out of grunge's shadow and making peace with the ghost of Kurt Cobain. Just about
all the songs here on this album are catchy and seem made for radio friendly,
but underneath that surface is a demonically comical feel combined with a lot
of emotion. More

How do these guys do it!? after almost 20 years they
make possibly their best CD ever, either this or Ixnay is the best! And the crtic
reviews arent as bad as people say, they are all 3/5 or a "B", those
arent bad even tho this CD deserves way more. Only a band like the Offspring can
make great music after this long while changing their style but holding on to
their roots. more
from The Offspring
Linkin
Park Linkin Park’s second studio effort (not counting the 2002
remix album Reanimation) overflows with glossy production values and Big Rock
oomph, fully embracing the pop instincts of their Hybrid Theory debut. For many,
Theory sounded inexcusably corporate, from its too-timely rap-rock sound to the
long list of product endorsements included in the liner notes. More
from Linkin Park
It's a totally different sound than their previous albums.
Not only a different sound, but different themes as well. This cd you can relate
to on so many levels, and that is why you'll love it so much. The 80's feel that
alot of the songs on the album have is great and is a different twist for the
band. 2 tracks that stand out are "Always" and "All of This"
with The Cure's Robert Smith. It's sooo hard to choose a favorite becasue they
all rock! Every track is amazing. more

Red
Hot Chilli Peppers With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers
find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running time
of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within
and across the 17 cuts. More

Jumping
at Shadows This is not your sister's Fleetwood Mac & Peter
Green wasn't called the "Green God" for nothing. Green is arguably
one of the best blues guitarists ever. There is not a weak track in the lot; and
the sound is very good. So if you enjoy the @ss-kickin' blues of Kim Simmonds,
Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor etc...you owe it to yourself to get this
album ASAP. There is absolutely no way you will regret it.
Rage
Against the Machine As the vitriol spewed from Evil Empire, Rage Against the Machine's
long-awaited follow up to their 1993 debut owes much to Chuck D.'s polemic fury
and rapid-fire urgency--though as always the band rages without hip-hop machinery
in favor of the heavy-duty power tools of rock. More

Rage Against the Machine
Audioslave
The debut of thundering supergroup Audioslave--featuring members
of Rage Against the Machine post-Zack de la Rocha with ex-Soundgarden singer Chris
Cornell. Cornell's unmistakable holler and nihilistic imagery ensure that Audioslave,
the album, recalls early Soundgarden. That's especially true since de la Rocha
took Rage's signature rap and politicking with him. More
from Audioslave
Nirvana
Nevermind's tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from
the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward, magnifying
and distilling the wounded rage of 15 years of the rock underground into a single
impassioned roar. Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like this
one. More
from Nirvana
Stevie
Ray Vaughan The real deal is that this is not so much a hits package as
a hyped collection of songs that made the charts, album tracks, and rarities like
Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pipeline" duet with surf-rock king Dick Dale. More

Buena Vista Social Club's self titled first album is musical
excellence. Focusing predominantly on son, a traditional Cuban musical form, BVSC
delivers, and with spectacular results. This collaborative masterpiece between
BVSC and Ry Cooder simply must be experienced.
