Brushfire Fairytales
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.

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. |

Buena
Vista Social Club
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.

The
Offspring
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.

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.

Blink
182
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
