The Zutons, You Can Do Anything
The Zutons are, you'll be relieved to know, on fine form.
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison: Legacy Edition
Artist: Johnny Cash Review: After years of dwindling sales, Johnny Cash walked into California's Folsom Prison on January 13th, 1968, and reinvigorated his career: At Folsom Prison, the live album he cut that day, went platinum and shored up Cash's outlaw image with jailbird anthems that vividly evoked prison life with a country-folk sound that became roughly as enduring as the Bible. This two-CD, one-DVD reissue includes the set that followed the original recording, plus songs from openers Carl Perkins and the Statler... Rating: 4 Stars

Oh Laura
Czterech zdolnych muzyków i kobieta, a dokładniej jej głos. Tyle potrzeba było, by stworzyć zespół, który za sprawą utworu "Release Me" użytego w reklamie samochodu okrzyknięty został odkryciem roku nie tylko w ich rodzimej Szwecji...
Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
Artist: Coldplay Review: Coldplay's fourth release has been billed as their experimental record, as well as their political record. And it is both, relatively speaking. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends opens with an anthemic riff played not on guitar but on a Persian santur — a hammered dulcimer common to the traditional music of Iraq and Iran. The album's lead single, "Violet Hill," describes a scene in which "priests clutched onto Bibles/Hollowed out to fit their rifles." Half the album's tracks float... Rating: 3.5 Stars
The Notwist, Devil, You & Me
A masterpiece of electronic songcraft.

Bushman, Get It In Your Mind
Get It In Your Mind is Bushman's strongest album for a while.
Ladyhawke - Ladyhawke
Artist: Ladyhawke Review: For Phillips "Pip" Brown, the New Zealand-born singer-songwriter known as Ladyhawke, 1985 is not merely a year: It's a career choice. Ladyhawke — the name comes from a Matthew Broderick fantasy film released in, yep, 1985 — is a retro fetishist, slathering her songs in synthesizer fanfares and thudding drum machines that precisely evoke the mid-Eighties sound of Pat Benatar, Kim Wilde and the Top Gun soundtrack. Ladyhawke is a skillful craftswoman, and in songs like the grandiose... Rating: 2.5 Stars
Spiritualized, Songs In A & E
Now, more than ever, Spiritualized are less about the trip into the outer limits and more about the frailty of love and mystery of individual existence.
Supergrass, Diamond Hoo Ha
Another jewel in the guitar pop dung heap ? good work fellas.
The Isley Brothers, 3 + 3 / Go For Your Guns
This 2 on 1 set is genius writ large.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmos Factory
Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival Review: Hailing from El Cerrito, California, Creedence Clearwater Revival should've logically been another hippie collective waving flowers in neighboring San Francisco. As these 40th-anniversary editions suggest, leader John Fogerty instead invented an alternate identity for his band based on its otherwise unremarkable 1968 debut album's rumbling reinvention of a rock oldie. His singing voice swollen with the exaggerated vowels and slurred consonants of shouting Southern bluesmen, Fogerty discovered... Rating: 4.5 Stars
Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances
Artist: Titus Andronicus Review: Named for an obscure Shakespeare play and flaunting song titles like "Albert Camus," this fivesome of suburban punks are proud nerds. But they know when to kick ass: "Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ" sounds like a kiss-off ballad, until the 23-year-old singer-songwriter Patrick Stickles stops short and bellows "Fuck you!" with his bandmates and they hurtle into a breakneck Celtic rocker that recalls the Pogues at their most raucous. There's emo in the tortured lyrics and E Street Band in the arr... Rating: 3.5 Stars
Three 6 Mafia - Last 2 Walk
Artist: Three 6 Mafia Review: It's getting easier out there for a pimp. On their first album since they added an Oscar statuette to the gold-plated goblets in their trophy case, these Memphis rappers are in a triumphant mood. "I showed 'em, I showed 'em," bellow DJ Paul and Juicy J in "I Told 'Em." On Last 2 Walk, every track is compelling, with synthesized strings and the usual depth-sounder bass lines inflated with reverb into miniature symphonies. Recently, MCs Crunchy Black and Lord Infamous quit Three 6, leaving the... Rating: 3.5 Stars

Disturbed - Indestructible
Artist: Disturbed Review: In June, these Chicago metalheads had the Number One album in America. It's not hard to see why: With meticulously constructed guitar skronk, serrated verses and cathartic refrains on cuts like "Enough," the album has clear pop appeal in its own dour way. Singer David Draiman says Indestructible is Disturbed's darkest record yet — it was partly inspired by the band's experiences performing for troops overseas — and he does his best to back up the drama. Wailing like a leather- and... Rating: 2 Stars
Various Artists - Nobody Knows Anything - DFA presents Supersoul Recordings
Artist: Various Artists Review: Having built the most reliable brand in freakably fusion-minded dance music with artists like LCD Soundsystem and the Rapture, DFA Records has decided to globalize. The debut release on its international Death From Abroad imprint collects tracks from Supersoul, a two-year-old Berlin label whose bastardized beats flaunt the same formal disregard that makes DFA so great. Because the material is from a German operation, there are minimalist 4/4 techno rhythms (Mogg and Naudascher's "Moon Unit Pt.... Rating: 3 Stars
