In Your Honor
:Album Description:The DVD side of disc one contains a ‘making of the album’ documentary video and an enhanced stereo version of disc one. The DVD side of disc two features a hi-res DVD audio surround sound version of disc two. :It’s likely that a decade after its debut record this band now has fans who might ask, 'You mean Dave Grohl was in a band before the Foo Fighters?' But they, or any Foo followers who pine for the increasingly refined vocals and polished pop-punk uniformity of the first four albums, will swallow ...

The Stiff Records Box Set
: :Understand from the get-go that label retrospectives are spotty affairs. Rare is the label that's free of stiffs, and Stiff Records' raison d'état was to serve as a refuge for castoffs, including a fair share of flaccid acts. The off-center likes of Nick Lowe (having recently fleed the misbegotten Brinsley Schwarz), Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis, and a very young Elvis Costello found a home with Stiff in the '70s. It wasn't a punk label, though it boasted the Damned; it wasn't a ska imprint, though Madness and Desmond Dekker recorded for ...

Between Thought and Expression: The Lou Reed Anthology
: :It's hard to fault this three-CD collection, since Reed himself was so heavily involved with the project. Yet it presents the same problem posed by 'authorized' biographies. Coming after the success of New York, this anthology offers the more literary, politically correct side of Uncle Lou, neglecting the 'fuckin' faggot junkie' (his self-characterization, from Street Hassle's 'Gimme Good Times'--not included here) image he cultivated so effectively early in his immediate post-Velvet Underground years. Yes, he's an amazing rock poet, but he was also a rock & roll animal. There are just too many ...
