Neon Bible
:Album Description:The second album from Montreal's Arcade Fire exceeds all expectations. With string and orchestral arrangements by two of the band members, 'Neon Bible' is full of both half-assed punk rock mistakes and meticulously orchestrated woodwinds. Processed strings and mandolin. Quiet rumbles and loud rumbles. But mostly just eleven songs that the band thinks are really good. :For their second full-length, the Montreal-based seven-or-eight-piece Arcade Fire show themselves capable of Big Rock, as original, and as potentially marquee-topping as ...

Greatest Hits
: : Lenny Kravitz Photos More from Lenny Kravitz Baptism Circus Mama Said Amazon.com:More prolific than D'Angelo and Terence Trent D'Arby combined, one-man rock & soul revivalist Lenny Kravitz kept traditional pop values alive through much of the '90s. From the Motown-perfect 'It Ain't Over Til It's Over' to the Beatlesesque 'Let Love Rule,' Kravitz has always inhabited his influences with a genuine spirit that transcends imitation. The 15 tracks found here provide a surprisingly coherent reminder ...

Music from the Motion Picture 'Purple Rain'
: essential recording:Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of 'When Doves Cry'), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off 'live' versions set in a Minneapolis club). I don't know why that ...

Evil Empire
: :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. But no matter if Rage against the Machine amounts to revolutionary rap, protest metal, or a combination of the two, the band's command of sonic rage makes Evil Empire a powerful assault in any ...

Waves & the Both of Us
:Album Description:Charlotte Sometimes has been singing since before she could talk. Even as a baby, music was the language she understood best. Her charisma and love of an audience seemed a perfect match for musical theater, so she spent her first 13 years in a blur of voice and dance lessons. But as an adolescent, all that staring in the mirror drew Charlotte to a different form of self-expression: poetry. She decided to teach herself to play guitar so ...

At Mount Zoomer
: :Their second album for Sub Pop (following 2005's 'Apologies To The Queen Mary') might just be this generation's 'Marquee Moon' or an indie rock 'Chinese Democracy' released thirty years early. Better though, to think of it as the sound of a band edging forward into a wispy darkness, one hand reaching out, the other firmly clutching the past.

Greatest
: :While English pop monarchs Duran Duran have remained active for two decades, it's clear that the indomitable ensemble was at its peak during those mercurial '80s. This greatest-hits collection documents the band's ambitious beginnings as a funky glam-rock outfit and follows its gradual transformation into a high-tech pop band with loads of commercial appeal. Featuring now-classic tunes like 'Girls on Film,' 'Rio,' and 'Planet Earth' as well as more recent songs like 'Ordinary World,' Greatest focuses on Duran Duran's ...
