YEAH - DEF LEPPARD

Hot on the heels of a platinum-shipping best-of, Def Leppard finally shares the secret behind its ’80s hitmaking and hair-styling: British glam rock. Feeling nostalgic, the pop-metal vets hand over a long-delayed covers set with hits from the Kinks (”Waterloo Sunset”), T. Rex (”20th Century Boy”) and Sweet (”Hellraiser”). While bubble-gum standouts “Rock On” […]

SON - JUANA MOLINA

Argentinian songstress/producer Juana Molina continues to soar on her fourth full-length effort with some of her most mellow compositions to date. An expert at combining organic elements with otherworldly beats and programming, Molina lays out an impressive web of looping thuds and warped synths, her intimate voice mingling with acoustic guitar riffs. Songs […]

THE OBLITERATI - MISSION OF BURMA

Mission of Burma is highly regarded as one of the most influential groups of the post-punk era based on its caustic live shows, a pair of EPs and one full-length album in the early ’80s. After a long hiatus, the trio reunited a couple of years ago, and apparently life is good in Burma […]

IT’S NEVER BEEN LIKE THAT - PHOENIX

On its third full-length, Parisian quartet Phoenix has created its most immediately endearing album, condensing its members’ talent for complex pop music into 10 concise nuggets of rock candy. This is the kind of record the Strokes and countless other newfangled pop/rock groups have been trying to make over the first half of the […]

A HUNDRED MILES OFF - THE WALKMEN

The Walkmen’s third full-length proves this is a band for the ages. Joining a post-motorcycle-crash Dylan vocal delivery with a Springsteenian of-the-streets spirit, whiskey-soaked singer Hamilton Leithauser leads his band through a set of rousing, sharply focused, late-night pleas and barroom romps that take the group well beyond its garage roots. From the swamp […]

WWE: WRECKLESS INTENT - VARIOUS ARTISTS

Sometimes in life you make the biggest impact just by showing up, and World Wrestling Entertainment knows how to milk an entrance. Curiously, the franchise’s latest collection of original themes for its superstars, “WWE: Wreckless Intent,” fizzles instead of stoking anybody’s excitement. Its hip-hop, rock and metal offerings sound canned nearly across the board. […]

WELCOME HOME - BRIAN LITTRELL

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell makes his solo debut with a stunning pop album, and its potent songs about life, faith and hope. Littrell is targeting the Christian market with this project, and the lyrical depth will no doubt strongly resonate with that audience, but the uplifting tone and gorgeous performances will strike a chord […]

DRAMA - BANANARAMA

In the United States, Bananarama has been missing in action for 10 years. But with “Drama,” the duo and a handful of beat-savvy producers (including Mute8 and Ian Masterson) deliver a cohesive collection of dance-floor-ready jams. Like contemporary British girl groups Girls Aloud and the Sugababes, Bananarama revels in pop-alicious rhythms from electro, trance […]

Christina Milian - So Amazin’

With her third album, “So Amazin’,” Christina Milian tries to fully transform from peppy pop sweetheart to sweet urban soulstress. But the former Disney Channel hostess has yet to pinpoint her true identity. Here, the mostly midtempo production provided by Miami-based duo Cool & Dre gives synergy, and though Milian often comes off as […]

POWDER BURNS - THE TWILIGHT SINGERS

Former Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli has spent nearly 20 years advancing his sound, with “Powder Burns” his newest evolution. Producer Mike Napolitano heavily influenced what would otherwise be Dulli’s straightforward, self-loathing rock recordings, adding layers of crunchy guitars, piano and throbbing effects. While Dulli’s bitter, drunken voice remains front and center, the backup […]
