The third & commercially most successful album by Los Angeles rappers Compton's Most Wanted contained such terse narratives as " Dead Men Tell No Lies" & " Hit the Floor." If there hadn't been such an abundance of similar material in the early '90s, these tales might have triggered intense scrutiny & analysis. Instead, the most common response is that MC Eiht's raps aren't quite as loose or expressive as those of Spice 1, Ice Cube, Nas, or many others telling identical stories. Ron Wynn. ...

Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones, a collection of the Comsat Angels' BBC sessions from 1979-1984, is an excellent introduction to the band's early work. The performances of many of these songs are at such a high level that the band views them as being better than their studio versions. A sparse, slightly faster rendition of " Independence Day" along with a powerful take on " Ju Ju Money, highlight the first session with John Peel from 1979. (It was Peel who got the ball rolling f ...

Abandoning the Bright Eyes moniker he's been performing under since his teens, Conor Oberst reverted to his birth name for his 2008 follow-up to 2007's Cassadaga. As he not only released the record under his own name but titled it Conor Oberst, it's hard not to think of the album as a new beginning or statement of purpose, as that's generally the case when a singer/songwriter splits from his main b&, but this is such a low-key record it can't support such grand theories. But that subdued attit ...

Here it is domestically -- finally -- 18 tracks of prime rockin' Conway Twitty from his first five years in the music biz. That first five years set the template for a remarkable five decades, where he nailed a charting record at one time or another. & he did it while he was alive, so Elvis doesn't count. This set, with impeccable liner notes by the great Colin Escott, begins right where it should with " It's Only Make Believe, the 1958 original hit version & still the best one among the man ...

If Murray " The K" Kaufman host a series of great compilation albums featuring top singles in the '60s & the fabled CKLW-AM was able to do the same in the '70s, why shouldn't Little Steven Van Zandt, host of the best rock & roll radio show of the new millennium, bring this great tradition back to life? The Coolest Songs in the World, Vol. 3 doesn't have as many Top 40 hits as any given installment of Now That's What I Call Music (truth to tell, there aren't any actual "hits" here), but if you'r ...

Personnel: Chick Corea (piano); Bela Fleck (banjo). The pairing of post-bop icon Chick Corea with nu-grass banjo wizard Bela Fleck makes perfect sense. Both are consummate musicians dedicated to the ideal of fusing disparate styles into a protean form that knows no bounds, & creating an ever-shifting music whose only criterion is the beauty of artistic expression.THE ENCHANTMENT (2007), an album of dialogues between Corea's piano & Fleck's banjo, adheres to the musical standards of both ...

Converge - You Fail Me

YOU FAIL ME marks the first taste of large-scale commercial success for a band long lauded by many in the know as one of the most important underground acts on the metal-minded hardcore scene. Luckily, Converge changed little after signing to Epitaph, retaining its trademark mix of half-screamed/half-grunted vocals, brutal guitars, and stop-start rhythms. The production is exquisitely raw and immediate, providing the listener with an impression of sitting in the group's warehouse rehearsal space
