Blood Of Abraham: Eyedollartree

Better known for its connection to mentor Eazy-E and its members' Jewish heritage than for its music, Blood Of Abraham put out the little-noticed Future Profits in 1993, then promptly disappeared. It'
Liz Phair: Whitechocolatespaceegg

After a nearly four-year absence, Liz Phair returns with a new album. Much has been made of the long interim and what took place in her life during that time—marriage, motherhood, and the Lilith Fair—
Phono-Comb: Fresh Gasoline

As a general rule, instrumental records need to have a lot going on: Without human voices, the playing must exude emotion (a la Dirty Three), style (a la Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet) or technique
Souls Of Mischief: Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution

The four members of Souls Of Mischief may be in their mid- to late-20s, but, like many hip-hop veterans, their relative youth belies their influence and historical importance. Alongside similar releas
Journey: Trial By Fire

It's true: There's a new Journey album, out 10 years after the release of the hit-filled Raised On Radio. Fans of the band have spent the last decade making do with a greatest-hits CD, a box set and a

The Sundays: Static & Silence

James: Whiplash

In the four years since its big-time breakthrough Laid, James has released only one album, a marginal collaboration with Brian Eno (Wah Wah). In that time, frontman Tim Booth also recorded last fall's
Wayne Kramer: Citizen Wayne

Brother Wayne Kramer—former guitarist for the Detroit-based prophets of acid-rock and foot soldiers of punk in MC5—has been a charity case for Epitaph Records since the label undertook the task of bri
Various Artists: Just Say Noel

Way too many Christmas albums are little more than glorified label samplers: The logic is that fans and collectors will want to hear previously unreleased songs by Beck and Sonic Youth, so they'll buy
Phil Ochs: Farewells & Fantasies

Compared to other figures of the early-'60s folk scene, such as Joan Baez and especially Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs is a lesser-known name, or at best a singer/songwriter more heard about than actually hear
Lou Reed: Metal Machine Music

Given his reputation as a big jerk, it's frequently impossible to determine Lou Reed's genuine motivations. Even so, Metal Machine Music remains particularly enigmatic 25 years after its release. A do

Various Artists: Sounds Of North American Frogs

If people are willing to buy millions upon millions of Titanic soundtracks and Korn records and Master P films, why shouldn't they rush out and purchase Sounds Of North American Frogs, a 92-track, 54-
Skandalous All-Stars: Hit Me

On a conceptual level, Hit Me didn't have to be such a leaden failure: By definition, making ska covers of alternative-rock and metal songs isn't necessarily a terrible idea. But slog through Skandalo
