Editorial Product Review: :Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem 'Bawitdaba.' Other hits like 'Cowboy' and 'American Bad A**' followed while ballads like his 'Picture' duet with Sheryl Crow and 'Only God Knows Why' ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS : The Modern Rock #1s are 'Give It Away,' 'Soul To Squeeze,' 'My Friends,' 'Californication,' 'Otherside' and 'By The Way' (also Top 40 Pop). The Top 20s are 'Higher Ground' and 'Suck My Kiss.'
Editorial Product Review: :It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of 'Fight for Your Right to Party' and 'Brass Monkey,' the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like 'I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer' and 'I started an escort ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Digipak reissue of 1992 album. 2001. :Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this L.A. quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. 'Bombtrack' opens the LP with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack ...
Editorial Product Review: :Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:2003 follow-up to the eight-times-platinum in the US debut, Hybrid Theory, promises to be one of the biggest albums of the year. Enhanced CD packaged in a digipak. WB. :Linkin Park’s second studio effort (not counting the 2002 remix album Reanimation) overflows with glossy production values and Big Rock oomph, fully embracing the pop instincts of their Hybrid Theory debut. For many, Theory sounded inexcusably corporate, from its too-timely rap-rock sound to the long list of ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:N.E.R.D. 'Seeing Sounds' You already know the story of the Neptunes, Grammy Award winning producers and songwriters Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, but the N.E.R.D. trio consists of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and longtime friend and creative wunderkind, Shae Haley. The album is a blistering mash-up of booming hip-hop beats and rollercoastering rock riffs, rumbling crunk rhythms and scintillating soul music. Whereas their first album, 'In Search Of...,' was an imaginative, exploration of identities, and their ...
Editorial Product Review: :\N :Reunited with producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante (both of whom were on board for the 1991's breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik), the Chili Peppers waste no time in burying their last effort, the so-so One Hot Minute. Californication's kickoff cut, 'Around the World,' swaggers around the room, reacquainting itself with old fans and welcoming new ones. Fuzzy Hendrix vibes and popcorn bass lines still rule the roost, along with a heaping helping of ...
Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
