Editorial Product Review: :This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of 'Suzanne' and 'Bird on a Wire,' the 'folksinger' tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of 'Tower of Song' and 'Everybody Knows' to the apocalyptic anthemry of 'First We Take Manhattan' and 'Democracy' suggest that ...
Editorial Product Review: :\N :In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational 'A Little Less Conversation' remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. 'In the Ghetto' and 'Burning Love' never reached the top there, nor did 'Way Down,' despite every copy of that ...

Editorial Product Review: : A Fine Frenzy Photos Amazon.com:A Fine Frenzy is actually just a fine young singer-songwriter from Seattle, born Alison Sudol. A self-taught piano player, on her debut album she pairs sweeping orchestral arrangements with dreamlike lyrics inspired by the classic works of fantasy writers like CS Lewis, EB White, and Lewis Carroll. Add to that a propensity for frilly shirts and cryptic song titles such as 'The Minnow & the Trout' and you half-expect to find a back alley Joanna Newsom. Instead ...
Editorial Product Review: :Having commemorated their tenth anniversary with a year-plus run commencing with In Your Honor (a double album the New York Times called an 'unexpected magnum opus'), sold out rock arena shows and a toned down intimate theater trek, and a headlining gig at London's Hyde Park for a crowd of 85,000, the question looms larger than any in the Foo Fighters' career to date: What do they do for an encore?!? The answer comes in the form of 'The Pretender,' the first single from the ...
Editorial Product Review: :This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ('One of These Nights,' 'Hotel California') still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, 'Hole in the World,' Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as 'Get Over ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:OneRepublic considers its music to be influenced by everyone from the Beatles to U2, and anything in between. 'We're no respector of genre,' says frontman Ryan Tedder, 'If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level...nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts.' They aspire to move their listeners the way Bono does onstage. 'You go to a U2 concert and it's like church,' Tedder ...
