Tragic Kingdom
(1995)
more music like this
by
No Doubt
Led by the infectious, pseudo-new wave single "Just a Girl," No Doubt's major-label debut, Tragic Kingdom, straddles the line between '90s punk, third-wave ska, and pop sensibility. The record was produced by Matthew Wilder, the auteur behind "Break My Stride" -- a clever mainstream co-opting of new wave quirkiness, and, as such, an ideal pairing. ...

Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Elvis Costello returned to the Attractions as quickly as he abandoned them, hiring the band and old producer Nick Lowe to record Blood & Chocolate, his second record in the span of one year. Where King of America was a stripped-down roots rock affair, Blood & Chocolate is a return to the harder rock of This Year's Model. Occasionally, there are ...

The Very Best of Elvis Costello
(2001)
more music like this
by
Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello seems to have an aversion to presenting his work in a logical, comprehensive fashion, if the double-disc The Very Best of Elvis Costello is any indication. Like its predecessor, Girls Girls Girls, it sprawls over two discs, with very little regard to chronology or style, baffling and enticing listeners in equal measure. Although ...

by
Kidz Bop Kids
The indefatigable Kidz Bop series continues with Kidz Bop, Vol. 5, another roundup of pop hits performed by session musicians and a chorus of kid vocalists. The album gets off to a relatively strong start with two of 2003's best and biggest singles, "Crazy in Love" and "Hey Ya!" Adding kids' voices to the chorus of "Crazy in Love" doesn't detract ...

The Young Rascals
The Rascals move into the era of psychedelia with a vengeance on this album -- their best of their entire history -- which also retains a soulful core and adds a bit of a Latin beat. The original album on Atlantic was a monster seller thanks to the title track, practically the group's signature tune (number one on the pop charts, number three on R ...

by
Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello assembled this compilation himself. It is highly idiosyncratic, not the least of its peculiarities being that the CD and cassette versions differ considerably. Costello describes a vague concept in his notes, but the collection of songs (47 on the CDs, 51 on the cassettes) seems a jumble. At least he demonstrates that songs from ...

Kathy Mattea
Veteran country singer Kathy Mattea returns with her third album on Narada, and it's easily her most consistent since she joined the label. Self-produced, Mattea once more layers in all her favorite touches like Bill Cooley's bouzouki and Randy Leago playing both accordion and sitar on the title cut, which opens the set. This track underscores a ...

by
The Sounds
The Sounds embrace the decades-old bands that have inspired them to an unhealthy, cover band-like extent -- they pose for photographs as if they're Blondie, and they both look and play the part, with black T-shirts, faded jeans, and snappy three-minute songs with trebly keyboard vamps and tightly wound guitar riffs. But the thing you cannot take ...

by
Various Artists
It would be easy to mistake Kids Picks -- Hit Mix for Kidz Bop, Vol. 4 -- aside from the concept of kids singing along to pop hits that they both share, the albums share very similar track listings. Both sport versions of "Sk8ter Boi," "Miss Independent," and "Jenny from the Block," along with many other songs. However, the kids actually sing more ...

Collecting items from their various other Turkish albums, Arc here has a nice, single-disc retrospective of previous work in the area. The music itself covers the spectrum, from timeless gypsy love songs to 20th century oud and saz pieces in a light classical form. Much of the work is excellent, with nods to tradition as well as the present, and ...

This is what most die-hard Elvis Costello fans -- or at least those who valued restraint in either their budget or shelf space -- were dreading when they heard that Rhino would be reissuing his entire Columbia catalog again, just a few years after Rykodisc had already released expanded editions of each album. That is, this expanded, double-disc ...

"Now, I don't have the soul of Joni, and I cannot see myself like Miss Laura," sang Melissa Manchester on "Funny That Way," thus marking out the competition.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the sons of Jimmy Webb ("The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress") have an affinity for emotional bombast and Baroque flourishes. Their second album is full of soaring choruses and orchestral backdrops that might as well have been inspired by Tunesmith, Webb the Elder's giant treatise on the art of song. Less predictable ...
