Waiting for My Rocket to Come

by
Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz's Waiting for My Rocket to Come is a two-part invention. The first level is that of a young, almost compelling, singer/songwriter. Mraz has a nice voice, perhaps a little too articulated at times, which manages to mostly avoid the histrionic despite a predilection towards show tuney melodic turns. His voice tumbles out on top of folk ...

Tonight, Not Again: Jason Mraz Live at the Eagles Ballroom [CD/DVD]
(2004)

by
Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz made quite an impression in 2003. With his lopsided eyes and irritatingly cockeyed cap, he was the anti-John Mayer even as he was his peer. For Mraz didn't so much wish to be the junior Dave Matthews as he did the non-threatening folk-pop jangle dealer -- a one-man O.A.R. for the spaghetti-strapped masses. And who needs bubblegum lips ...

The Best of the Tubes [Capitol]
(1992)
more music like this
by
The Tubes
The Tubes were true American rock & roll originals who appeared to be headed for permanent cult-band status and a footnote for the minor hit "White Punks on Dope." However, having signed with Capitol at the beginning of the '80s, the group enjoyed a couple of successful albums, several radio hits, and a solid profile on the fledgling MTV. The Best ...

Take 6
Take 6's second recording is almost the equal of their first. The six singers (Mark Kibble, Claude V. McKnight III, Cedric Dent, David Thomas, Mervyn E. Warren and Alvin Chea) perform some near-miraculous ensembles on a variety of original material, all of which contains gospel-oriented lyrics. Take 6's first two CDs are their strongest, before ...

The Final Rip Off

more music like this
by
Monty Python
This ironically titled set was not the final Monty Python anthology; contrarily, it is the troupe's first CD compilation. Nor could it be considered a ripoff, as it draws upon practically all of their albums, the exceptions being their debut long-player, Monty Python's Flying Circus (1970), as well as the Life of Brian (1979) and The Meaning of ...

Outside Inside
(1983)
more music like this
by
The Tubes
Another bit of clever packaging outside (the record label featured an iris that appeared through a cutout on the sleeve) and inside, where producer David Foster and even more members of Toto help the Tubes punch up their new radio-ready sound with added energy. If their last record showed a newfound dancefloor sensibility, Outside Inside is ...

Not that this hasn't been done before on albums like Wood Panel Pacer Wagon With Mags and Bllllaaarrrrrggghhh!-A Music War (which was on a 7" format no less), but that doesn't mean a compilation featuring over 100 bands on one record never fails to entertain. And the advantage Short Music for Short People has in comparison to the aforementioned ...

Greatest Hits
(1990)
more music like this
by
The Jive Five
This contains all the Brooklynites' early hits and just-as-good B-sides, but omits later recordings, so it isn't definitive. Still, it doesn't get much better than "My True Story," "Begging You Please," "Hurry Back," "Never, Never," and "These Golden Rings," all heavyweight, doo wop-influenced ballads. The syncopated "Rain" has the same feel of ...

Evildoers Beware
(1997)
more music like this
by
Mustard Plug
Even though it is plagued by the sophomoric humor ("Beer Song," anyone?) that makes third-wave ska revival a frat favorite, Evildoers Beware is still an infectious party record, demonstrating that Mustard Plug have become tighter and funkier through constant touring, even if their songwriting hasn't improved dramatically. Stephen Thomas Erlewine ...

by
Lindisfarne
Lindisfarne's third album, following two huge successes, was their make-or-break record, in terms of staying a major British act or achieving a major international following. It fell short of the mark, as far as the British rock press was concerned, and the group never recovered, splitting into two factions and breaking up soon after. Precisely ...

Released in July of 1996, Big Fine Thing is an exceptionally mature work considering that New York's Darlahood recorded the major-label debut not too long after playing their first shows in 1995. The accomplished recording suggests that singer/guitarist/songwriter Luke Janklow had been honing his six-string chops and songwriting skills for years, ...

With Joey, Johnny, and Dee Dee gone and lounging at the great CBGB's in the sky, it has fallen to Marky Ramone to hold up the legacy of the most influential punk band of all time, and while as second drummer with the Ramones he had only so much to do with the band's sound, he's been making a game effort at keeping the old-school punk flag flying, ...

Collectors Gold Series is a resequenced reissue of Relic Records' anthology My True Story, with the same mastering job and liner notes. "My True Story" is the crown jewel of the collection; it's a chart topping doo wop classic that shows off lead singer Eugene Pitt's soaring falsetto and songwriting ability.

The Mumps were the sort of band who were destined not to fit in wherever they landed -- their particular combination of pop hooks, rock guitar figures, full-on glam flamboyance, wickedly funny lyrics and unashamed charisma added up to music that was a little too smart for the house no matter where they played. The fact their lead singer Lance Loud ...

As Kevin Tihista explains in Judo's liner notes, Judo contains songs that were originally intended for a planned double-CD release called "Back to Budapest."

Shawn Lane's solo debut, Powers of Ten, showcases a phenomenally talented guitarist and musician who, unfortunately, doesn't seem to understand his own limitations. Emerging from digital silence with Steve Vai-like drama, "Not Again," the opening song on the record, is typical of the fusiony guitar-driven instrumentals that make up the bulk of ...
