"The Man Who"
Travis
CD on Sale
"The Man Who" has enjoyed a comfortable stay at the top of
the U.K. charts as stateside fans have waited patiently for
it to arrive on U.S. shores. Britpop followers in America
are getting a taste of an album that visits Radiohead's
musical haunts--and they're finding that Travis's ghosts
aren't quite so demented.
"Supergrass"
Supergrass
CD on Sale
One of the most consistently compelling rock releases of the
year, the self-titled third release from this Brit trio
offers hooky delights at every turn. These guys wear their
influences on their sleeves, be they Mott the Hoople or
Bowie or the Beatles. Still, they blend those sounds of yore
into something contemporary and vital.
"Imagine"
John Lennon
CD on Sale
"Imagine" stands as John Lennon's most successful solo album
because it most deftly balances his many commanding
characteristics. From the scathing anti-McCartney screed
"How Do You Sleep?" to the idealistic title track, this is
the smart Beatle with all his peaceful, prickly qualities
wrapped up in an accessible--and digitally remastered--sonic
setting.
"Return of Saturn"
No Doubt
CD on Sale
Following the megaplatinum success of 1995's "Tragic
Kingdom," No Doubt make a second run up the charts with a
follow-up which demonstrates that the band's ska/new-wave/
pop groove is as infectious as ever. Meanwhile, an enriched
sense of songcraft is apparent from Gwen Stefani and the
guys.
