  • The jazz album to end all jazz albums. Miles Davis and John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly and the list goes on. The who's who of who's who in jazz have assembled for this monumental record. Get this

• One Word Extinguisher

  • 8 out of 5
  • Prefuse 73
  • Reviewed by Darla Sasaki

  • 
  • It's an album about a breakup, done with beats instead of mopey lyrics. But the beats are raw, and the emotions are there, even if there aren't many words on top of it. While possibly not Scott Herren

  • This one will haunt you. From the first notes to the last, their sound surrounds you. BOC has put out a fantastic catalogue, and this album is a great starting point for a new listener. Jump straight

• Physical Graffiti

  • 10 out of 5
  • Led Zeppelin
  • Reviewed by Ricky Spero
  • 
  • 
  • This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har

  • R.E.M.
  • Reviewed by Dave Hamilton

  • Joe Williams

  • Joe Williams was Figure Two in my three-man education in singing. A brilliant vocalist, scatter, and interpreter of jazz and blues, Williams produces music that's totally unique, yet sounds so effortl

  • 
  • The soundtrack to this moving off-broadway musical is heart moving. The lyrics follow a couple in a relationship for five years, one point of view going forward in time, and the other tracing time fr

  • Alanis Morissette
  • Reviewed by Darla Sasaki
  • 
  • 
  • Ten years after the original release, comes the traditional celebratory acoustic re-recording. The album has held up remarkably well. While it is not as meaningful to me as it was when I was sixteen,

• Spilt Milk

  • 10 out of 5
  • Jellyfish
  • Reviewed by Darla Sasaki
  • 
  • 
  • The second and final album from this power-pop group makes me wish Jellyfish had been able to make just one more record together. The album is best enjoyed as a whole piece, flowing from one track to
