  • So Jealous

    • 8 out of 10
    • Tegan and Sara
    • So Jealous is the third album from these sisters, and easily the one to single out for an introduction to their music. Some people may not get on board with their vocal styles, which are slightly

  • Go Away White

    • 10 out of 10
    • Bauhaus
    • Go Away White is an album I've been waiting more than 20 years to hear, and the good news is that it was worth the wait.  The latest -- and last, no...for real this time -- album from

  • Quadrophenia

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Who
    • Quadrophenia is everything that Tommy wanted to be, a rock opera that told a story, but one where every song could still stand alone. It was also Pete Townshend's farewell tribute to the Mod

  • 2112

    • 10 out of 10
    • Rush
    • We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.

Time Gadget of the Week: 80GB iPod

Apple's new enhanced 5G 80GB iPod earned Time's Gadget of the Week top slot, and the second generation iPod nano was a contender. Time's Wilson Rothman said "I thought the 80GB iPod was more situated at the center of Apple's big picture: movie downloads at the iTunes Store and a future in the living room. Once I had an 80GB iPod in my hand, I discovered that the wait for a living-room option wasn't as far off as Jobs had indicated."

Mr. Rothman was pleasantly surprised when he connected the new iPod to a 42-inch high-definition plasma TV and found that the iPod's video output was at least as good as standard definition broadcast TV. He also downloaded a movie from the iTunes Store and watched part of it on his MacBook. The iPod knew how much he had already watched, and picked up playback where he left off.

Apple's new earbuds rounded out the Gadget of the Week. The new style, he said, fit his ears better, and seem to be more comfortable than the original iPod earbuds they replace.
