Because it contains its share of memorable and inspired material -- and even a few gems -- it seems inappropriate to call Tina Turner's Break Every Rule a disappointment. But because Private Dancer was so incredible a comeback, one greeted this anxiously awaited follow-up with such high expectations that anything less than outstanding would have been disappointing. And the album isn't outstanding -- it's generally quite enjoyable and far from weak -- but not outstanding. Be that as it may, there's a lot to savor here. "Two People" is forgettable, but Turner definitely has some gems in the power ballad "I'll Be Thunder," the driving rocker "Back Where You Started" and the haunting David Bowie piece "Girls." While Private Dancer would be a much better introduction to Turner's work as a solo artist, this has more pluses than minuses. ~ Alex Henderson

 Turner does not actually break the rules with this album, but...
Following the unprecedented comeback that Turner made with 1984's "Private Dancer," almost any followup effort was bound to be greeted with a bit of skepticism and alot of critical interest, and "Break Every Rule" did not disappoint on those level. Removing "Private Dancer" as a comparative work, however, "Break Every Rule" stands as a glorious late-eighties synth-pop effort. Flawlessly produced and performed, the album seems just to glide along, and therein lies most of the albums problems. The first half of the record is filled with songs written for her by the gents responsible for what has become one the all-time greatest pop songs, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Terry Britten and Graham Lyle. Most of these new tunes are pop throwaways, however, and none are as inspiring as the former hit (although all are served well by Turner's delivery). On the second half Turner absolutely shines. From David Bowie's haunting "Girls" to the Bryan Adam's penned rocker "Back Where You Started" Turner is at the absolute top of her form. The best track on the album by far is the Mark Knoppler produced "Paradise Is Here." Not only is the one of Turner's most stunning vocal performances, but perhaps, like her inspired "River Deep, Mountain High," one of the greatest of all pop history. Considering her successful collaberations with Knoppler thus far, perhaps another offing would be wise for the pair. Had "Break Every Rule" truly lived up to it's title and been filled to the rim with tracks as strong as these, or even "Overnight Sensation" and "I'll Be Thunder" then perhaps "Break Every Rule" would have been a greater success stateside and would have sealed Turner's claim to being one of the handful of true international superstars.

Break Every Rule
$12.49
Five years on from his breakout Endtroducing..., hip-hop's reigning recluse showed he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve -- as well as many more rare grooves left for sampling. Shadow had kept a low recording profile during past years, putting out only a few mix sets alongside a pair of collaborations (Psyence Fiction by UNKLE and Quannum Spectrum). That lack of product actually helps The Private Press display just how good a producer he is; the depth of his production sense and the breadth of his stylistic palette prove just as astonishing the second time out. His style is definitely still recognizable, right from the start; "Fixed Income" and "Giving Up the Ghost" carefully layer wistful-sounding string arrangements overtop cavernous David Axelrod breaks (the latter a bit reminiscent of "Midnight in a Perfect World" from Endtroducing...). From there, though, DJ Shadow seldom treads the same path twice, switching from strutting disco breaks ("Walkie Talkie") to melancholy '60s pop that sounds like the second coming of Procol Harum ("Six Days"). "Right Thing/GDMFSOB" is pure breakers revenge, boasting accelerating, echoey electro breakbeats and enough confidence to recycle Leonard Nimoy's "pure energy" sample and make it work. Later, Shadow turns to pure aggro for the hilarious road-rage comedy of "Mashin' on the Motorway" (with Lateef the Truth Speaker behind the wheel), then summons the conceptual calm of a David Axelrod classic on the very next track ...

Released nearly a decade after the two-disc Death Row's Greatest Hits, the single-disc Very Best of Death Row is both somewhat necessary and a little bizarre. It's could be meant to right some wrongs of the earlier compilation (wisely including the original mix of Dr. Dre's "Let Me Ride" and Warren G's "Regulate"), or it's a roundabout way to welcome Petey Pablo to the ...

Break Every Rule
$11.85
Although it was released through aboveground channels, the Cunninlynguists' 2009 album STRANGE JOURNEY, VOL. 1 is essentially a mixtape, or more accurately, an imitation throwback mixtape. Free of the DJ shoutouts and drops, the set has plenty of the flavor of yesteryear when mixtapes seemed more special and fine-crafted for shelf-lives much longer than a week or a month. Blame it on all the blazing or the generally relaxed mixtape standards, but the aptly titled STRANGE JOURNEY wanders so much that newcomers might drift. Returning fans, on the other hand, get a whirlwind of high-grade remixes, collabos, and live cuts and won't mind the bumpy ride at all.
