| | Kosher Self Control CD Kosher Discography of CDs
Kosher's Self Control has a really great cover. Featuring a cut-and-paste portrait of an angry punk yelling on the front and featuring titles like "Bored in America" and "Revolution," the packaging sells the band as an angry force of music. It is important to know that, because the cover represents everything that is wrong with the album. The band seems to have mastered the art of creating this aura of punk around themselves, but they never quite bothered to make the songs to match the attitude. For example, the song "Revolution" starts with a pretty simplistic riff and a sweet drum part, which seems to point toward the song building to something even better. But after the vocals kick it, it simply keeps doing the exact same thing, but with a singer over it. There is a nice breakdown in the middle, leading to an even faster version of what was going on before that. And then the song ends, leaving the listener with the bare minimum of what a punk song should deliver. The vocals are lifted straight out of Rancid and the lyrics are lifted right from a high school poetry class, while the actual music sounds like any number of faceless punk-pop groups, only angrier. The album is definitely not all bad; in fact, "Hypocrite Catastrophe" is quite catchy and has some good lyrics, while "Robot" has a great D.R.I.-style buildup and some good Pennywise chant-along moments. But for the most part, this is pretty average punk rock from a band with a great image, but no songs to match it. ~ Bradley Torreano

Purchase Self Control CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Self Control album
 $11.18   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a ...

$19.34 
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost ...

Some albums take a while to find their tone, but Sneaky Thieves have captured their desired atmosphere with the leadoff number "Elegy," a pretty, poignant and pleasing instrumental that conjures up images of Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Sigur Rós without the ethereal vocals. This leads somewhat awkwardly into a lighter, thoughtful and focused pop number "With a Smile in a Suit" which is driven by "Freddy Bale" and his earnest warble. The atmosphere is quite important to the songs, whether it is during the close, hushed tone taken during the aptly titled "Quiet" or the rather mundane jazz-tinted "Nothing, Nothing" which is basically nothing to turn one's head. Fortunately, that's often the exception as Sneaky Thieves deliver "Old Tired Joke" with an almost Radiohead-like precision for very strong results. Just as fulfilling despite being half the length is the melancholic "Across the Field," which seems perfect for rainy Sunday fall evenings. Some efforts in the middle sag, including an interlude that is horrid filler, or padding at best. Yet the group wins the listener over again with sparse, inviting jewels such as "The Din" and possibly the lone uplifting or up-tempo number "The Point Is This..." with its winding, heady bridge portion. Only during "Forgotten" does the band seem to fall into the eerie or slow-building tension category with its growing use of violins. "Coughing" closes things out the same sweet and precious way it began, as Freddy Bale is a one-man band. ~ Jason MacNeil
