Singer Alex Gaziano sounds so much like the Cure's Robert Smith that it's easy to get distracted from the intricate guitar interplay on the Kidcrash's debut album, but try not to make that mistake. It's not that his voice isn't worth listening to -- Robert Smith's anguished deadpan wail was the perfect post-punk vocal sound, and it's worth imitating -- it's just that the best stuff here is happening with the guitars, whose angular counterpoint and emotive power-chord crashes alternate nicely with intricate changes and subtly extended jazz chords. Kidcrash sounds like a math rock band with a heart, or maybe an emo band with a brain. Either way, the combination is dang near perfect and their crunchy, sideways songs seem to grow sharper hooks the more you listen to them. Highlights include the nicely structured "Until the Light Kills the Film" and a minor gem titled "Scalpel Cuts Concrete" that includes two of the loveliest twin-guitar interludes ever committed to tape (and that's twin-guitar in the Fripp/Belew sense of the term, not the .38 Special sense). Very highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson

Purchase New Ruins CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
New Ruins album
$10.09 After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with ...
| | Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)
New Ruins CD music
$11.35 NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, ...

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
New Ruins songs
$11.18 Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful weirdness and sick beats -- often supplied by the Neptunes, delivering tough, sensual rhythms in a way they haven't in a long time, but also John Hill and Wyclef Jean -- ...
| | Belin All The Way In CDs (2009) With DVD
New Ruins album
$13.75 At times, it was hard to figure out whether Berlin were an average synth pop band trying to carve out their own niche or just a mediocre rock band jumping on the new wave bandwagon. Sure, they had some good singles and radio hits, but as an album band, they left a lot to be desired. Terri Nunn was beautiful and sexy, but it seemed like Berlin wanted to be more than just a commercial band with a hot vocalist: they seemed to be striving for greatness but settled for "that'll do." Unfortunately, they never had a chance to really prove themselves, breaking up after their commercially disappointing Count Three & Pray album, released in 1986. Nunn has kept the Berlin name alive over the years, touring with a different group of musicians and playing all the hits while releasing the occasional studio or live album. With a recorded output that seems to dwindle in quality with every release, one might hope that All the Way ...
