| | Tribute: A Tribute To Public Image LTD CD
Like Ginger Baker, Tony Williams, and a dozen or so other people, Martin Atkins once drummed for Public Image Ltd., and now he has honored his former band by organizing a tribute album. Anyone familiar with Atkins' post-PiL activities won't be surprised that it comes from his own label and involves a number of artists he has known, respected, and played with throughout the years. While it would be kind of wrongheaded to think of any PiL cover as sacrilege, since the group took pride in disregarding sacred rock conventions during its first few years (much more so than the Sex Pistols), there's nothing here that's worth getting worked up about, whether you're a PiL freak or a fan of some of the groups that provide the covers. Like most tributes, it needn't be heard more than once. Flat reproductions (the Winterbrief's energy-starved "Bad Baby"), intriguing interpretations (Irmin Schmidt & Kumo's "Banging the Door" brings a different form of menace), and failed experimentations (Jared Louche's languishing, lumbering "Poptones") are provided in roughly equal numbers. One of these groups should've picked a song off 1992's dismal That What Is Not, only to play it as if it originally belonged on one of the first three albums. That would've at least been a funny statement about PiL's drastic slide. ~ Andy Kellman

Purchase Tribute: A Tribute To Public Image LTD CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Tribute: A Tribute To Public Image LTD album
$12.85 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 his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never pushing tunes in unexpected directions. Many would argue having Dylan croon these carols is unexpected enough and, true, there are times ...

Tribute: A Tribute To Public Image LTD 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 ...

| | Green Day 21st Century Breakdown CD (2009)
Tribute: A Tribute To Public Image LTD album
$12.99 Still enamored of the concept of the concept album more than four years after AMERICAN IDIOT, Green Day unveiled its rock-opera sequel, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, in 2009. Like its predecessor, BREAKDOWN wholeheartedly embraces the iconic punk-pop act's shift to a stadium-filling sound, while also remaining loyal to the San Francisco-based trio's progressive sociopolitical outlook. Even with a president in the White House that outspoken frontman Billie Joe Armstrong supports, he still finds plenty to rail against, with much of BREAKDOWN alluding to the earlier Bush years of the new millennium, particularly the surging, Queen-like title track.
Aiding Armstrong and his comrades in their sonic ...
