If you're looking for retro sounds, you usually can't go wrong with the latest releases by the Bomp and Alive labels, and the self-titled debut full-length by the Milky Ways is no different. Although released in 2006, the album wouldn't have been exactly out of place in 1966. Sounding like it was recorded in a basement studio (or a garage with microphones strewn about), the Milky Ways' debut automatically brings to mind such classic '60s garage rockers as the Sonics, back when the charisma and personality of the tunes and live performances were the most important thing, not ProTools twiddling. Comprised of members that have previously been spotted in obscure outfits (the Spaceshits, the Del-Gators, Les Sexareenos), the fun-seeking quartet can sure cook up one heck of a racket, as evidenced by such lo-fi standouts as the album opening "Shattered" (not to be confused with the Rolling Stones song of the same name) and the Yardbirds-ish "Got My Mojo Back." Despite hailing from the great white north (Montreal, to be exact), the Milky Ways' is straight out of '60s Detroit. ~ Greg Prato

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Milky Ways CD music
$16.44 Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs mingling with those who co-opt her on the radio, she still is slightly skewed, willing to go so far over the top she goes beyond camp, yet still channeling it through songs that are written, not just hooks. The Fame Monster builds upon ...
| | Neil Young Harvest Moon Live CD (2009)
Milky Ways music CDs
$14.80 Unlike previous entries in Neil Young's Archives series, Dreamin' Man Live '92 does not capture a specific gig. Instead, it's a compilation of highlights from the tour he took prior to recording Harvest Moon, as he aired the album's ten songs alone with his guitar (or on one occasion each, his piano and banjo). Although every one of the album's cuts is here, this isn't a strict re-creation of the album, ...
| | Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD (1994)
Milky Ways songs
$8.75 At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a ...

| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Milky Ways CD music
$17.59 Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which are eventually overcome by a guitar crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album becoming ponderous either as the economical tracklist and purposeful songs wipe away the sins of their previous album, 2005's ROSENROT. The group's ...

Milky Ways songs
$14.29 Prog rock circa the early 21st century was quite a different beast than when the genre first appeared on the scene in the 1970s. Originally, the style was much more gritty sounding, and while there was an exorbitant amount of extended jams/solos, the playing wasn't always virtuosic (in other words, a flubbed note or two wasn't a cardinal sin). But later on, the production of prog records became increasingly sterile, with the instrumentalists never ever dropping a note. In fact, ...
