| | Yes Live And Solo: The Collection CD Yes Discography of CDs
Even though Yes fans are a rabid and dedicated bunch, does anyone really need a three-disc set of live Yes (in some fashion) as well as "solo" material? The latter is what is truly suspect here. It's true that live Yes from virtually any period has great moments, some even truly awe-inspiring, and there are some of those here, including the stunning opening track, "Yours Is No Disgrace"; a brilliant, jazzed-up "Close to the Edge"; and a moving "Homeworld." Even some of the solo material kicks, such as the gorgeous acoustic "Your Move" by Steve Howe with Jon Anderson and Chris Squire, Anderson's funky 1999 version of "Owner of a Lonely Heart," and even Squire and Billy Sherwood's "Lonesome Trail." But there is stuff that has no business here, such as Adam Wakeman and friends' version of "Long Distance Runaround" and "Going for the One," as well as Jemma Wakeman's horrific "I Believe." What a way to tarnish a three-disc set. Pick and choose carefully. ~ Thom Jurek

Live And Solo: The Collection album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's ...

Live And Solo: The Collection album
$15.65
With its titanic guitar solos, symphonic suites, and multi-layered melodies, Muse's fifth album operates under the assumption that bigger is better. This is the very definition of a super-sized album, an album that takes its cues from Queen, its lyrics from science fiction novels, and its delivery from rock opera. It's also the first time that Muse has truly sounded like Muse, as few bands since Queen have so readily explored the intersection of bombast and extravagance. THE RESISTANCE ...

Live And Solo: The Collection songs
$15.75
The third album from the urban girl trio SUGABABES features a more complex and sophisticated sound.
Sugababes straightforwardly titled third release may have lacked a single quite as striking as "Freak Like Me," the tremendous electro-clash/mash-up cash-in smash from their breakthrough sophomore set, Angels with Dirty Faces, but otherwise it improves on that album in many respects. Following the same essential template -- tuneful, R&B-inflected dance-pop with fresh-sounding but accessible productions, along with a healthy smattering of big droopy ballads -- with an expanded stylistic range, Three boasts a sonic approach both lusher and more intricately detailed, and, most significantly, stronger songwriting almost across the board, much of it contributed at least in part by the Babes themselves. And if it was less revelatory than "Freak," this album's chart-topping lead single/opener "Hole in the Head" was no less enjoyable -- a slice of bouncy, slightly off-kilter up-tempo pop reminiscent of Angels' second number one single, "Round Round." Both were produced and co-written by Xenomania, fresh from their career-making work on Girls Aloud's debut album -- and so were several of Three's other highlights, including the playfully funky "Twisted," and the ruminative, woozily floaty "Situation's Heavy." Elsewhere, Pete Craigie and Guy Sigsworth conjure up blankets of electronic gloss to swathe the barnstorming robo-pop of "Whatever Makes You Happy," the Eastern-tinged quasi-Diwali of "Million Different Ways," and the beautiful, throbbing slow-burner "Maya," a metaphysical missive to a lost ...
