| | Used Lies For The Liars CD Used Discography of CDs
Just as My Chemical Romance considerably expanded its sonic scope with 2006's THE BLACK PARADE, fellow brooding emo act the Used opted to expand its sound with '07's LIES FOR THE LIARS, the band's first studio album since '04's IN LOVE AND DEATH. Evidence of this change is immediately apparent on the album's lead single, "The Bird and the Worm," which is heralded by ominous Wagnerian strings, and impressively showcases frontman Bert McCracken's dynamic vocals. Clearly eager to shed the "emo" tag, the Utah-based group unabashedly moves into metal territory throughout much of LIES, a notion reinforced by the slinky, hard-rock-like "Pretty Handsome Awkward." Though some Used fans may long for the ensemble's angsty earlier work, most listeners will be too floored by this record's aggressive and visionary new aesthetic to care.

Spin (p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Handsome' is easily one of the best songs that McCracken and his scraggly bandmates have written. Both pissed off and impossibly catchy, it's an undeniable anthem..."

"Rocky Mountain Way," the tune that opens Joe Walsh's sophomore release (and remains one of his best-known songs), is a textbook example of Walsh's strengths.

| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Lies For The Liars music CDs
$12.95 
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 coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk ...
| | The Very Best Of Enya CDs (2009) With DVD
Lies For The Liars songs
$21.00  
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in the pot and out of the way, it's easier to appreciate hidden gems like "Cursum Perficio," "Boadicea," "Trains and Winter Rains," and "Anywhere Is." Also notable is the inclusion of "May It Be" and a previously unreleased version of "Aníron (I Desire)," both of which originally appeared on the soundtrack for the first ...

| | Ely Guerra Lotofire CD (2002)
Lies For The Liars music CDs
$10.09
Lotofire might be Ely Guerra's U.S. debut, but there's an experienced performer behind this disc -- in her native Mexico it's her third record. And accomplished it certainly is, while also intelligent and mostly off the beaten path. Even the two tracks that veer closest to alternative rock have a definite tweak -- thanks to the involvement of producers Andres Levin and Arto Lindsay, while guitarist Marc Ribot offers some left-field contributions. Ultimately, though, it's down to Guerra, and she has the songs and voice to make this work, as in "Profunidad," which takes a bizarre but intriguing turn into dub close to the end. Guerra's part-Brazilian heritage -- her father is from there -- colors a lot of the rhythms, as in the stripped-down "El Mar," where she shows the power of her magic through simplicity. There's no singer/songwriter out there, in any language, who's mining similar territory and taking so many chances, and her breathy voice has a seductive, languid air that connects with the innate sensuality of some of the material. That's not to say the focus is on romance; anything but. "Vete" deals with the ...
