Issued in early 2008, Metro Station's self-titled debut is the sound of emo-rock going pop. Given the HANNAH MONTANA connections of singer/guitarists Mason Musso and Trace Cyrus--who are older brothers of that Disney TV show's Mitchel Musso ... Full Descriptionand Miley Cyrus, respectively--it's no surprise that the Hollywood-based band is highly accessible (see the energetic "Seventeen Forever"), though it may be a bit of a shock to hear Billy Ray Cyrus's son performing introspective synth-driven tunes such as the brooding "Control" (think the Faint-lite) and New Wave-inspired "Wish We Were Older."
Metro Station: Trace Cyrus, Mason Musso (vocals, guitar); Anthony Improgo (drums); Blake Healy (programming).
Additional personnel: Josh Cain (guitar, bass guitar); Justin Pierre (guitar, background vocals); Sean Gould (guitars).

After the tragic suicide of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, the band restructured. Guitarist Bernard Sumner, whose gift for combining the melodic with the hypnotic had been the band's cornerstone, stepped up to the microphone. The resulting debut MOVEMENT finds the group taking a brave step away from its unfortunate past. Preserved are Joy Division's dark edges--Sumner's guitar attack swerves deftly between funereal repetition and noisy bursts, while bassist Peter Hook continues to explore his instrument's upper registers.
From the slow, deliberate build and melodic interplay of its opening moment, the mid-tempo "Dreams never End," MOVEMENT boldly states the band's more experimental, slightly less emotionally turgid agenda. That Sumner is trapped under the influence of Curtis is undeniable--at times, the resemblance is alarming, but MOVEMENT is the sound of Sumner finding his voice. The spacey synth-pop of "The Him" foreshadows the sound New Order was to slowly develop, as Sumner became more comfortable with the upper reaches of his vocal range. Dynamic play abounds--the existentialist drone of "Truth" gives way to a crushing, chaotic guitar wail, while the intense, ...
| | Beatles Rubber Soul CD (1965)
Metro Station songs
$14.79 
Though some might argue that the Beatles' unprecedented evolution from British Invasion pin-ups to pop music visionaries began with BEATLES FOR SALE, RUBBER SOUL is without a doubt the first album to definitively put the Fab Four in the running for Greatest Band Ever. Virtually every aspect of the Liverpool quartet's incredibly diverse sound is in evidence here: the dark, irony-filled Dylanism ("Norwegian Wood," "Nowhere Man"), pop perfection ("In My Life"), the passion for classic tin pan alley balladry ("Girl," "Michelle"), and the love of good 'ol rock & roll music ("Drive My Car"). Peppered with nasty fuzz bass, exotic sitar, cartoonishly sped-up piano that sounds like harpsichord, and elements of country, Motown, and classical music, the album reveals a creative scope and willingness to experiment so revolutionary it can now only be termed "Beatlesque." Though the Fabs don't go as far out on a limb here as on the more overtly experimental REVOLVER, RUBBER SOUL is perhaps the Beatles' most finely crafted and accessible ...

| | Beatles Abbey Road CD (1969)
Metro Station CD music
$14.79
ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69).
After the laborious disorganization and infighting that characterized early 1969's LET IT BE sessions (as famously captured on film), the fractious four were willing to let George Martin take the reins and to work with him as a cohesive unit for the much more succinct production of their (and the decade's) swan song, ABBEY ROAD. The superb performances make the album an artistic high point for all members of the group. Paul McCartney inspired the suite of songs that begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money." Often thought of as two long medleys, the songs that fill most of the second half of ABBEY ROAD segue seamlessly into one another, but are programmed as separate CD tracks. George Harrison had his first A-side on a Beatles' single ("Something"); John Lennon contributed a pair of heavy rockers ("Come Together" and "I Want You"); and Ringo Starr's ...
| | David Sylvian Everything And Nothing CDs (2000)
Metro Station music CDs
$13.95
EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is a two-disc set of "best of" tracks from David Sylvian's career (including some with former band Japan), previously unreleased recordings, and re-recorded or otherwise alternate versions of other tracks (initial copies also included a third disc of remixes and further alternate versions). Most collections spanning such a length of time (20 years!) are spotty at best, but Sylvian's career has been unusually consistent, both in terms of direction and quality, and EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is guided by a clarity of vision absent from most compilations. Listening to it is more like hearing a new David Sylvian record than a random sampling from his catalogue. HIghlights include the usual suspects; "Blackwater," "Ghosts," and "Godman," all standouts on the albums from which they were culled. Alongside those tracks, though, is the true meat of the collection. Among the best are the breathtaking "The Scent of Magnolia," "Some Kind of Fool"--recorded for Japan's seminal GENTLEMEN TAKE POLAROIDS album but unfinished at the time--and an alternate version of "Weathered Wall" (from BRILLIANT TREES) that far and away outstrips the original. An essential purchase for Sylvian fans.
