The creative leap Radiohead made between its first album, 1993's Pablo Honey, and its second, 1995's The Bends, was both unexpected and expansive, effectively unburdening the group from the one-hit-wonder status they'd lugged around since the success of their gimmicky debut single, "Creep. " But if The Bends garnered the English quintet some much-needed artistic credibility, the astonishing emotional and compositional complexity of 1997's OK Computer catapulted the group into the realm of idolatry. Essentially a post-Orwellian meditation on the debilitating clutter of modern life and the desire to escape from it, OK Computer is art-rock at its most rewarding and contradictory -- subtly layered but startlingly bombastic, melancholic but beautifully serene, fractured and chaotic but completely sure of its own sonic ambition.

Where The Light Gets In
By Gray, Jason
Jason Gray s new album, Where the Light Gets In, is a stirring weave of sorrow, light, hope, and even of celebration. The sonic cohesiveness of the thirteen-song project is nonetheless remarkable, considering the tracks were built simultaneously by nine different producers (Jason Ingram, Ben Glover, & others) with one or two songs apiece. Jason s new radio single, Sparrows , went for early adds on K-Love, Sirius XM, among others with an official add date of 4/1 and is climbing the NCA charts.

Paper Trail
By T.i.,
T.I. has grown to truly be one of his generation's most captivating speakers. Whether he's conversing frankly with a room full of youth about the positive side of staying in school and following their dreams, or moving tens of thousands at one of his concerts, the audiences are immediately engrossed by the King of the South's words. T.I., here delivers his most potent and important LP to date; 'Paper Trail.' The title is a direct reference to T.I.'s return to literally writing down his lyrics- a practice he hasnt engaged in since his debut. By going back to the basics T.I. has evolved into a better MC. The album features guest appearances and production by Lil Wayne. Rihanna, Usher, The Dream, Fall Out Boy, Kanye West, B.O.B, John Legend, DJ Toomp, Swizz Beatz, Drumma Boy, & Danja.

Down Every Road 1962 - 1994
By Haggard, Merle
Merle Haggard is a rarity: a complex artist whose rich scope can accurately be summarized through singles, but who has far more great material than can be fit on one or two discs. Which, of course, makes him the perfect candidate for a box set of four CDs It's not just the perfect Merle Haggard box set, it's one of the greatest box sets ever released as well, since it truly presents all sides of its subject, while offering nothing but sheer pleasure in terms of mere listening.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
By Williams, John
Who better than composer John Williams, who scored Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone, to wave his magical baton and conjure the mystery and excitement engendered by Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, the second film adaptation in J. K. Rowling's beloved series? After all, Williams has been nominated for an unprecedented 471 Academy Awards, for music that includes the scores for such enchanting films as Star Wars, E. T. : The Extra-Terrestrial, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The excitement begins right off the bat with "Prologue: Book II and the Escape from the Dursleys, " an invitation into the enchanted world that commences with a delicate theme stated by chimes, which are soon joined by a swirl of violins punctuated by escalating brass.

Disney Pixar Greatest
By Gabriel, ~ Peter
All Music Guide - James Christopher Monger Disney's Pixar films have been about as consistent as the sunrise since 1995's Toy Story, but the same cannot be said for the requisite musical numbers that have served as convenient bathroom breaks for both kids and parents over the course of nine mostly extraordinary films. While there have been some truly memorable offerings from Randy Newman ("You've Got a Friend in Me," Peter Gabriel ("Down to Earth"), and Michael Giacchino -- the latter's contributions to Ratatouille were actually integral to the story -- they mostly come off as semi-enjoyable filler. Disney Pixar Greatest Hits collects 25 tracks from their award-winning feature films, only a few of which...
