Wagner
By Goerne, Matthias
"The orchestra's playing, bolstered by marvelous performances by brasses and woodwinds, is consistently on an aptly Wagnerian scale, and Zweden paces a performance of grandeur and gravity." --Joseph Newsome, Voix-des-arts.com, November 4, 2015Classics Today: Artistic Quality 9 Sound Quality 9"...It makes you hungry for the rest...""...The recording is clean and clear, with no artificial anything. Van Zweden's approach is closest in memory to Herbert von Karajan's-intimate and chamber-like, a family drama that happens to be played out in magical, mythological terms. Also like Karajan, van Zweden takes his time (at 2 hours and 33 minutes, this is on the longish side) and offers seamless segues between scenes..." "..

Last Building Burning
By Nothings, Cloud
Last Building Burning is the product of eight days with producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O) ) ) , Wolves in the Throne Room, Boris) in Texas studio Sonic Ranch. Clocking in just over half an hour, the eight-song album sees Cloud Nothings capture their onstage appeal with help from Dunn, who Baldi describes as "technically minded without relying on technology to perfect the live sound." In that, Last Building Burning is a return to Cloud Nothing's sharpest form - the unhinged, feverish, guitar-heavy sound that they explode with onstage - without their early angst. "It's not an angry record," says Baldi. "It's a very joyous thing for me. And it feels so nice to scream again, especially when you know people in the crowd will be screaming along back at you.

Birdie
By Beach, Dog Slaughter
Slaughter Beach, Dog started as a side project for Jake Ewald, one of Modern Baseball's two singer/songwriters. The band was born out of a case of writer's block, Jake used the first LP to experiment with writing from the point of view of fictional characters in the fictional town of Slaughter Beach to break off from the ultra-personal technique he'd developed in his main project. After Modern Baseball announced their hiatus last year, Slaughter Beach, Dog became Jake's main vehicle, giving him a chance to go all in on developing as a songwriter. Now free of the restrictions of being in a band with certain expectations already attributed to it, Birdie is Jake's introduction to his next chapter. Combining writing styles and flowing free between truth and fiction, the album takes Jake's signature mouth-full writing style, adds in some new influences from bands like Wilco, The Weakerthans, Jets To Brazil and Pedro The Lion, and comes out with something completely fresh.

The White Stripes Greatest Hits
By Stripes, The White
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
2020 collection, the first-ever official anthology of recordings from the iconic rock duo, Jack and Meg White, is an essential career-spanning collection highlighting 26 previously released songs. From late 90s flashes of brilliance through early 2000s underground anthems, masterful MTV Moon Man moments, Grammy-grabbing greatness, and worldwide stadium chants, the songs here are as wide-ranging as you can imagine. In an era of streaming where the idea of a Greatest Hits album may seem irrelevant that an acts most streamed songs are considered their de facto "hits" we wholeheartedly believe that great bands deserve Greatest Hits and that a large part of Third Man Records and The White Stripes successes have been built on zigging when the rest of the music business is zagging. Thus, for a great band with great fans, a greatest hits compilation for The White Stripes is not only appropriate, but absolutely necessary.
