Review:
We heard about this David Allan Coe / Pantera collaboration for years before it finally got released, a couple of years after Dime’s passing. It ain’t country, it ain’t metal, but it is fun to listen to.

Review:
Poison was one of the bands I grew up on MTV with. Between the videos for Fallen Angel and Every Rose Has It’s Thorn, these pretty-boys were part of my introduction to arguably heavier music, along with Motley Crue, Skid Row, and GnR.

Review:
Stolen from Amazon.com:
In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational “A Little Less Conversation” remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)’ Well, the ’87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. “In the Ghetto” and “Burning Love” never reached the top there, nor did “Way Down,” despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley’s 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. “A Fool Such As I,” for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland’s great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That’s definitely the case with “The Wonder of You.” A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn’t the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who’ve been singing along to “Hound Dog” on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever. –Bill Holdship

Review:
Stolen from Amazon:
This debut revolutionized hip-hop (and launched half a dozen solo careers), as much for The RZA’s raw barrage of off-kilter, off-key loops and sound effects as for its elliptically violent lyrics. Martial arts–at least as they appear in kung fu movies–are the Wu-Tang Clan’s favorite metaphor, but they’re also the organizing principle of the group, a crowd of eight rappers, each with his own way-out-there “fighting style.” They created their own little self-contained culture, with its own symbols and shifting identities, and let listeners figure it out for themselves. Unless you’re willing to immerse yourself in its world, it can be baffling and a little dry, but its aggression and originality are undeniable.

TDG’s second album expands on the first, with more alt-rock stuff that sad kids that hate their parents eat up. I still happen to like it also for some reason.

Review:
The side project of Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan from System of a Down. You can tell who wrote what for SOAD’s stuff, and I think Serj’s solo disc is a little better.
