Review:
How this gem ended up at Record Archive in the used bin I’ll never know. This is the UK Special Edition of Ten, which is in a yellow digipack, and has three extra tracks (a live version of Alive, Wash, and Dirty Frank). It’s not like I don’t own this album (and demos and the three bonus tracks) a couple of times over, but this looked like too much of a rarity to pass up. Allegedly they only made 5000 of these, so this is pretty damn cool!

Review:
The album title is a homage to ZZ’s 30 years together as a band to this point, and the 8 studio tracks pick up where Rhythmeen left off, back to the basics while making sparing use of the new technology. Also included here are 4 live tracks, including a re-worked version of Pincushion, and a cover of Elvis’ “Teddy Bear”.

Review:
The super-long-awaited side project from Chino Moreno of the Deftones finally came out in 2005. I say finally because there were live shows, leaked tracks, and postponments dating back to 2001, and this final product is a bit different than how it started out. In any event, these tracks are a far cry from anything the Deftones have done, they’re much more electronic, somber, ethereal and slower. To me, its an “atmosphere” record, something to listen to and take in without the tracks being in-your-face.

Review:
The CD portion of this is half covers, and half instrumentals. The covers are of songs that served as Wes Borland’s inspiration to play music in the first place, featuring bands like Duran Duran, Love and Rockets, Iggy Pop and such. There’s even a “cover” of a Big Dumb Face song on here as well (Blood Red Head On Fire). The instrumentals are pieces that didn’t make the cut for Cruel Melody. Also included is a DVD with a documentary of the album and tour, plus extras. Since I pre-ordered online, I also got a shirt with the order.

As the title implies, all the Hip favorites (no matter how you spell it!). I bought this for sake of completeness (I own all the albums), since it was 10 bucks up in Toronto, and now I legally own the two new/bonus/unreleased tracks, No Threat and The New Maybe.
