The Killers - Sawdust

Artist: The Killers Review: This b-sides-and-rarities comp is split between glammy synth-pop like "Sweet Talk" and straighter, heavier rock like "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf." The cover of Joy Division's "Shadowplay" should have stayed in the vaults, but it's hard to deny Brandon Flowers' melodic gifts, which fuel catchy uptempos like "Under the Gun" and "Where the White Boys Dance," an eerie thing that sounds like it could have come from some great lost post-punk band.

Phish - Vegas '96

Artist: Phish Review: On December 6th, 1996, Phish put on a show that featured Elvis impersonators, a cameo by Les Claypool and a set list chock-full of fan favorites — all that, in addition to the band's usual spate of bong-tastic jams. So far as Phish-heads are concerned, that was enough to make the gig a classic. But non-devotees will probably find the show — commemorated here on three CDs and a DVD — a bit uneven: A twenty-six-song extravaganza with some high moments, as well as so-so tunes and imp...

Dropkick Murphys - The Meanest Of Times

Artist: Dropkick Murphys Review: These seven Massachusetts guys know how to make even dire moments sound like a hot party. On their sixth album, fiddle, mandolin and other Gaelic accouterments adorn rave-ups like ?The State of Massachusetts,? reminding you they're a punk band with a Celtic twist. They're also songwriters -- and good ones, too, preserving their party-boy reputation while turning out giant, soulful choruses on songs both manicured and memorable: Dig tunefully sotted jams like ?Tomorrow's Industry,? which sounds ...

Imperial Teen - The Hair the TV the Baby and the Band

Artist: Imperial Teen Review: So about that title. Hair: Jone Stebbins tours with her styling scissors. TV: Roddy Bottum scored the defunct ABC series Help Me Help You. Baby: Lynn Truell, nee Perko, is pregnant in her booklet photo. Which leaves Will Schwartz as the band, still harboring dreams that these veteran art-pop up-and-comers will someday be remunerative as well as catchy. Catchy they remain on their belated fourth album -- also bright, dynamic, tender, brainy, unpretentious and civilly pansexual. But after... Rating: 3.5 Stars
