Greatest Hits»rank: 1458par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne question would be: What took him so long? After all, a contemporary like Van Morrison has sold boatloads of his single-disc best-of set to buyers wary of diving into that deep catalog without a primer to get them started. So three and a half decades into his solo career, Neil Young finally delivers his version of that most modest of albums--the pre-holiday 'hits' overview. What's surprising, coming from such a proud maverick, is ... |

On And On»rank: 545par: Jack Johnson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. lndeed, he Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. 'What will be will be / And so it goes' he sings on 'Times Like These,' the ... |

River - The Joni Letters»rank: 3097par: Herbie Hancock
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0n paper, River sounds like a match made in several versions of heaven. Legendary pianist Herbie Hancock re-imagines Joni Mitchell with his hand-picked, star-studded band--including saxophonist Wayne Shorter--in tow. Luminary guests lend vocals to a song apiece: Norah Jones ('Court and Spark'), Tina Turner ('Edith and the Kingpin'), Corinne Bailey Rae ('River'), Luciana Souza ('Amelia'), Leonard Cohen (with an unsettlingly sanguine version of 'The Jungle Line'), even Mitchell herself ('Tea Leaf Prophecy'). ln the ... |

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace»rank: 2057par: Foo Fighters
Chroniques et points de vue:From : ln 1997, Foo Fighters teamed with alt-rock production cornerstone Gil Norton to make their best album, The Colour and the Shape. Ten years later, they've regrouped with Norton for a disc that's more sophisticated and diverse, if a tad less rockin'. The curveballs include 'Stranger Things Have Happened,' a solo soul-searcher where leader Dave Grohl's accompanied by just his acoustic guitar and a ticking metronome, and 'Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners,' an acoustic ... |

Coco»rank: 245par: Colbie Caillat
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Even without MySpace, singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is sure to have found an audience, but her oft-accessed page accelerated the process, mostly on the strength of the effervescent 'Bubbly.' 0n her first full-length album, the California native conjures up clear skies and warm breezes. Not that the lyrics revolve around her stomping grounds of Malibu and Ventura County, but her mellow melodies sound like products of those places (co-writer Jason Reeves' ukulele playing reinforces the ... |
