"mOBSCENE," reeks of ANGEL DUST-era Faith No More. "Para Noir" offers a romantic agenda in grand Manson style, with little chance for radio edit status. "Better Of Two Evils" and "Your Fist And Not Your Mouth" rally with undeniable choruses while "This Is The New Shit" nails a Korn-inflected groove. The set's down-tempo title track is built around a haunting piano line, and "(s)AINT" deftly captures the Powerman 5000 style. The album track most likely to get extensive re-mixing is the incredibly catchy "Ka-boom Ka-boom." THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE drops yet another bomb on convention, and Marilyn Manson clearly planned it that way.

  • PERSEVERANCIA was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Salsa/Merengue Album.Puerto Rican salsa star Tito Rojas continues his winning streak of solo albums with PERSEVERANCIA. A lively outing carried by the charming vocals of Rojas, this set is highly rhythmic and immediately infectious. Songs such as "Me Enamoro Mas de Ti" and "Me Tiene Enamorao" shuffle giddily along, lifted by excellent horn arrangements, while "Como a Ti Te Gusta" features a slightly melancholy undercurrent. Overall, the proceedings are undeniably upbeat, and any listener will have a hard time resisting the urge to get up and dance to Rojas and his accomplished band of musicians.

Originally born in the lighthearted spirit of cover albums such as Metallica's GARAGE DAYS series, RENEGADES is an assembly of interpretations of protest songs that spans many musical styles.From the funk treatment of the obscure "Pistol Grip Pump" (originally recorded by Volume 10), to the slowed-down, stomping groove of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams," there is seemingly no song the band can't transform and make their own. Identifying closely with Rage Against The Machine's political ideals are Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk," and the previously single-only cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad." In what fans might optimistically interpret as a hint of what is to follow, two hidden live tracks round out RENEGADES' 60-plus minute assault.

Sound familiar? Fat Joe once counted Big Pun as a stablemate, and J.O.S.E. starts out with a heartfelt tribute to the late star. It's strictly business from then on, however, with "King of N.Y." making claims for Joe's supremacy over the Tri-State area, with vocal encouragement from dancehall toaster Buju Banton and "Definition of a Don" (featuring the immortal line "If I can't afford it I'll extort it") consolidating his claims of domination. Elsewhere R. Kelly makes an appearance on the R&B-flavored "We Thuggin'" which documents a night out on the town, while the mightily bankable Ludacris is featured on "Get the Hell on With That," proving that, if nothing else, Fat Joe can pick his partners with impunity.

  • This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Personnel includes: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Zakk Wylde (guitar); Robert Trujillo (bass); Mike Bordin (drums).Recorded live at Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan on February 15, 2002.Fans fretting that Ozzy's reputation has been transformed into that of a distaff Robert Young thanks to the runaway success of the MTV reality show The Osbournes can breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the fire-breathing performance rendered on LIVE AT BUDOKAN. Fronting a quartet that includes longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde (latest in a long line of hot-shot guitarists dating back to the late Randy Rhodes), Suicidal Tendencies bassist Robert Trujillo, and Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin, the Ozzman is in ferociously fine form.Hop-scotching through his considerable canon with Wylde providing molten riffs throughout, Ozzy delivers scalding versions of classics ranging from "I Don't Know" and "Crazy Train" to an over-the-top reading of "Mr. Crowley" juiced up by John Sinclair's ominous keyboard intro. Ozzy shows his range with the prog-metal psychedelia of "No More Tears," the heartfelt emoting that defines the smash power ballad "Mama I'm Coming Home," and the soaring semi-autobiography "Road To Nowhere." Although the only Sabbath number included in this set is the overplayed "Paranoid," the rest of LIVE AT BUDOKAN crackles with the kind of energy that you're not going to find on a re-run of Father Knows Best.

  • The songs here are oldies, the Mills Brothers are no spring chickens themselves, and the style of these performances, recorded in the 1940s and '50s, smacks of a bygone day, but there's something eternally youthful about the Mills's vocals. All four brothers possess striking voices and an impeccable sense of timing.The ebullience of "Glow Worm" lifts the pop song from its time period and transforms it into something eternal. "Lazy River" does the same, starting out sedate and relaxed, and building with a rhythmic gait and swinging zeal. "You Always Hurt the One You Love," like all the group's best efforts, finds their sense of rhythm further enhanced by their knowing way with lyrics and musical phrasing. This sense of intimacy with their material is what gives the songs something else that's ageless--romance.

Having already denounced police brutality and an unfair American drug policy on their debut FELONS AND REVOLUTIONARIES, Edsel Dope and company take a more introspective turn this time out while using grooves to gild the crypto-industrial energy that's at the core of Dope's sound. Self-empowerment lies at the heart of LIFE and can be heard in the hypocrite-hating "Die MF Die," anthemic single "Now Or Never," and defiant "Take Your Best Shot".The band's vitriol does get reigned in enough at times to allow for surprises like Edsel singing rather than spitting out the lyrics on the melodic "With Or Without You" and the equally engaging "Crazy". These reprieves are only temporary as the band's inherent intensity seems within the realms of a quasi-optimistic rant like "March Of Hope," which finds the singer vowing to "Spit into the face of your authority". Surly teens everywhere are sure to rejoice upon hearing this anarchy-fueled Molotov cocktail of musical mayhem.

  • Producers include: Steely & Clevie, Shane Richards, Danny Brownie, D. Juvenile, Donovan Germain.Mr. Vegas, born Clifford Smith, was once a smooth-voiced singer known in Jamaica for his sweet tone. However, a fight one night at a recording studio--over the ownership of a DAT tape--resulted in Smith's jaw being broken with an iron pipe. After a few weeks in the hospital with his jaw wired shut, he ordered the wiring removed and came back with a new vocal style combining rap with singing. HEADS HIGH is a typical dancehall album in the sense that lyrically, it is mostly concerned with women, braggadocio, and "cabin stabbin." However, HEADS HIGH is an interesting album. Mr. Vegas's vocal style is not only well suited to the genre but has a distinctive tone all its own, which Mr. Vegas creates by semi-singing his raps. The beats are well done and quite varied across the 20 tracks. This album's title track was a huge hit, holding at No. 1 on the U.K. charts for 10 weeks and becoming a staple in any hip-hop DJ's reggae sets. Mr. Vegas was nominated as Best International Reggae Act for England's 1998 MOBO awards. Not bad for a rookie effort.
