Roger Daltrey -- Concert Review
Roger Daltrey has dubbed his current solo jaunt the "Use It or Lose It" tour, but his show Friday night at the Nokia demonstrated that sometimes you can use it and lose it as well.

Full Story »
Over You
Honor Society wraps post-breakup angst into a cathartic, three-minute package on "Over You," the opening track from the group's just-released debut album, "Fashionably Late."
Closer to the Bone
As the title suggests, Kris Kristofferson's newest album, "Closer to the Bone," is an attempt to reach new depths of vulnerability—a portrait of an old man, laid bare following his 2006 opus, "This Old Road" (which was his first recording after a 12-year hiatus).
Home Again
"Home Again," the new single from Queensrÿche's powerful "American Soldier" album, could recapture the mainstream glory that the band achieved with its 1991 dream ballad, "Silent Lucidity."
Yeah Ghost
What is Zero 7 without its unofficial, clear-voiced frontwoman Sia Furler, who left amicably last year to pursue a solo career? The answer: something very different yet unmistakably Zero 7.
Kiss & Tell
"Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know," Selena Gomez sings on the final cut on her debut album, "Kiss & Tell."
New Leaves
An album about settling down and being a new husband and father has strong potential of being viewed by some listeners as boring.
The Resistance
British rock act Muse's fifth album, "The Resistance," shows growth from the band's previous releases and proves that it's primed for a global musical takeover.
55 Cadillac
Hard rock fans itching for Andrew W.K. to release a new single like his 2001 hit "Party Hard" will be sorely disappointed by the musician's fifth album, "55 Cadillac," which consists entirely of piano improvisations.
Heaven Is The Face
Heartbreak and hope are powerfully intertwined on the lead single from Steven Curtis Chapman's Nov. 3 release, "Beauty Will Rise."
Revolution
The angry young woman who famously sang about setting kerosene fires and waiting with a loaded gun for her abusive beau has found love, and it's reflected on the diverse "Revolution."
Night By Night
The latest installment of the ultra-hip Green Label Sound singles series takes listeners on a trip back to the '80s.
Tomorrow
Sean Kingston, the refreshing teenage voice behind summer 2007's ubiquitous charmer "Beautiful Girls," again draws from the pop/ rap/reggae/doo-wop vein of his self-titled debut.
Consider Me Gone
This second single from McEntire's just-released Valory Music debut, "Keep On Loving You," is another strong offering.
Monsters of Folk
Those who saw Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis tour together under their own names in 2004 shouldn't be surprised by the seamlessness of the set's songs.
Haven't Met You Yet
The lead single from Michael BublÉ's forthcoming album is a snappy number about the push-and-pull quest for love.
Here Comes Science
Plenty has been said about how well They Might Be Giants' playful, absurdist rock translates to kids' music—and the band's fourth offspring-focused effort is no exception.
Meet Me On The Equinox
Death Cab for Cutie might not come to mind as a natural choice for the soundtrack to "New Moon"—the second film in the "Twilight" franchise—but the Seattle-based quartet lends a deft emotional touch.
Album
The two boys (Christopher Owens and Chet JR White) who comprise Girls manage to make sweet pop music devoid of cynicism.
Us
"If you know me, you know I love my family, love my God," proclaims Minneapolis MC Brother Ali at the top of his third album.
Speed of Life
NGDB has endured for five decades because of an innate sense of what its music is supposed to sound like, no matter who plays in the band.
Keep an Eye on the Sky
This exquisitely designed four-disc boxed set gathers a treasure trove of rare gems, including material by pre-Big Star groups Rock City and Icewater, choice solo cuts from Chris Bell and Alex Chilton, and a variety of demos and outtakes
Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel
Mariah Carey is not only revisiting her past appearance-wise, but she's also taking her sound back to her R&B roots.
Love Is The Answer
Love may be the answer on Barbra Streisand's first studio set since 2005, but the question is: How slow can you go?
Brand New Eyes
Paramore's new album, "Brand New Eyes," marks its full-fledged introduction to rock's elite class.
We Weren't Born to Follow
Bon Jovi previews its new album, "The Circle" (Nov. 10), with an anthemic rocker reminiscent of the band's '80s chart successes.

Albums Reviews
  • Alter the Ending
    The band's sixth studio album, "Alter the Ending," is a perfectly blended concoction of acoustic melodies, graceful harmonies and powerful anthems wrapped around the story of a man trying desperately to save a failing relationship.
  • Say Anything
    Pop-punk band Say Anything's new self-titled album reflects the changing life of frontman Max Bemis.

Singles Reviews
  • Sex Therapy
    Robin Thicke delivers his signature smooth talk on "Sex Therapy," the first single from his as-yet-untitled fourth album.
  • According to You
    Pop music has seen its share of vocalists attempt to play guitar, but few do so as successfully as Orianthi, who shreds and sings with equal aplomb.
  • Help Me
    For the lead single from his new album "Colour," Latin Bitman finds a talented co-writer and guest vocalist in fellow Chilean artist Francisca Valenzuela, who moans bleak lyrics that tint the song with an appealing despondency.
Concerts Reviews
  • Dreamgirls -- Theater Review
    Any staging of the musical "Dreamgirls" has a lot of history to contend with. The current revival, playing a limited run at the Apollo Theater before beginning a national tour and a possible return to Broadway, is unlikely to erase anyone's memories.
  • Alice Cooper -- Concert Review
    Watching Alice Cooper onstage is like taking in a familiar movie. You know what's coming, but it's no less entertaining.
  • U2 -- Concert Review
    Although U2's playing was typically superb, Sunday's show is unlikely to be remembered among its Southland best.
