CD REVIEWS

Various Artists - Nobody Knows Anything - DFA presents Supersoul Recordings

Artist: Various Artists Review: Having built the most reliable brand in freakably fusion-minded dance music with artists like LCD Soundsystem and the Rapture, DFA Records has decided to globalize. The debut release on its international Death From Abroad imprint collects tracks from Supersoul, a two-year-old Berlin label whose bastardized beats flaunt the same formal disregard that makes DFA so great. Because the material is from a German operation, there are minimalist 4/4 techno rhythms (Mogg and Naudascher's "Moon Unit Pt.... Rating: 3 Stars

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection

Artist: Elton John Review: Elton John was a lot of things — sideman, session man and flop, with a long tail of failed solo releases, including the 1969 LP Empty Sky — before 1970's Elton John made him an overnight star. He wasn't afraid to admit it. John packed a bonus scrapbook in the original lavish packaging of 1975's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy with bad-hair photos, comic music-press ads ("You've been warned! Elton John is 1968's great new talent") and other ample proof of his time, with... Rating: 4.5 Stars

Death Vessel - Nothing is Precious Enough For Us

Artist: Death Vessel Review: No, Joel Thibodeau is not a girl. Though the Death Vessel mastermind, whose falsetto matches his pixielike stature and long hair, is probably used to people making that mistake. On Thibodeau's Sub Pop debut, his voice is as delicate as Juliana Hatfield's, threading wispy notes into haunting ballads that crib from the backwoods folk of acts like Iron and Wine. The result evokes a makeshift jam session in an Appalachian cabin: fingerpicked ditties like "Block My Eye" and "Jitterakadie" use railroa... Rating: 3.5 Stars

The Academy Is. . . - Fast Times At Barrington High

Artist: The Academy Is. . . Review: In every emo band's career, there comes a time for "growing up" — dealing with more serious subject matter and jettisoning pop punk for a broader sound. Fall Out Boy have gone that route, but their friends the Academy Is. . . are happy to stay young a little longer. On their third album, themed around the senior year of high school, frontman William Beckett captures the struggle of being 18: the feeling that these are "the best days of our lives," as he sings on "After the Last Midtown Sho...

Various Artists - Everything that Happens Will Happen Today

Artist: Various Artists Review: David Byrne and Brian Eno retreated to pop's periphery years ago, but their influence is suddenly front and center. There are echoes of Byrne's old band, Talking Heads, in the avant-funk of LCD Soundsystem and other dance-rock bands, and you can hear the singer's workaday hysteria in the cadences of Arcade Fire's Win Butler and Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock. Coldplay sought producer Eno to help them make Viva la Vida, a record that recalls another album with Eno's mark, U2's The Joshua Tree.... Rating: 4 Stars
