Album Reviews

Nashville band loses some weight for ninth LP, returning to looseness of early glories.

Five songs, 43 minutes - band is in pure experimental mode for 27th LP.

Band moves into another decade on 11th LP, sounding as furious and introspective as ever.

Jack White resurrects side project from decade-long hiatus for its third LP.

Marking the golden anniversary of this masterpiece with a box set featuring singles, outtakes and alternate versions.

Eight CDs, one DVD and a whole lotta R.E.M. from over the years.

Fourth Bowie box collects his difficult '80s period.

Arctic Monkeys made their name by being one of the millennium's best guitar-based rock bands. But for their sixth album, they scale back.

Ever since Jack White closed the book on the White Stripes at the top of the decade, he's taken his solo career into deeper and more expansive areas than he ever explored with his band.

Despite a few flaws, 'Pinewood Smile' is a perhaps the best the Darkness have offered up in their second act.
