Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (50th Anniversary Edition) (limited gatefold smoke vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: 603497 828081. Rel: 29 Jan 24
Metal
Review: From rehearsing in dungeons to renting out estates in Bel Air, Black Sabbath did everything they could to muster up the creative spark for their now iconic fifth full-length Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Exhausted from a ludicrously demanding touring schedule whilst battling sever cocaine addiction following the album cycle for Vol. 4, the band would regroup at Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire where guitarist Tony Iommi would conceive the now timeless and pioneering riff to the opening title-track, which many to this day still cite as one of the first true pieces of psych/doom metal. Balancing their macabre early material with the more leftfield experimental cuts like the synth-laden 'Who Are You?' and the fan-favourite closer 'Spiral Architect', five decades on, the dust has settled enough for most fans to agree that this was the last truly great LP from the Ozzy run.

Tracy Chapman (35th Anniversary Edition) (180 gram orange vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: 812278 19934.
Indie/Alternative
Review: The full length of Tracy Chapman's self-titled debut (the 30th Anniversary Edition came out in 2018 and is now reissued again) remains as timeless as its speedometric hit, 'Fast Car'. Encapsulating Chapman's blitzed blend of folk, rock, and social commentary, this one came when the singer and instrumentalist was only just beginning to find her voice. Chapman was relatively unknown when she recorded the album, and much of her early life was marked by a sense of personal introspection: she moved to San Francisco to attend college at Tufts University, where she studied anthropology and African studies. It was during her time at Tufts that she began performing in coffeehouses, eventually leading to her discovery by producer David Kershenbaum. It would prove a challenge for Chapman to square her deeply personal, emancipatory and justice-conscious approach to music with the largely rather carnivorous music industry, but 'Talkin' 'bout a Revolution', 'Let It Rain' and 'Behind The Wall' all further highlight her political awareness and desire for change, essentially clustering around the theme of escaping into a better life.

Indie/Alternative
Review: A limited-edition version of one of the high-water marks of The Cult's back catalogue. Originally released in 2001, it was their first album in more than six years and showcases the band's return to their signature rock sound while also dabbling with new techniques. It's the only Cult album to feature one of rock's all-time greats - Guns N' Roses' Matt Sorum - on drums. And it's immensely powerful, with 'War (The Process)' and 'Take The Power' leaving you breathless thanks to flashy guitar solos and head banging choruses. Elsewhere, 'Nico' slows things down a bit - a lighter in the air moment perhaps. Overall, it's an epic rock production singing all the right notes by bringing a dash of goth to classic rock.

Indie/Alternative
Review: The Cure's live album 'Paris' catches the band in the summer of 1992. This tour came after a siesmic shift in the previously fairly static line up of the goth pop icons, with original frontman Robert Smith and long serving bassist Simon Gallup joined by drummer Jason Cooper, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell and guitar player Perry Bamonte for the first time, all of whom remain part of their live ensemble 30 years later. The setlist starts with their evergreen opener 'Shake Dog Shake' but this selection double vinyl captures more deep cuts - 'The Figurehead', 'One Hundred Years' and 'Apart' as examples - than hits, although the dark pop of 'Close To Me' does make an appearance close to its end.

Review: Japanese Whispers stands as a crucial juncture in The Cure's evolution, capturing a transformative period for the band. Amidst lineup changes and creative exploration, this compilation album bridges their gothic roots with a newfound synth-pop sound. Tracks like 'Let's Go to Bed' and 'The Lovecats' showcase Robert Smith's emerging versatility as a songwriter and producer, marking a departure from their earlier introspective rock. Despite its status as a compilation, Japanese Whispers is a gem often overlooked for its significance. This reissue offers fans a chance to rediscover its brilliance. With its effervescent melodies and cheeky nods to jazz and dance music, Japanese Whispers laid the groundwork for The Cure's future endeavors and remains a testament to their enduring influence.

Review: Machine Head is the 1972 sixth LP from Deep Purple, best known for its pandora's box-style unleashing of one of the best-recalled rock riffs in the world: 'Smoke On The Water'. Now Warner and Rhino honour the album's boisterous legacy with a comprehensive reissued version, with new mixes and previously unreleased live recordings all in tow. The new indie exclusive mainly recalls such intensive wildouts such as 'Never Before', 'Lazy' and 'Highway Star', all of which betray the tightest of tight early heavy metal playing, as the genre transpired gracefully outwards from the groundwater spring of rock & roll in the early-to-mid 70s; in fact, the band and album were considered somewhat responsible for the development for the heavy metal genre as a whole; no wonder Machine Head was their most successful album.

The intricate instrumental passages and shifting time signatures remain intact, but the melodies lean towards a more streamlined approach, offering a sharper focus on hooks and emotive delivery.

Review: This brilliant 1980 debut release by the The English Beat set them on course to become one of the most influential groups to emerge from the British Two Tone Ska movement. This album is wall-to-wall bangers and showcases some of their very best tunes, with earworm melodies encasing punchy and irreverent lyrics. Opening cut, 'I Confess' is a case in point: "Just out of spite / I confess I've ruined three lives / Now don't sleep so tight." Musically, The English Beat had style, substance and the ability to baffle and challenge their heroes. Guitarist Dave Wakeling stumped guitar heroes with his "Dad-Odd" guitar tuning. It's said that Pete Townshend phoned Wakeling up and said: "I'm sitting here with David Gilmour and we're having a bit of trouble finding your tuning for 'Save It for Later'." A superb endorsement for The English Beat, who grew up inspired by The Who and Floyd.

Review: When this was recorded at the Record Plant, San Francisco on 1December 15, 1974, Fleetwood Mac were in a state of flux. They were led by singer-songwriters Bob Welch and Christine McVie, but Welch was poised to leave and be replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Welch's stint in the band was brief and the five studio albums he's on are overlooked compared with their imperial phase that was on its way with the next line-up, but he's not to be slept on. The band were laid back but grittier with him in it. He's a slick, cool singer and a mind-blowing guitarist. This live set, which spans early classics and more recent favourites, makes it plain to see just how good he was.

Psych/Garage Rock
Review: Go To Heaven is a solid record musically, showing the band's musical evolution. The biggest change is the arrival of keyboardist Brent Mydland, who replaced the late Keith Godchaux and introduced a wide array of piano, organ, synth, and vocals, adding a fresh composition style. Produced by Gary Lyons, Go To Heaven merges elements from the band's previous styles, including jazz, prog-rock, and disco, while incorporating modern funk and synth motifs. Drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann provide consistent but reserved rhythms that anchor the album's diverse sounds. The album opens with 'Alabama Getaway,' a short blues rock jam, followed by Mydland's catchy rocker 'Far From Me.' Garcia's 'Althea' stands out with its bluesy slide guitar and buzzing bass by Phil Lesh. Bob Weir's co-written tracks with John Perry Barlow, such as 'Feel Like a Stranger,' bring funk/rock vibes with Mydland's wild analog synth. 'Lost Sailor' and 'Saint of Circumstance' add jazzy elements and upbeat pop, respectively. Mydland's 'Easy to Love You' offers smooth vocals reminiscent of Michael McDonald and the traditional 'Don't Ease Me In' closes the album with a bluesy, country-infused jam.

Review: Are The Ramones now best known for being on t-shirts worn by people who have never heard the band? Maybe. But either way, Too Tough To Die, which was released 40 years ago, is often seen as a return to form. Really, it deserves a more radical categorisation. Released in the mid-1980s, the album felt out of step with the era, not in a negative way, but in how it captured the contradictions of its time. Made without a clear direction, its incongruity became its defining feature. As Joey Ramone noted in a 1988 interview, "Around '84, the world was changing drastically... Things were getting scary. So, our songs started changing." This shift in tone marked a new chapter in their musical evolution.

With the brothers Ramone unhappy with this decision as well as their own internal strife due to alcohol and drug dependency, as well as Johnny starting a relationship with Joey's girlfriend, conflict poured over into the material with a creative stalemate as to whether to pursue a more pop-punk direction with an increased prioritisation on melody, or to 180 into feral hard rock, and with this being the Ramones, of course no agreement or compromise was reached, with the tracklist veering wildly between these two frenetic approaches constantly. Boasting some of the highest production values of any album in the Ramones canon as well as one of their best singles in 'The KKK Took My Baby Away', while offering up very un-punk yet undeniable anthems such as the aptly titled, 'We Want the Airwaves', and, 'She's A Sensation', Pleasant Dreams may have somewhat flopped upon initial release, but has grown to become an unlikely fan favourite in the decades since.

Road To Ruin (reissue) (limited numbered gatefold 180 gram vinyl LP with obi-strip)
Cat: RHI 6063B1. Rel: 15 Apr 25
Punk/Hardcore
Review: Originally released in 1978, Road To Ruin would serve as the fourth full-length from leather jacket-clad punk pioneers The Ramones. While a rejected, mitigated flop upon release due to the band's swing for the radio fences (or airwaves) complete with sonic elements at the time alien to the punkosphere such as acoustic guitars, lead guitar solos and 60s pop ballads, in the near five decades since release, the project has been reevaluated as a bold successor to 1977's iconic Rocket To Russia (although that album did place 50 places ahead on the Billboard 200 at the time of release). Marking (no pun intended) their first effort to feature drummer Marky Ramone, who replaced Tommy Ramone after his departure due to the inability to keep up with the rigors of touring and lack of residuals from their previous record; the album's glossy, clean production has slowly morphed from malaise to praise over the ensuing decades, while offering up some of their most timeless and essential bangers including 'Needles & Pins' and 'I Wanna Be Sedated' (which if Spotify metrics are anything to go by, is the band's most popular song after, of course, 'Blitzkrieg Bop').

Review: Known for being one of the most tumultuous projects of the entire Ramones catalogue, 1986's Animal Boy came at an all-time low in terms of camaraderie and communication within the band. Following on from the well-received back to basics approach of Too Tough To Die, the internal bickering and uncertainty as to where to chart their next sonic course would ultimately lead to disinterested and detached contributions from their most vocal of writers with neither Joey Ramone nor guitarist Johnny able to creatively agree on even a single track. Picking up the slack was bassist Dee Dee and drummer Richie, who took it upon themselves to salvage the sessions, leading to a somewhat sporadic concoction that was lambasted upon initial release due to the clear lack of a cohesive direction. With time salving all wounds, however, the record now garners its own fond reappraisal for its synth-laden new wave experimentations, while lyrically delving into some of their most personal and political subjects to date, even sometimes simultaneously such as on the standout cut, 'My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)', which takes central aim at one Ronald Reagan, and caused disagreement within the band due to individual stances on the subject matter. An often misunderstood ninth entry, Animal Boy deserves all the flowers it has been rewarded in retrospect.

Review: Rush's 1989 release marked a clear departure from the synthesiser-heavy sound of their mid-80s albums, returning to a more guitar-driven approach. Alex Lifeson's intricate riffs shine through tracks like 'Show Don't Tell', while 'The Pass' layers introspective lyrics with melodic finesse. Geddy Lee's basslines feel taut and precise, anchoring the dynamic interplay between his vocals and Neil Peart's inventive drumming. The production captures a sense of clarity, allowing the band's technical prowess to shine without unnecessary embellishments. It's a turning point in Rush's journey that bridges their progressive roots with a leaner, more direct sound.

Review: In 1993, Rush leaned into a heavier, guitar-driven sound, stripping back the synths of their earlier work. Tracks like 'Animate' open with robust riffs and tight rhythms, setting a confident tone, while 'Stick It Out' adds a grunge-inspired rawness that reflects the shifting rock landscape of the 90s. Geddy Lee's basslines are as commanding as ever, threading through Alex Lifeson's crunching guitar work and Neil Peart's signature, intricate drumming. The production captures a raw energy, showcasing a band comfortable in reinvention without losing their edge.

Psych/Garage Rock
Review: The Stooges' self-titled debut album, released in 1969 and produced by John Cale, is a raw, intense precursor to punk rock. Tracks like '1969' and 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' are renowned for their gritty, rebellious energy, embodying the stripped-down, visceral essence that would later define punk. While much of the album is driven by simple chord progressions and relentless intensity, longer tracks like the experimental 'We Will Fall' showcase the band's willingness to push boundaries, blending psychedelic rock with elements of drone and even Indian music. Despite being labeled as punk, the album leans toward psychedelic punk or heavy drone rock, with extended jams and impressive solos that keep things fresh just before they risk becoming monotonous. Ultimately, The Stooges stands as a powerful, pioneering album, praised for its raw conviction and groundbreaking sound, making it essential for fans of protopunk, garage rock, or anyone curious about the roots of punk music.

Indie/Alternative
Review: If you're a new band introducing yourself to the world it makes sense to keep your album to under 40 minutes, like David Byrne and co did with Talking Heads: 77. But the seminal new wave band, who emerged from the New York punk scene in the 70s, have earned the right to keep us on the line for a lot longer and give us the companion tracks we sorely deserve after years of fandom. There's rarities, unreleased outtakes and live recordings, which give us an intimate insight into a truly iconic band, who were at the very top of their game at the time they were making this record. Afterall, coming up with 'Psycho Killer' for a debut album shows that years spent honing their sound and shopping around for the right record deal before landing at Sire records turned out to be a shrewd move. We're still listening to them today and so will our kids and our kids' kids.

Review: As part of Rhino Records' Start Your Ear Off Right series - which consists of reissued versions of classic albums by Dream Theater, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones, ZZ Top and many more - comes this fabulous new version of Allen Toussaint's Southern Nights. Originally released in 1975, this is a celebrated album, showcasing Toussanint's signature blend of funk, soul and r&b. One of many records to put Touissant on the map as a soul songsmith, and to associate him with the rich musical tradition of New Orleans, the record is well-known and much celebrated for its bold and unexpected use of orchestral arrangements, unusual for New Orleans r&b at the time.

Review: The Nuggets series first landed in the 70s as an early example of the kind of 'diggers delight' compilations that looked deep into hidden corners to find rare, unfathomable sonic treats. The focus of these albums was the 60s psychedelic explosion, when every town was teeming with kids in garages experimenting with music (and, er, possibly the odd refreshment or two). Volume two of the series is just as seminal as volume one, as we get treated to some seriously heady gear from helices of The Lovin' Spoonful and The Sonics amongst many other lesser-spotted gems.

Soundtracks
Review: The 500 Days of Summer soundtrack is a timeless blend of indie and alternative anthems that perfectly capture the film’s blend of romantic highs and disillusioned lows. Curated to reflect the journey of Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel), the music serves as a character in itself, embodying the emotional stages of love and heartache. From the start, Regina Spektor’s 'Us' sets a hopeful yet ironic tone, foreshadowing a love story that isn't quite what it seems. The Smiths’ 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' becomes the shared heartbeat of Tom and Summer, sparking their connection over a mutual love for melancholic pop. Daryl Hall & John Oates’ 'You Make My Dreams' injects infectious joy into Tom’s post-date bliss, creating one of the film’s most iconic scenes, full of choreographed optimism. The soundtrack doesn’t shy away from melancholy, as Simon & Garfunkel’s 'Bookends' hauntingly underscores the pivotal shift in their relationship, reflecting Tom’s heartbreak. Each song, from Feist's whimsical 'Mushaboom' to Doves' reflective 'There Goes The Fear'. deepens the narrative. In blending '80s pop hits with indie gems, the soundtrack remains a perfect encapsulation of love’s bittersweet nature, marking the film’s lasting impact on fans and romantics alike.

Review: Say what you will about the idea of a Best Of, sometimes it really does pay to have a good proportion of 'the hits' in one place. Now Playing might be based around a relatively obvious playlist if you've been a fan of the band longer than a couple of minutes, centring as it does on the group's late era classics, but when the late career classics are this good who the hell cares? Well, maybe Loaded and The Velvet Underground & Nico, original LPs that contribute the vast majority of what's here. Anthems like 'Sweet Jane', 'Who Loves the Sun', 'I'm Waiting For the Man', 'Femme Fatale' and 'I'll be Your Mirror' dominate here, and those presented as live recordings are particularly unmissable. Once again, then, here's proof of why Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Angus MacLise, Moe Tucker and Nico remain among the most influential troupes of all time.

Review: In the summer of 1970, The Velvet Underground, now fronted by Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison, delivered Loaded, an album bursting with melody, emotion, and New York City's gritty essence. Despite personnel shiftsiDoug Yule replacing John Cale and Mo Tucker absent on maternity leaveithe band crafted what would become a rock classic. With Atlantic Records demanding hits, Loaded was a tongue-in-cheek nod to their drug-fueled reputation, yet the album is packed with catchy, proto-punk gems. Opening with the breezy 'Who Loves the Sun', the record transitions into the unforgettable 'Sweet Jane' and 'Rock & Roll', both essential rock anthems. These tracks encapsulate the blend of beauty and dissonance that defines The Velvets' soundia sweet, jangly exterior with darker undercurrents. Loaded has it all: heartfelt ballads like 'I Found A Reason' and 'New Age' and the explosive energy of 'Head Held High.' The record's final track, 'Oh Sweet Nuthin'', is a slow-building masterpiece with Sterling Morrison's sometimes overlooked guitar work on full display . While it's more accessible than previous albums, Loaded remains a definitive reflection of the band's gritty artistry and the spirit of NYC.
