PEARL JAM ALBUMS BEST TO WORST STEREOGUM SERIES
Miles Davis, Live in Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Vol.Will the band's poppy and accessible third album restore the group to favorites of the blogosphere? The first few tracks leaked from the self-released, John Congleton-produced Hysterical point to a step in the right direction, at least, but anyone hoping for something on the level of the debut will likely need to keep waiting. While CYHSY's self-titled 2005 debut album was a landmark release in the past decade of indie rock, their follow-up, Some Loud Thunder 63, couldn't help but be a disappointment (though muddy production and a lack of hooks didn't help matters). Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Hysterical LISTEN.Boots Electric, Honkey Kong - Project from Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes LISTEN.The song that's certain to attract the most attention, however, is "Body and Soul," Bennett's duet with Amy Winehouse it was the final track recorded by Winehouse before her death this summer. Once again, the source material is the Great American Songbook, and Bennett will be joined by Lady Gaga (on "The Lady is a Tramp," naturally), Queen Latifah, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé, Willie Nelson, Josh Groban, and more. Meg Baird, Seasons on Earth - Solo album from Espers singer/songwriterĪn 85-year-old Tony Bennett teams up with another group of pop stars for this follow-up to his hit 2006 album Duets: An American Classic.Ditching her usual touring band, Amos has enlisted an orchestra of strings and woodwinds for what she bills as a "21st century song cycle inspired by classical music themes," and it arrives on classical label Deutsche Grammophon. But 12th album Night of Hunters is a departure from her usual M.O.: it's far more classical than pop. While Tori Amos hasn't received major critical acclaim for an LP since 2002's Scarlet's Walk 76, the veteran singer-songwriter is still reliably turning out new albums every few years.
