High School Musical 3: Senior Year — $9.99
OMG, you guys. Can you believe it's senior year already? Seems like only yesterday adults were writing this thing off. Now chapter three's on the big screen, and we're all wondering what's going to happen to Troy and Gabriella (and Zac and Vanessa) after "graduation." If the greater strength and maturity of the singing here is any indication, they just might make it in the real world. But don't think HSM's turned into a stuffy grown-up affair: Senior Year is still packed full of whispered harmonies...

Passion — $18.99
Artist: Wilhelm Furtwangler, Angelo Mattiello, Anton Dermota, Margarete Klose, Nilda Hoffmann, Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Greindl, Orquestra Del Teatro Colón

Broken — $1.29

Legacy — $9.99
Right before Jimmy Smith's unexpected death, Joey DeFrancesco got the king of the jazz organ into the studio to remind the public of the true scope of his talent and accomplishments. Smith blueprinted the Hammond B-3 soul jazz style that everyone now plays, but he was also a master at hard bop and 1960s style experimentation. Joey D. is his finest disciple.

Greatest Hits, Vol 2 — $9.99
Whatever its pretensions, all country music offers the same primary reward: tuneful variations on the verities of the ordinary. These harmonizing eclectics sometimes outdo themselves. The rueful, nostalgic "Old Hippie" is Nashville's own "Born in the U.S.A."--"He ain't tryin' to change nobody/He's just tryin' to adjust"--and "Lie to You for Your Love" is a generic paradox that puts their strong weakness for ass-man smarm in perspective. Climax: "I Love Her Mind"--because her mind controls her body...

Mr. Lucky — $5.99

Horehound — $9.99
The Dead Weather is every bit a sum of its parts: Guitarist Dean Fertita (QotSA) and bassist Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs) keep the edges gritty and bluesy enough to warrant Led Zep comparisons as lead vocalist Alison Mosshart (The Kills) strives to reach a Janis Joplin-like presence. Yet none of them commands the spotlight like the band's most famous member, Jack White (White Stripes). Though he physically takes a back seat (behind the drums), his skill and charisma take the controls, and the album...

Bruckner: Symphony No.5 — $8.99

Thankful — $9.99
American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson proves America voted wisely, as she delivers a strong, soulful debut. A bit glossy, yes, but the ease with which Clarkson glides from R&B-influenced power ballads ("The Trouble With Love") to pop offerings ("Low") suggests her career has genuine legs.

Hotel California — $8.99
This is how country rock sounds in its most commercialized success. By 1976 Gram Parsons was turning in his grave as his old Flying Burrito Brother, Bernie Leadon was replaced by Joe Walsh for this multi-platinum classic that birthed hits like "New Kid In Town" and "Life In The Fast Lane" (and of course the title track).

Shout-outs are one thing, name-dropping is another: on "Dreams" alone, Dre, 50, Pac, Biggie, Snoop, Eazy, Kanye, Whitney, Jam Master Jay, Marvin Gaye, Frankie Beverly, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Mya, Viveca, Yetunde Price, Venus and Serena Williams, Huey Newton, Martin Luther King, Marshall Mathers, " Vibe magazine," and Dave Mays. Now permit me to refrain from listing the titles from which the title track is constructed. Dull even when he isn't describing his medical problems, this no-talent is masscult...

Honeydripper — $9.99
The John Sayles movie Honeydripper is a valentine to the brilliant black popular music (the blues, gospel, jazz, RnB and rock 'n' roll) that used to blaze out of small, locally owned juke joints. Memphis Slim, Ruth Brown, Keb' Mo'... You just can't go wrong with the selections here -- even the Hank Williams cut, used to show where country music comes from, is fantastic. As a bonus, you get Gary Clark Jr.'s recreations of tunes like "Good Rockin' Tonight" and a surprisingly successful star turn from...

Good Thing Going — $7.99

Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins — $7.99

Mule Variations — $14.99
Between 1985 and 1993 Waits managed to seem prolific while generating exactly one album that wasn't tied to a film or theater piece. Between 1993 and 1998 he managed to remain mythic while generating occasional occasional songs and a rumor that he'd split with his wife. So it's a pleasure to report that his best record since Swordfishtrombones has Ms. Kathleen Brennan all over it, which he's proud to testify is why it's also his kindest record ever: "She puts the heart into all the things. She's...

Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 — $4.99

Dangerous And Moving — $9.99
A sophomore album from one of the most brilliantly conceived gimmicks of all time. The single "All About Us" is a by-the-numbers re-enactment of their first hit, "All The Things She Said," and it works just as well the second time. Does the rest of the album even matter? The best song here is the one they sing in Russian.

Symphony No. 4 Nympholept — $3.99

Mama's Gun — $9.99
Ms. Badu-to-you could have ridden her photogenic witchy-rootsy ambience/attitude down a flexigroove to iconicity. Instead she determined to rise up, doing for her songcraft what D'Angelo did for his funk. From "Here's my philosophy/We're living in a penitentiary" to "My eyes are green/Because I eat a lot of vegetables," she scores over and over on 14-tracks-in-72-minutes that miss maybe twice and only seem long-winded when she gives the flautist some. Maybe her sources are autobiographical, but she...

The Best of Saint-Saëns — $9.99

Power In Numbers — $8.99
The much-anticipated second LP from Los Angeles crew Jurassic 5, Power By Numbers is a rock-solid effort, less zany than Quality Control , but still fresh. Plump basslines, snappy beatwork, and strong mic skills dominate; there are also collabos with pioneering emcees Big Daddy Kane, Kool Keith and Percee P.

In the Jailhouse Now : Prison Songs & Murder Ballads — $8.99

Greatest Hits Volume III — $9.99
Hits culled from Joel's last few records. As the album title suggests, these are not the biggest hits, or even the second biggest hits. These songs were, however, modest radio hits. Still, it's not a bad place to go for people interested in hearing what came after Joel's classic late-'70s/early-'80s work.

Wintersong — $8.99
Now that she's been extensively remixed and unplugged, it's fitting that Sarah McLachlan sets her hand to a holiday collection. With the plethora of predictable chestnuts like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Silent Night," Wintersong might be added to the heap of adult contemporary stocking stuffers if not for the ghostly treatments by longtime producer Pierre Marchand. And though all the tunes benefit from her wounded warble, the simple, piano-driven interpretations of "I'll Be Home...

Recordings — $27.99

Wu-Tang Forever — $15.99
The Wu's quadruple-LP follow-up Forever is decidedly less raw than their debut, though it's still pretty amazing. Their lyrics have evolved, with many songs addressing society's various ills. Some fans thought the Wu were getting too ambitious, while the group accused critics of wanting easily digestible "baby food." Features "Triumph," "Reunited," and "The M.G.M."

Superunknown — $9.99
Having mocked this group's conceptual pretensions for years, I'd best point out that Chris Cornell still isn't Robert Plant, Kim Thayill still isn't Jimmy Page, and so forth, before cheerfully acknowledging that 1) they're all closer than they used to be and 2) it no longer matters. This is easily the best--the most galvanizing, kinetic, sensational, catchy --Zep rip in history. And though there may be a philosophical or interpersonal dimension, to me the trick sounds like it was done with songwriting...

Singles Going Steady — $9.99
The title is the perfect conceit for this collection of eight relentless British forty-fives--arranged chronologically, the A sides on the A side and the B sides on the B--about love and lust among the unmarrieds. The Buzzcocks' knack for the title hook and the catchy backup chorus, along with their apparently asocial lyrics, tempts tastemakers in jaded olde England to dismiss them as mere pop, but over here their high-speed, high-register attack sounds powerful indeed. The best song on the record...

A Certain Mr. Jobim — $6.99

Bridge Of Light — $9.99

Illadelph Halflife — $9.99
As a response to people who felt that the Roots' live instrumentation was too gimmicky, the group released Illadelph Halflife in 1996. The outfit resolved to sample itself, looping ?uestlove's solid drum clip and playing up the studio angle. The album manages to capture their intense live dynamic and agility at creating innovative, solid beats.

Quasi una Fantasia — $9.99

BIZET: Symphony in C Major / L'Arlesienne / Jeux d'Enfants — $7.99

Early Gold — $9.99
There was a time, back before Jim Kerr took to wearing Seinfeld shirts and playing arenas, that Simple Minds were startlingly novel, to the extent that each release was received with hushed reverence and unquestioned respect. This collection features some of those songs: those perfect pieces of clever synth pop and early new wave, packed with complex melodies and canny lyrics. You could release "I Travel" or "Love Song" in 2006 and put most electro-clash outfits out of work. Listen and learn.

Red Gone Wild — $10.99
Redman is neither the smartest nor the toughest rapper out there, but hip-hop's class clown isn't afraid to get wild and play the fool. Plus, he can rap, and even his mediocre albums ( Malpractice ) deliver his patented blend of blunted humor, funky pathos and abstract braggadocio. After a six-year hiatus, Brick City's finest is reinvigorated. "Freestyle Freestyle" (produced by Scott Storch), "Gimmie One" (Pete Rock) and "How U Like That" are highlights, but Red sounds hungry on about every track.

A Tribute To Woody Guthrie — $13.99

Supertrios — $9.99

Live and Burning — $6.99
Seals's club work tends to be rawer than the (genuinely) "progressive" Midnight Son , so this product makes sense. And nice as it is that Seals composes his own material, the numerous borrowings--my favorites are from Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, and Pinetop (I think) Perkins--are a peer's prerogative. (Grade: A-)

The Lost Tracks — $8.99

Pure Bossa Nova — $9.99

Orchid In The Storm — $8.99
In which Joel Dorn lets the eerie, quavering shimmer and imperturbable naturalness of Aaron's falsetto run, drift, float, or soar with six '50s covers. The singer avoids the overstated Russell Thompkins mode more wanly than necessary, but with teen dreams from Johnny Ace and the Penguins turned into the essence of timeless romance, the sublimely silly "Ten Commandments of Love" sounds like dictation from Mount Sinai. (Grade: B+)

Major Lodge Victory — $8.99
There's nothing on Major Lodge Victory that presages the raging success Gin Blossoms scored with "Hey Jealousy," but who would've predicted they'd blow up as big as they did in the first place? Since no malls or teenage bedrooms were left to conquer after that ubiquitous megahit -- and since songwriter Doug Hopkins killed himself in the midst of the band's stardom -- the band broke up in 1997, only to reunite for a DVD and tour in 2002. Victory traipses their well-worn Americana pop pathway with...

Bttb — $9.99
A pop star in his native Japan and an Oscar-winning film composer in the U.S., Sakamoto greeted the new millennium with these lovely solo piano creations. The tracks evoke different musical eras and styles, ranging from classical and third-stream jazz to New Age and the avant-garde. He even plays a treated piano percussively, infusing it with sweetness.

Yusef Lateef 's Little Symphony — $4.99

Chimes of Liberty — $9.99

This Is Ballroom Dancing — $27.99

Kinfolk — $9.99
Looking for some late-summer party music? St. Lunatics' Ali and former Goodie Mob member Gipp deliver a serving of new money anthems, sex-drenched club bangers and compelling guest spots from LeToya, Cee-Lo, Three 6 Mafia and over a dozen others. Most of the songs have a slightly harder veneer than those of the duo's mentor, Nelly, and the production is appealing, if generic, dirty south pop-hop.

Passarim — $9.99
Widely considered to be the last great Jobim studio album, on Passarim he continues to explore regions beyond Bossa Nova. The bittersweet but funny "Chansong" is a wonderful English-language narrative of a life spent abroad while other songs find him exploring ecological destruction and matters of the heart with equal sensitivity. A real charmer from a unique talent.

Bach/ Mozart Telemann/Vivaldi: The Great Flute Concertos — $15.99
