Santa Claus Lane(more) »rank: 10185by: Hilary Duff
:Album Description:Celebrate and have fun this season with Hilary Duff as she sings her favorite holiday songs with a pop twist! This must-have holiday album is packed with 11 songs by Hilary Duff, including duets with Lil' Romeo and Christina Milian. With holiday tunes by Hilary, you will wish it was Christmas year-round! :Hilary Duff, the winsome star of the Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire, makes her singing debut with a rather frothy mix of original songs and old holiday chestnuts--only these chestnuts aren't roasting on an open fire, they're sugarcoated, like everything else on this pop-light album. Duff, who looks like Jessica Simpson, ... |

Shrek The Third(more) »rank: 7877by: Various Artists
: :Anybody who owns the first two Shrek soundtracks knows that ogres inspire not only charming films but great music--last time out, Pete Yorn, Counting Crows, and Joseph Arthur left monster-sized impressions, and the original movie let loose a masterful rendition of 'Hallelujah' by a still-under-the-radar Rufus Wainwright. This go-round the proceedings are playful but backward-looking: Fergie's freewheeling take on the Heart standby 'Barracuda' leavens Harry Chapin's 'Cat's in the Cradle,' and Wolfmother's guitar-heavy 'Joker and the Thief' stands up straighter than classic rock fans might like alongside Led Zeppelin's classic 'Immigrant Song.' Eels returns, this time with two doleful but sweet selections, and ... |

Jordan Knight(more) »rank: 19615by: Jordan Knight
: :On his first solo album, former New Kid Jordan Knight turns in a surprisingly stylish record that, though hardly unflawed, makes a convincing case for him as a grownup pop singer in the tradition of George Michael. (Or perhaps that of Robert Palmer, to whom Knight bears a remarkable vocal resemblance. Of course, Palmer hasn't been this with-it since the new-wave days of Clues.) The R&B stylings of the disc's first few numbers make for its most convincing music; 'A Different Party' could actually draw a crowd to the dance floor. Less successful, if well-enough sung, are the ballads that fill most of ... |

Never Gone(more) »rank: 14327by: Backstreet Boys
: :On Never Gone, the Backstreet Boys crib from the pop foundation they helped establish. Like a lot of smart popsters on the rebound, the reunited fab five broach their return by borrowing from the current hit makers. Even after a four-year hiatus, the flecks of new influence won't matter a bit to the fans. The boys' signature sugar-coated yearning softens every song to a melty consistency, and the lyrics haven't lost any of their babe-magnet pull. 'It's all so dark and mysterious/When the one you want doesn't want you,' sing the chiseled Lotharios on 'Siberia.' And on the final title track, a swirling ... |

Backstreet Boys [ENHANCED CD](more) »rank: 10683by: Backstreet Boys
: :The world may be divided into two camps when it comes to the Orlando-based Backstreet Boys--detractors and hard-core fans--but no one can deny the fact that the boys produce perfectly polished pop that sells. The hits on this album speak for themselves: 'Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),' 'As Long as You Love Me,' and 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back).' If you're not one of the disciples, however, you may want to steer clear: lackluster attempts at R&B, saccharine ballads, and a murderous remake of PM Dawn's 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss' make this a slick production but little more. --Rebecca Wallwork |

In The Zone(more) »rank: 2859by: Britney Spears
:Album Description:Jive Recording artist Britney Spears is set to release her 4th album, In The Zone on November 18. The first single 'Me Against The Music' features Madonna.

Less concerned with aiming at the mainstream radio dial than in the first days of her career, she and ... |

...Baby One More Time [ENHANCED CD](more) »rank: 2927by: Britney Spears
:Album Description:Features an alternate cover photo and a bonus song: Deep in My Heart! :Debbie Gibson never recorded anything as sexy as Britney Spears's white-funk smoker '...Baby One More Time.' Unfortunately, neither does the 17-year-old Spears's debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single. A few of the disc's cuts are pleasantly catchy, but too much of its space is given over to icky ballads ('E-Mail My Heart'?) and other unconvincing moves such as the dancehall-lite 'Soda Pop.' --Rickey Wright |

Middle of Nowhere(more) »rank: 15597from: Island / Mercury
: :After buying into Bush and Alanis Morissette, Hanson is just what we deserve--Silverchair by way of the Partridge Family, the first pretty-boy fake alt rock group that doesn't pretend to be anything but. If only for truth in advertising, Hanson deserves our admiration. But as it happens, Middle of Nowhere, the debut album from Tulsa brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zachary Hanson, warrants attention for other reasons as well. At their best, as on 'MMMBop' or 'Thinking of You,' Hanson makes perfect '90s bubblegum, Jackson Five vocal interplay offset by slick power pop guitars and sharp hip-hop production care of the Dust Brothers. Even ... |
