Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley - VINYL LP

Green Day's second full album was the perfect dry run for the band's later assault on the mainstream, containing both more variety and more flat-out smashes than previous releases had shown. With Tre Cool now firmly in place as the drummer, the lineup was at last settled, and it turned out Cool and Mike Dirnt were a perfect rhythm section, with the former showing a bit more flash and ability than John Kiftmeyer did. Together the two throw in a variety of guitarless breaks that would later help to define the band's sound for many - warm and never letting the beat go. As for Billie Joe Armstrong, his puppy-dog delivery and eternal switching between snotty humor and sudden sorrrow was better than ever, as were his instantly memorable riffs. The metal-strength chug that always informed the band's best work isn't absent either - check out Armstrong's opening riffing on InchChristie Road.Inch the whole thing starts with a note-perfect bang - Inch2000 Light Years AwayInch is the absolute highlight of the group's premajor-tag days, with a great chorus and classic yearning lyrics. It got buried in the wave of Dookie's success a bit, but one other number didn't - InchWelcome to Paradise,Inch also a standout on that album, appears here in it's original form. Rob Cavallo punched up the radio-friendly sound on the latter take, but even here it's a treat and a half - quick, rampaging, and once again with a great stop-start chorus to spare.

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2013 album from Josh Homme and friends featuring the return of band members Dave Grohl, Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan, plus guest appearances from Elton John, Trent Reznor, Alex Turner, Jake Shears and James Lavelle. With Like Clockwork, Homme has written the most intense, personal and beautiful songs of his career. While the thunder of Queens past is still evident, there are a number of gorgeous ballads, meditations on time passing, the struggle to create art, and the nearness of mortality. The music features some of Homme's finest guitar work, at times recalling past greats such as Brian May or George Harrison, at other times uniquely his own. Album Tracks 1. Keep Your Eyes Peeled 2. I Sat By the Ocean 3. The Vampyre of Time and Memory 4. If I Had a Tail 5. My God Is the Sun 1. Kalopsia 2. Fair Weather Friends 3. Smooth Sailing 4. I Appear Missing 5. Like Clockwork
