 They've only released two albums, but thanks to the dictates of international appeal, the Killers have amassed an impressive collection of B-sides and assorted rarities. "Sawdust" sweeps up 17 of them, and while it doesn't have the cohesive impact of "Hot Fuss" or "Sam's Town," it's an appealing set that brings a bit more breadth and depth to the group's catalog. Included are such outtakes as "Sweet Talk" and "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf"; covers of Joy Division's "Shadowplay," the First Edition's "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" and Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet"; and a spare reworking of the "Sam's Town" title track. The group's present is represented via the new "Tranquilize" featuring Lou Reed, whose sophisticated dynamic attack indicates the Killers may have some surprises for us on their next album....full text |

| The heart usually sinks when confronted by a 'rarities and B-sides' album, especially one released so close to Christmas. There's usually a reason why such tracks have been relegated to 'rare' and 'B-side' status - because they're not very good. Such records are usually an excuse to rip off the fans who will buy absolutely everything....full text |

| This b-sides-and-rarities comp is split between glammy synth-pop like "Sweet Talk" and straighter, heavier rock like "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf." The cover of Joy Division's "Shadowplay" should have stayed in the vaults, but it's hard to deny Brandon Flowers' melodic gifts, which fuel catchy uptempos like "Under the Gun" and "Where the White Boys Dance," an eerie thing that sounds like it could have come from some great lost post-punk band....full text |

| Alicia Keys' considerable talents are no secret six years after her auspicious debut, "Songs in A Minor." However, those gifts shine with a ripening maturity and depth on her third studio outing. From the opening strains of the classical overture that introduces this aptly titled album, Keys continues to fearlessly resist the cookie-cutter norm. On her most personal record to date, love (of self, a significant other, family) and life lessons are the primary themes. The strong stories that Keys spins are complemented by deft musical arrangements that integrate more rock and pop into her enriched old-school vibe. Beyond hit single "No One," notable tracks include the female anthems "Superwoman" and "Go Ahead," the drum- and horn-embellished "I Need You" and the poignant "Thing About Love....full text |
