New Album Releases, 8-8-2006
Thin pickings for new music in the dog days of August. You might give Ani Difranco's Reprieve a spin. If anybody still cares, the Gin Blossoms have Major Lodge Victory.
Beyond that, there's the new American release from Slayer, Christ Illusion. It's their first album with the original band since around 1990. I've never understood what they were about. Best I can tell, they are opposed Jesus Christ, war, and melody. If you hate all those things, this may be your bag.
There are a few promising items in the re-issue range, most tasty sounding being a Rhino anthology The Definitive Groove Collection: Sugar Hill Records. Looks like it'd be a fine education in the original old school hip-hop. I will admit that most of these title look unfamiliar even to an old timer such as myself. There's also a nice Chic anthology, and some Roy Orbison remasters.
Here's the complete list of this week's major new album releases, courtesy AMG:
