reviews

I can’t decide whether Nate Ruess is great or grating.

Did Phil Rudd’s recent solo album have anything to do with his current legal predicament?

The Two and a Half Men finale was a fascinating meta-episode and “f-you” from series creator Chuck Lorre to his many detractors.

“Uptown Funk” and “Feel Right” are two of the best songs you’ll hear all year. Does the rest of the album hold up?

I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed this album.

“Wow, that new One Direction song is pretty catchy.”

The band that redefined what it means to suffer for one’s art has never been happier or more optimistic than it is right now. That newfound era of good feeling was on full display at the United Center on Friday.

Could Spiderman Turn Off the Dark provided the framework for a U2 album that would have been superior to Songs of Innocence?

Robin Thicke’s Paula is the most interesting album of the year. Maybe even of the last decade. But is it good?

R.E.M.’s first appearance on MTV Unplugged shows a band on the rise. Their second shows a band in decline.
