This album was haunted by a now-resolved legal dispute between Meat Loaf and long-time collaborator Jim Steinman, and many may still cry, "False Bat!": A few of the seven Steinman-penned tracks have been recorded previously (including "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," a hit for Celine Dion). Too bad.

This singer/songwriter's second album combines subtle notions of folk and electronics, and the result is fleetingly pop-oriented music that sounds transmitted from a bedroom on Venus.

My Morning Jacket effectively channel both Southern rock riff logic and the off-planet Pink Floyd – no surprise they played a three-hour set at Bonnaroo this year. Naturally, a double live CD recorded at San Francisco's Fillmore was a historical inevitability. Okonokos finds them in full into-the-stargate mode, blowing out songs and jamming till dawn.

Damon Gough is an engaging songwriter, so why isn't his fifth album as Badly Drawn Boy more, well, engaging?

You have to travel pretty far back -- to Michael Zilkha's late-'70s/early-'80s Ze Records -- to find New York dance music as purely entertaining as the minimalist, thumping tracks of DFA's James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy. In the same spirit as the pair's first volume, Chapter 2 doesn't merely document; it selects tracks that hold together as an album.

Dance music is full of auteurs, and one of the greatest and most undersung is New Jersey's Todd Edwards, whose cut-and-paste production style has influenced everyone from Daft Punk (whose "Face to Face" he coproduced and sang) to entire swathes of U.K. garage.
