In Stores Now And Coming Soon: New Albums By Red Hot Chili Peppers, Styles, Glassjaw, Counting Crows & More

Albums by Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bis also hitting shelves.

Everything old is new again with this week's batch of new releases.

Both Red Hot Chili Peppers and Counting Crows return after three-year

absences, with By the Way and Hard Candy, respectively.

On the harder side, Long Island melodic hardcore outfit Glassjaw release

Worship and Tribute as the follow-up to their 2000 release, Everything

You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence. Mighty Mighty Bosstones aim

for a strong comeback with A Jackknife to a Swan.

The LOX's tough-talking lyrical enforcer Styles drops his long-awaited solo LP, A Gangster and a Gentleman. While the self-proclaimed "hardest rapper out" has been enjoying heavy radio play the past few months with "Good Times," produced by Swizz Beatz, as well as the Pharoahe Monch-featured "The Life," he still dishes out underground chunks of funk like "I'm a Ruff Ryder."
