After two years of waiting, Radiohead finally give fans what they want this week: Hail to the Thief. This more extroverted and politically minded album features the songs "Backdrifts," "2+2=5" and the first single, "There There."
Last year's "American Idol" runner-up throws his hat into the ring this week with his album Justin Guarini. On the record is the single he performed on this year's "American Idol," a cover of "Unchained Melody," plus a duet with Kelly Clarkson called "Timeless."
Pearl Jam are sending stores two live albums from the official bootleg series they've been selling online -- one from Perth, Australia, the other from Tokyo. Duran Duran's The Singles '81-'85 box set features all the old, amazing, familiar faces, including "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Rio," "Reflex" and "Wild Boys."
Fountains of Wayne's third album, Welcome Interstate Managers, finds the New York pop-rockers tackling such pressing subjects as love, work, bad waitresses and clip-on ties. Also out this week is Grandaddy's Sumday, which mostly finds the group navel-gazing about getting their lives together, and Mest's self-titled album, which includes the single "Jaded," featuring Good Charlotte's Benji Madden.
Finally, Joe Budden and Inspectah Deck release Joe Budden and The Movement, respectively, while Annie Lennox gets Bare and the Buzzcocks revisit their Inventory. Now on to the rest of our stock.
