God Bless The Go-Go's
by The Go-Go's
May 15, 2001
Believe it or not, this is indeed a brand-new album from L.A.'s Go-Go's -- their first in 17 years, to be exact. The original lineup (including Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin) is intact for this 13-track outing, produced by Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade (Hole, Radiohead). Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is featured on the first single, "Unforgiven."

Exciter
by Depeche Mode
May 15, 2001
This is the first album of new material since 1997's 'Ultra' for Depeche Mode, which again sees the band as a trio (consisting of David Gahan, Martin L. Gore, and Andy Fletcher) but also sees them experimenting more with a wider variety of sounds, including acoustic guitar. It is DM's first time in the studio with producer Mark Bell, who has previously worked with Bjork and was a member of the early-90s techno outfit LFO. The lead single from the 13-track album is "Dream On."

Weezer [2001]
by Weezer
May 15, 2001
This "green album," produced by Ric Ocasek, is actually the second untitled album for the Los Angeles band, not to be confused with 1994's "blue album." The album is the band's first since leader Rivers Cuomo's graduation from Harvard -- in fact, it is their first since their 1996 sophomore effort, 'Pinkerton,' which alienated some fans with a shift toward an angrier sound.

Ágætis Byrjun
by Sigur Rós
May 15, 2001
This sophomore effort from Icelandic quartet Sigur Ros (which translates to "Victory Rose") appeared on numerous year-end Best Of lists in 2000, despite not receiving an official release in the United States until the following year. Imagine one of Radiohead's recent albums -- or better yet, Spiritualized or My Bloody Valentine -- but with everything sung in Icelandic. This album garnered the band the 2001 Shortlist Prize for Artistic Achievement In Music.

Reveal
by R.E.M.
May 15, 2001

Operating as a trio for the second consecutive outing, R.E.M. offer up 12 new tracks, mainly of the mid-tempo acoustic guitar and keyboard variety. Guests include Joey Waronker, Ken Stringfellow (The Posies), and Scott McCaughey (The Young Fresh Fellows).

Music Is A Hungry Ghost
by To Rococo Rot
May 8, 2001
Melding post-rock and electronica, German trio To Rococo Rot have garnered attention by releasing a series of well-received albums on indie labels (most notably 1999's 'The Amateur View') and producing Saint Etienne's 'Sound of Water' LP. Here, they combine with New York turntablist I-Sound for their first release on Mute Records.

OST
by Moulin Rouge
May 8, 2001
This soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's musical has a little bit of everything -- often within a single song. For example, Beck and Timbaland covering David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs." Or Bowie himself with Massive Attack on a new song, "Nature Boy." There's also Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink on the Pattie LaBelle track "Little Marmalade," Bono and Gavin Friday singing "Children of the Revolution," and contributions from Fatboy Slim and Rufus Wainwright. And last, but not least, are the medleys sung by the cast members themselves... just try to imagine Nicole Kidman singing Madonna songs. But was it really necessary to include a cover of "Rhythm of the Night?"

It is the first official RHP release since 1996's 'Songs For A Blue Guitar,' although frontman Mark Kozelek released the solo album 'What's Next to the Moon' and appeared in the film "Almost Famous" in the interim.

What's Next To The Moon
by Mark Kozelek
February 20, 2001
The first full-length solo album from Red House Painters frontman Mark Kozelek (following his 2000 EP, 'Rock N Roll Singer') consists entirely, believe it or not, of Bon Scott-era AC/DC covers. You'd never guess it by listening to the album, however, as Kozelek transforms them into something entirely new.
