FEATURED VINYL ARRIVALS / RE-STOCKS
Bob Dylan: Tempest (Columbia)
Tempest is an album that works on many levels. Taken as sound or aural sculpture, the songs take the listener through a dark ramble through the back roads of American popular music. Every musical phrase, note, carries something that suggests more than itself. Each melody is weighed down with memory, reminding the listener of real and imagined pasts, old struggles, hinting that there’s a world rapidly slipping through our fingers, if it’s not already long gone. It’s easy to hear the echoes of Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Sonny Boy Williamson and ancient Childe ballads from another fallen empire running through Tempest. But, these snatches of melody weren’t conjured to provide light entertainments or exercises in nostalgia. They’re imbued with intimations of mortality, backward glances and all different kinds of summing up.
Dylan’s voice sounds more ragged than ever, yet it remains an astounding instrument that can communicate subtle shifts of emotion. There is a kind of perverse joy in every note Dylan sings as he delightfully croons and mangles his way through the lyrics of each of these songs. What he may have lost in range, he more than makes up for with the nimble, winking playfulness that dances underneath the wheezy, rusty bellows his voice has become. — PasteMagazine.com

Baroness: The Blue Record (Relapse)
In the broadest sense, Blue Record is an awe-inspiring and powerful rock `n’ roll album, albeit one that still finds the band incorporating the heaviness and the hard-hitting surge of post-hardcore. Yet the group’s tendency toward atmospheric epics have been compartmentalized into brief interludes, while their bigger songs have been packed with meatier hooks and a dizzying array of psych- and Southern-rock riffs. In short, if you’re in the mood to hear something loud and awesome this should adequately floor you. — Treblezine.com

Mummies: Never Been Caught (Telstar)
At a time when a lot of garage rock bands sounded like they were drowning in a sea of paisley and nehru affectation, the Mummies flipped the whole scene the bird with one of the most gloriously ugly garage albums ever, 1992’s Never Been Caught. Sounding like it was recorded in an acoustically untreated basement on equipment that might have been state of the art in 1947, Never Been Caught is one long blast of monophonic skwak, with the needles almost perpetually in the red as four guys in mummy outfits bash out crude ’60s-style rock about beer, babes, and open hostility on battered gear which was doubtless discarded by tone-deaf teenagers who got over their 15-minute delusion of possible future rock stardom in 1966. In case you haven’t figured it out by now, this album is, quite simply, a work of genius; Billy Childish was once quoted as saying the Mummies were nearly as good as the Damned in 1977, and while the two bands don’t have much in common musically, the Mummies certainly shared the enthusiastic carelessness and “Smash It Up” energy with the Damned Damned Damned-era punks, as they set out to blow up amps and knock over drum kits just cause it seemed like a fun thing to do. And after listening to it, damned if you don’t want to join in — Never Been Caught is a perfect reminder that once upon a time rock & roll was considered dangerous just for being fast, loud, and snotty, and if the Mummies never quite became the new leaders of America’s juvenile delinquents, it’s sure not because they didn’t try. — AllMusicGuide.com
