CINEMA
» Blood into Wine - Any big fan of Maynard James Keenan knows that the Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer frontman has been living a double life for the past several years as a winemaker/entrepreneur. But seeing as the charismatic Keenan is not the most media-friendly of musicians, it's a rare feat to get an in-depth glimpse into what the man's other passion project entails.[08.26.2010 by Kiran Aditham]
LITERATURE
» The Red Queen - Phillipa Gregory revisits England during the War of the Roses.[08.23.2010 by Bridget Doyle]
COLUMN
» Missed the Boat #6: Supergroups and Solo Surprises - In a time when more albums than ever are being made and fewer publications can afford to exist, more gatekeepers than ever are needed to separate the wheat from the chaff. Here's this month's batch of unreviewed but worth your time records that may have been overlooked.[08.16.2010 by Dan Weiss]

- -
A release of this caliber is extremely rare, occurring maybe a few times a decade. Anyone who truly
cares about quality in their art should own this.
- - Artistic statements such as this won't come along often. Take heed.
- - Displays a great deal of thought and obvious talent. An overall success, although we wouldn't necessarily consider it a requirement.
- - Negative qualities have crept in, but the positive come out on top. Gets a high-five from us.
- - This release has its positive, as well as negative characteristics, neither of which outweighs the other. In a word: blah.
- - While promising, this piece has a number of overwhelming negative qualities which hinder the listener's enjoyment.
- - Showing almost zero amount of promise, this needs improvement in a variety of ways.
- - This piece sinks like a stone. Not even putting up a fight for your attention from beginning to end.
- - As a whole, this composition fails to keep its head above the surface. Dominated by inadequacy, the piece reveals a lack of talent and/or creativity at every turn.
- - Compositions such as this leave you with but one question - WHY? - Why would a group of people so obviously devoid of any talent or insight even bother? Something of such a low caliber is difficult to even fathom.
- - Addressing the mere existence of this piece causes undesirable physical responses. It's a ZERO, okay? It doesn't get any lower than this.
- - We plead the fifth, for any number of various reasons which are not specified.
