"The Game, LAX: * * * * -- Perfect landing
Twenty years after N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton, their musical godchild celebrates the hood life on his third — and reportedly last — album. In between bookend prayers by DMX, the controversial Compton native exalts West Coast thug culture, and Ice Cube shows up early on to give his nod of approval on State of Emergency.
Throughout, The Game flays rivals and trumpets his own skills and success. He attacks the beats — provided by the likes of J.R. Rotem, Kanye West, Cool & Dre, Scott Storch, Hi-Tek and DJ Toomp — with lyrical ferocity. His stellar guests — Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Raekwon, Ne-Yo, Keisha Cole, Nas, Travis Barker — help him load a full clip of street-ready missives and radio-friendly jams.
Much like Lil Wayne earlier this year, LAX’s release was moved often as anticipation mounted. And again like Lil Wayne, The Game doesn’t disappoint. — Steve Jones" - USAToday.com

ABOUT SHERYL CROW
Free-spirited, fearless and fierce, Sheryl Crow has garnered nine Grammys. On Detours, her most recent LP, she explores both personal and global issues, touching upon topics such as the end of relationships, adoption, breast cancer, the war in Iraq, the environment and Hurricane Katrina. Produced by Bill Bottrell (who last worked with Crow on her 1993 debut, the seven-times platinum Tuesday Night Music Club) the aptly-named new album deals with the things we intend to do and the interruptions that send us on unexpected paths.
Today, the Kennett, Missouri, native is a passionate supporter of a variety of environmental and health-related charities, including the Revlon Run/Walk for Women, Stop Global Warming, the Dream Foundation and City of Hope. She is donating $1 of each ticket purchased to the World Food Program.

SNOW PATROL will release A Hundred Million Suns (Polydor/Fiction/Geffen Records) on October 28th 2008.
The album is preceded by the fantastic single “Take Back The City”, which comes with a video shot in East London courtesy of acclaimed video director Alex Courtes (White Stripes “Seven Nation Army”).
Gary Lightbody (vocals/guitars) says, “"I'm so proud of this record. Everybody played out of their skin. Garret (Jacknife Lee) continued his progression from maverick genius to one of the best producers in the world. Musically, lyrically and sonically the best record we've made"
The Grammy-nominated band’s fifth studio album was recorded throughout the Summer of 2008 in Hansa Studios in Berlin (where Bowie recorded “Low,” “Heroes” and “Lodger”) and at Grouse Lodge deep in the Irish countryside. Written by Snow Patrol, the album was produced by Garret “Jacknife” Lee (Bloc Party, REM, U2).
Snow Patrol are one of the biggest selling UK bands this decade and A Hundred Million Suns follows up the 2006 Number One, seven-times platinum phenomenon Eyes Open which sold 2.1 million copies in the UK and over 1 million in the US. Eyes Open achieved platinum awards across the world from the US and Canada to Germany, Australia and beyond, selling over 4.5 million copies. Their single “Chasing Cars” has just received its 2 millionth download in the US.
