Just as bold and brash as the title suggests, ‘ATTENTION: MILEY LIVE’ is a live album sure to stop you in your tracks. It serves as a reminder of just how many hits Miley Cyrus has blessed us with over her incredibly diverse career - acknowledging her squeaky clean girl-next-door roots, before transitioning into her more risqué club-filling anthems…

A striking mix of radical and traditional, raw emotion and literate expression, hip-hop and vocal pop, Nellie McKay's Get Away from Me is the kind of feverishly inventive, sprawling album that only comes from young artists. Though it could've easily fit onto a single CD, it's a double-disc set designed to reclaim the feeling of flipping over a record; the back cover proclaims that McKay "is a proud member of PETA." While McKay's age (21 at the time of the album's release) and sound make comparisons to Fiona Apple, Nelly Furtado, and Norah Jones easy she even named her album Get Away from Me as a preemptive strike against it being lumped in with Jones' Come Away with Me McKay is a more esoteric and hyperactively creative artist.

Swiss hard rockers get under the covers: "BIG ROCKS", the new album of Switzerland's legendary hard rock band KROKUS. On "BIG ROCKS" KROKUS pay tribute to their roots by covering classic tracks of The Rolling Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, The Who, Bob Dylan and many more. With a total of 12 flawlessly executed cover versions in the typical KROKUS vein plus a newly recorded version of the KROKUS classic "Backseat Rock N' Roll" as well as comments on selected songs by various band members, "BIG ROCKS" offers everything fans of straight-forward and honest rock music can ask for.

"How can we miss you when you won't go away?" It's a question that sounds as if it could be the title of an Aerosmith power ballad co-written by Diane Warren, but it's a sentiment that also applies to the Boston quintet themselves. 2012's Music from Another Dimension! may be their first album in eight years and their first record of original material in over a decade! but the band has never been far from the headlines during those missing years, and not just because Steven Tyler screeched his way into America's homes as Simon Cowell's replacement on American Idol.
