New CDs in stores this week [replica watches]
The Black Keys, "El Camino" (Nonesuch). Akron, Ohio, rock duo that has lately been packing large venues (and has moved to Nashville) nails down some more gritty action on seventh full album.
Chevelle, "Hats Off to the Bull" (Epic). Sixth studio album from Illinois trio sticks with riff-heavy hard rock.
The Fall, "Ersatz G.B." (Cherry Red/MVD). One of the classic punk era's first "postpunk"-style bands releases its 29th album, featuring, of course, Mark E. Smith's distinctive mutter.
Dia Frampton, "Red" (Universal Republic). Runner-up from "The Voice," the popular TV talent contest, issues first album with evidently wide range, considering both hip-hop's Kid Cudi and contemporary country's Blake Shelton show up on it.
KoRn, "The Path of Totality" (Roadrunner). Veteran band of the "nu-metal" scene puts out 10th studio album, supposedly an experimental work assisted by dubstep and electronica producers.
Nils Lofgren, "Old School" (Vision). Guitarist from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band takes solo spotlight with new material for first time in five years, with help from Sam Moore and Paul Rodgers and with a dedication to the late Clarence Clemons, another E Street alumnus.
The Maine, "Pioneer" (Action Theory/Warner). Arizona pop-rock band follows its major-label debut with a disc that seeks to find different musical directions.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The Magic of Youth" (Big Rig/Redeye). Band that more or less pioneered ska-rock in the 1990s keeps skanking to the beat on its second new album since a long hiatus during most of the last decade.
Gary Numan, "Dead Son Rising" (Machine Music). Post-apocalyptic techno and plenty of atmosphere from the former Tubeway Army frontman who had an iconic 1980s hit with "Cars."
The Roots, "Undun" (Island Def Jam). Philly hip-hop band (underscore that last word) proves, yet again, that it's much more than Jimmy Fallon's late-night backing group with a fierce concept album.
Robin Thicke, "Love After War" (Interscope). Alan's singer son continues to get his loverman persona on with album that nods to classic bedroom-minded R&B music.
T-Pain, "rEVOLVEr" (RCA). Florida rapper and singer issues fourth album, featuring guest turns from Chris Brown, Pitbull and (inevitably) Lil Wayne.
Amy Winehouse, "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" (Universal Republic). After her especially untimely death in July, troubled British soul singer gets a 12-track third album made up of alternate versions of hits, unreleased recordings and a couple of brand-new songs.
