Wilco
Wilco (The Album)
(Nonesuch)

Now seven albums into its career, Wilco finally settles on one for self-titling, settling being the operative word, but in a good way -- the mastery of craft on display can only be the work of artists at peak strength.

Björk
Voltaic
(Nonesuch)

As is her style, Bjork provides an avalanche of supplemental material to her latest proper album, 2007's "Volta" -- a live CD, a concert DVD, a collection of music videos and a CD of remixes. Pick your poison.

Dinosaur Jr.
Farm
(Jagjaguwar)

Second post-reunion record from Dinosaur Jr. offers few surprises, other than the revelation of how ON these guys are, having found some well of creativity in middle age that shows no signs of being depleted.

Sunset Rubdown
Dragonslayer
(Jagjaguwar)

The evolution of Sunset Rubdown from bedroom project into full band takes a back-to-roots turn on a record recorded mostly live yet is still stacked with Spencer Krug's richly layered compositions and spleen-venting vocals.
