New music: in stores and online
New Jersey arena-rockers Bon Jovi (pictured) come out of their pop-country phase by trying to relate to the recession and the mythical working man (hint: it doesn't really turn out so well for listeners), Tori Amos tackles some holiday songs, to better results, and Dashboard Confessional provide two versions of the same album, managing to somehow please most everyone—Metromix has full reviews of this week's biggest releases (listed below), as well as quick takes on fresh LPs from the likes of Britney Spears, Snow Patrol, Big Kenny, Robbie Williams, Hollywood Undead, Brazos and more, inside the photo gallery.—Keith N.
