 We Are The Fallen
Tear The World Down
Universal Republic. 11 Tracks.
Rating: 3 stars (out of 5)
Remember Carly Smithson’s wild ride on season seven of American Idol? The Irish expat, who finished sixth in a strong pack that included eventual winner David Cook, always came off as a natural-born belter-- Ann Wilson with a brogue, if you will. Yet sometimes it proved difficult to shoehorn her prodigious vocal talents into the show’s narrow musical themes. (Dolly Parton week was not her best moment.) It’s a treat, then, to hear her tackle a genre for which she’s extremely well-suited, namely the sleek goth-pop-metal forged by her new band, We Are The Fallen.

 Natalie Merchant
Leave Your Sleep
Nonesuch. 26 Tracks.
Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
Seven long years have passed since Natalie Merchant last put out a solo record. Hold those cries of “slacker” though, if you please. In concept, execution and, well, sheer volume, her new release, Leave Your Sleep, leaves little doubt as to what the former 10,000 Maniacs frontwoman has been up to all that time.
