Elvis 30 No. 1 Hits
BMG/RCA
Elvis is back, and he’s brought his 30 biggest
hits with him. Elvis Presley charted 30 No. 1
hits during his twenty-plus year career, all of
which are gathered into this new collection.
From “Jailhouse Rock" to “Love Me
Tender” and “Suspicious Minds,” Elvis brings
proof of his royalty as the King of Rock and
Roll into the 21st century. Few other singers
have received as much praise as Elvis, and this
disc proves why.
While the disc includes many popular
tracks, only a dozen might sound familiar to
Generation X-ers. “A Little Less Conversation
(a bonus track), remixed for a Nike commer
cial and the Ocean's 11 film, blends Presley’s
vocals with a modern techno accompaniment.
The marriage works.
The other tracks are the original recordings
and sound clear and smooth. Listeners should
remember that some of the tracks are almost 50
years old, so the sound is not perfectly clear.
In his time, Elvis did it all and before any
one else. He might mean more to your parents’
generation, but his impact and influence still
trickles down through modem pop music.

involved with college life.

Jimmy Fallon
The Bathroom Wall
Dreamworks
While skeptics may think Jimmy Fallon’s
new CD is the latest attempt for an actor to
become a rock star, the album’s originality and
comedic style speaks for itself.
After listening to the 13 track disc, listeners
will realize that his new CD, The Bathroom
Wall, is anything but an attempt toward
*NSync status. The CD consists of five hilari
ous songs, and the remainder is fragments of
live stand-up comedy that centers around

Boarding,” in which Fallon attempts to mockfe
current punk rock style of music, but ends up
sounding pretty close to a punk rocker himself
The remaining songs are funny and stay*
far away from pop culture as possible, with
unpolished, random and almost nonsensical
lyrics. All these imperfections add humorart:
make the CD all the more enjoyable.
For those listeners who aren’t impressed^
Fallon’s vocal abilities, the second partoftk
CD. featuring live stand-up comedy, should
definitely do the trick. It consists of Fallon
doing what he does best, which is makingils
simplest and most random situations seemca
pletely ridiculous.

“Troll Doll Jingles,” the sequel to the “Troll

consist of Fallon vocalizing parodies ofdiffei

to be a hilarious ending to the CD.

often for that matter. But every so often, ukn
