CD
Hits, Seal
Warner Brothers, £15.99
3/5
IN A NUTSHELL
Most of the good stuff from the singer's first two albums, padded with the fluff from the rest of them. Merry Christmas, dad.

Top tip for Blue Peter fans: Re-create the sound of Stereophonics albums by leaving your hoover on for an hour. For the authentic experience, repeat this trick for just over ten years.

A familiar brew from US guitar rockers Dinosaur Jr, but the old recipe still hits the spot.
CD
Lines, Vines and Trying Times, Jonas Brothers

IN A NUTSHELL
It's hardly the voice of the underground, but the Disney band's slick corporate pop is not a sign of the coming apocalypse either.
POP
Sunny Side Up, Paulo Nutini
3/5
IN A NUTSHELL
Sunny Side Up reveals Nutini has more depth and gravel than Blunt or Morrison, but possibly not the spark required to fully escape their orbit yet.
ROCK
The Lazy Soldier EP, Val Verde
Available through myspace.com/thevalverde
4/5

Val Verde boast confident vocals, weaving guitars and intriguing drumming. They're hitting London in late July, and they deserve your attention.
RAP
Relapse, Eminem
3/5
IN A NUTSHELL
Relapse is a reflective effort, ably produced by Dr Dre. But how far can you stretch Slim before it becomes shtick?
POP-PUNK
21st Century Breakdown, Green Day
3/5
IN A NUTSHELL
A pretty good album from a pop-punk act with something to say, possibly lacks a song of the sheer quality of American Idiot to truly light the blue touch paper.
Together Through Life
Bob Dylan
3/5
"It's essentially a likeable collection of familiar melodies elevated by the sheer force of the performer's charisma."
