Dave Weckl's recording career as a leader was off to a decent start with Master Plan -- not a fantastic start, but a decent one. The drummer had made a name for himself playing with Chick Corea's fusion-oriented Elektric Band and his straight-ahead Akoustic Band, and his admirers greeted this CD with high expectations. But while Master Plan isn't the mind-blowing gem it could have been, it's a competent, enjoyable jazz-rock outing. Weckl has talented guests in keyboardist Jay Oliver, tenor saxman Michael Brecker and Elektric Band colleagues Corea and Eric Marienthal (soprano and alto sax), and he is in good form on pieces that range from the funky Tower of Inspiration to the Afro-Cuban-influenced Festival de Ritmo and the Brazilian-minded Auratune. The CD's only hard bop offering is Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise, which finds Weckl forming a trio with pianist Ray Kennedy and bassist Tom Kennedy. Master Plan isn't essential, but it isn't anything to be ashamed of either. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

The Tragically Hip come from a long line of bands that began as arena-rock-in-my-basement garage outfits, and actually soldiered on to make music worthy of achieving that aspiration. While it's true that 2004's In Between Evolution and the lackluster We Are the Same were missteps because they were squarely aimed at the ever elusive mainstream, Now for Plan A, the Hip's 13th long-player, produced by Gavin Brown, moves them back to their square, toward the immediacy of their earlier records. Its 11 tracks deliver a varied, mostly uptempo, solid sonic ride that combines big-budget rock & roll production with more basic elements of urgency, impulsiveness, and humor. The first notes of opener At Transformation come from Gord Sinclair's fuzzed-out bassline on stun; they're answered immediately by Paul Langlois' and Rob Baker's guitar squall and Johnny Fay's popping snare and bass drum. Gord Downie's part-warbled, -sung, -snarled lyrics lay out a simple truth: I want to be kind not a bullet in the right place... He knows it's only a dream, based on a limited perception of the game of life. With its churning, frenetic pace, the music confronts him with it, but he just beats his head against it, anyway. No surrender. Streets Ahead contrasts jangling and distorted guitars, and drives head on into an anthemic melody that's as urgent as punk rock and as catchy as a power pop song. It lifts off and keeps going. We Want to Be It initially sounds like a send-up of John Waite's Missing You, but Downie and company turn it on its head to make it one of the most self-lacerating, broken love songs of the 2010s. Sara Harmer guests on the title track and The Lookahead. The former commences with an infectious pop hook and gathers in intensity and drama until it nearly goes off the rails. The latter is a languid, drifting meditation on love and commitment that feels rather unfocused. The second half of the record contains its own share of hyperkinetic rockers in The Modern Spirit and Take Forever. About This Map and Done and Done commence with 4/4 drum kit shuffles before they spread out into atmospheric exercises in rock balladry with varying degrees of success. Now for Plan A ably demonstrates that the Tragically Hip still have it whenever they want it. While there are moments of self-indulgence, they are far from deal breakers. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

Joining the pantheon of similar-minded, enduring bands like Bad Religion, Green Day, and NOFX, pop-punk trio MxPx mark their 20th anniversary with the energized Plans Within Plans. The lineup of Bremerton, Washington fellas -- singer/bassist Mike Herrera, guitarist Tom Wisniewski, and drummer Yuri Ruley -- hold steady and pick up where their last studio album, Secret Weapon, left off. And though it's been five years since that record's release, the sound is as seamless as a couple of long separated friends recently reunited. But of course a lot can still change in five years, so in contrast to Secret Weapon, Plans Within Plans finds the trio growing past the girl trouble/post-college era angst/scene-reporting inspiration pool, instead addressing the plight of the working stiff with the bass grooving The Times, searching for inspiration on the anthemic, minor chord-driven Nothing's Gonna Change, and of course looking back at those earlier years but remaining hopeful about the future in Best of Times, a reflective midtempo rocker that would make good mixtape company alongside the Maine's Like We Did (Windows Down) from 2011. Engineered by Herrera and mixed and mastered by Descendents guitarist Stephen Egerton (who also lent his musical chops to Far Away and In the Past), Plans Within Plans moves from MxPx's straight-ahead punk roots (the fiery first single Far Away is probably the best pick for longtime fans) to thrashy skatepunk (Inside Out) and poppier moments (empowering opener Aces Up), joining together lyrics that show the band at their most mature -- look no further than the final lines of Best of Times: 'Cause we're growing up and all that it takes/Is looking forward to better days. Ultimately, Plans Within Plans manages to stay true to MxPx's scruffy roots while gracefully transitioning into a new age bracket, especially relatable for fans who've been along for the ride with them for years. ~ Chrysta Cherrie, Rovi
