"In the era of Internet music and the death of the major labels, it can sometimes seem as if big rock records don’t exist any longer. They do. … Weezer, which started as a college-rock favorite and has strayed closer to arena-rock territory, returns with 'Raditude' (DGC, Oct. 27), and Bob Dylan will confound both his fans and his detractors with 'Christmas in the Heart' (Columbia, Oct. 13), a collection of traditional holiday songs that will benefit the hunger charity Feeding America" (Ben Greenman, "Pop Notes," New Yorker, 9/14/09, p. 38).
