Carly Simon – The Bedroom Tapes
Artist: Carly Simon Title: The Bedroom Tapes Label: Arista Rating: 5/10 Carly Simon was the chic chick in the seventies, but since the dawn of the age of egotism and then later grunge, the songs that Simon sang lost their potency. After years of doing shabby pop covers, Simon is back with the personal and…

Simon Says – Jump Start
Artist: Simon Says Title: Jump Start Label: Hollywood Rating: 5/10 Simon Says has just released its first album, Jump Start. I enjoyed the alternative garage sound of the band. The album itself is well put together with twelve tracks to enjoy. The problem is that all of the tracks sound severely alike. I found myself…

Sevendust – Home
Artist: Sevendust Title: Home Label: TNT Rating: 7/10 Sevendust’s sophomore effort, Home, is a reassuring batch of emotionally charged, Atlanta-style hardcore music. After two years of non-stop touring with the likes of Limp Bizkit, Clutch, Coal Chamber, and with mainstage stints on last year’s Ozzfest and this summer’s Vans Warped Tour, home is probably where…

Sevendust
“This is a recovery record,” says Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose candidly about the band’s fourth studio album, Seasons. “A bulk of the record is just dedicated to the realization that we’ve done some bad things to ourselves and people around us over the long haul.” It’s not like Sevendust have ever shied away from the…

Bree Sharp – A Cheap And Evil Girl
Artist: Bree Sharp Title: A Cheap And Evil Girl Label: Trauma Rating: 6/10 The first thing you notice about the smooth and willowy voice of folky Bree Sharp is its resemblance to that of Natalie Merchant. The first single, “David Duchovny”, is silly yet witty, about the hunky actor from the X-Files. The problem is…
