Ghostface Killah – Bulletproof Wallets
Artist: Ghostface Killah Title: Bulletproof Wallets Label: Epic Rating: 6/10 Ghostface Killah is releasing his third solo album, Bulletproof Wallets. It seems with the Wu in all sorts of transitional periods, the crew keeps doing it solo, and at this pace they may run low on all kinds of material. There are a few tracks…

Sense Field – Interview
Were you bitter at the industry now that you’ve sort of been dumped, but now picked up again? That’s an excellent question. It’s definitely a scary industry to be a part of. We were pretty jaded about our experience with Warner Bros. But once things were settled with them and we could move forward, it…

Ludacris – Interview [2001]
Talking the talk with Ludacris! What are you up to? Shit, just mastering my album in Atlanta. Word Of Mouf is coming hard. How long have you been working on the album? Probably since March, off and on, because I’ve been touring and performing. I’ve been doing so many spot dates that I’ve been writing…

Creed – Weathered
Artist: Creed Title: Weathered Label: Wind-Up Rating: 7/10 Rock on! That must be Creed’s motto as Weathered comes with much anticipation and a lot more rock ‘n’ roll to go around. “Bullets” offers distinct Alice In Chains venom, but the verses sparkle while the chorus gets lost in the contortion. “My Sacrifice” goes from cold…

Barenaked Ladies – Greatest Hits
Artist: Barenaked Ladies Title: Greatest Hits Label: Reprise Rating: 8/10 Let’s do something fun. We’ll review the song’s chronologically by album release: Gordon: “Enid” and “Be My Yoko Ono” – Okay. But do they really belong on this album? “If I Had $1,000,000” – The song that broke them wide open. It still sounds as…

Jewel – This Way
Artist: Jewel Title: This Way Label: Atlantic Rating: 7.5/10 Where have all our pop stars gone? Seems like country music has been stealing a few of our decent pop singers away and now it looks like Jewel is stuck between a rock and a twang. “Standing Still” is a sweetly seductive gem. It doesn’t take…

Madonna – GHV2
Artist: Madonna Title: GHV2 Label: Warner Bros. Rating: 8/10 Madonna has had many phases in her life. GHV2 comes in with the naked Madonna that almost ruined her career with the book Sex, full of naked pictures, and that terrible film, Truth Or Dare. Then all of the sudden Madonna found her spiritual side, took…

Mick Jagger – Goddess in the Doorway
Artist: Mick Jagger Title: Goddess in the Doorway Label: Virgin Rating: 4.5/10 It’s been how many decades since Mick Jagger started his life as one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world? Goddess In The Doorway is his first solo release in about eight years. It seems that the Mick was working on some…

The Smashing Pumpkin – The Greatest Hits
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkin Title: The Greatest Hits Label: Virgin Rating: 7/10 The Smashing Pumpkins have had a history of many ups and downs. Personally, I enjoyed Gish, marveled at Siamese Dream, was held unsure by Mellon Collie, turned around by Adore, and lost by Machina. The Smashing Pumpkins have just released their Greatest Hits…

Pink – Missundaztood
Artist: Pink Title: Missundaztood Label: Arista Rating: 7.5/10 Pink might be well known for the freshman R&B/pop sound on her first record, but Missundaztood is a complete leap in the opposite direction. The title track is a bopping song that lays no foundation or footprint in any genre. Even more proof that Pink wants to…
