Carole King – Love Makes The World
Artist: Carole King Title: Love Makes The World Label: Rockindale Rating: 6/10 Carole King is the queen of songwriters.

The Suicide Machines – Interview with Jason Navarro [2001]
Is there pressure? Nah. We’re not a huge band so I’ve never experienced pressure. I saw the album release and I just knew it would be good. You know, I think the only pressure I ever felt was the last record because I had to learn how to sing. The guys were writing all these…

Artist: Prophet Jones Title: Prophet Jones Label: University Rating: 4/10 Prophet Jones wants us to taste their style with the first lick of “Woof Woof”, yet it’s the only track that sounds similar and possibly the only track the group drops worthy of a single.

P.O.D. – Satellite
Artist: P.O.D. Title: Satellite Label: Atlantic Rating: 8/10 P.O.D. are self-proclaimed holy rollers. Their album is inspired and blasts beyond the woeful state of rap-metal. Satellite is potent, impassioned, and possessed. “Boom” never rests as “Set It Off” looks to do just that. There are tracks like “The Messenja” that grow and grow until you…

Artist: River City High Title: Won’t Turn Down Label: Big Wheel Recreation Rating: 4/10 Tracks on a train: 1- Someone tell that train to turn the pop-punk up! 2- I’m glad it’s finally loud enough for me to go crazy. 3- Is this the same group? I didn’t order the train’s special hot dog and…

Alice in Chains – Greatest Hits
I wish Alice In Chains would make peace and release some new material, because these greatest hits and box sets are becoming an extreme tease to an old diehard like myself.
