Monifah – Interview
The day after the presidential election Monifah and I talked a little smack! Are you watching this election mess? I’m on pins and needles, and honestly I don’t want to know anything about it until they know who is president. (laughs) How’s life? Good. I’m feeling great. I’m confident and optimistic about this record. How…

Neil Young – Silver & Gold
Artist: Neil Young Title: Silver & Gold Label: Reprise Rating: 9/10 Neil Young doesn’t need reviews and he doesn’t need to explain himself. He has nothing left to prove. Silver & Gold has gone through many changes, but the copy I have before me is the third and final version of the album. What you…

Collective Soul – Interview
Talking inside collective soul with dean roland Collective Soul was panned in ’94 as a one hit wonder, Pearl Jam wannabe, and just another grunge band to jump on the huge bandwagon. Now with the ashes of grunge spread thinly in our minds and stomped down by a pop music onslaught, the band who was…

Diffuser – Injury Loves Melody
Artist: Diffuser Title: Injury Loves Melody Label: Hollywood Rating: 6.5/10 Diffuser once went by the moniker Flu Thirteen. The NYC group has just released their first major label album, Injury Loves Melody. With one listen you can hear just how flavorful Diffuser is. “Karma” is a hyper-melodic pill. It showcases all the things best about…

Blind Faith – Deluxe Edition
Artist: Blind Faith Title: Deluxe Edition Label: Atlantic Rating: 5/10 Blind Faith had the member potential to become the biggest group of all time.

Xzibit – Restless
Artist: Xzibit Title: Restless Label: Loud Records Rating: 8/10 Xzibit has big pull. He landed on the Eminem and Limp Bizkit tour because of his lyrical prowess and gangster stance.
