Hootie and the Blowfish – Scattered, Smothered, and Covered
Artist: Hootie and the Blowfish Title: Scattered, Smothered, and Covered Label: Atlantic Rating: 3/10 I have a feeling Hootie has run out of steam. I mean, their latest offering is a cover album.

How has life changed since getting signed? Well, I can tell you how it hasnt changed. I still live at home. I still borrow money from my mom quite often. Its changed in that fact that I have well over one hundred airline ticket stubs. I learned how to thrive on three hours of sleep.…

Lenny Kravitz – Greatest Hits
Artist: Lenny Kravitz Title: Greatest Hits Label: Virgin Rating: 6/10 You can’t argue with Lenny Kravitz releasing a Greatest Hits album, or can you? Well, as far as price versus product goes, you can’t argue. It took over a decade for him to go from unknown musician, or Lisa Bonet’s husband, to the superstar he…

The Paper Chase – Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know
Artist: The Paper Chase Title: Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know Label: Beatville Rating: 3/10 Up until the vocals came in, I was digging the Paper Chase. Then out came this arty punk bullshit. Instead of bringing me inside, it left me out. For the most part, the off the chart music just couldn’t overcome…

Johnny Cash – Solitary Man
Artist: Title Title: Solitary Man Label: American Rating: 6.5/10 Country, rock, or whatever, Johnny Cash still possesses one of the most amazing voices in music. Johnny doing covers of modern music mixed with some new creations piqued my curiosity more than anything. The only track that became a little weird was Tom Petty joining Cash…

Limp Bizkit – Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water
Artist: Limp Bizkit Title: Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water Label: Interscope Rating: 7/10 What good could possibly come from a new album by rap-metal monsters Limp Bizkit? It’s safe to say that after a few spins of Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, I still haven’t found anything. It’s exactly what…

James Michael is Cheap Trick, Brit-pop, the Jellyfish all rolled into one happy song and dance. “Inhale” bursts with all the glory Michael could muster. And let’s not forget, or take for granted, that James Michael has written, produced, engineered, and played…
