Cracker – Forever
Artist: Cracker Title: Forever Label: Virgin Rating: 4/10 Cracker has always been just kicking around doing very little in the way of chart action. Personally I never cared for any of their music even with hits like “Low”. Their hits compilation last year was laughable. There were barely one or two songs worth of being…

George Harrison – Brainwashed
Artist: George Harrison Title: Brainwashed Label: Capitol Rating: 8/10 George Harrison is always the last named Beatle whenever someone is asked ‘do you know the four members of the Beatles?’ It’s a shame too. Although George was labeled the shy one he absolutely cannot be overlooked. His contributions with the Beatles and as a solo…

Dru Hill – Dru World Order
Artist: Dru Hill Title: Dru World Order Label: Def Soul Rating: 6.5/10 Dru Hill is back. Great: “Men Always Regret” – This is the track that takes the cake. This song is one that men and women can relate to, one that has touched us all at one time or another. “I Should Be…” –…

Nick Carter – Interview
You knew Nick Carter as a Backstreet Boy, but did you really know him? Was there any significance to the name of the album Now or Never? Yes. I felt like this was the time to do it or that I would never get another chance to do it. This is the time that I…

Audioslave – Audioslave
Artist: Audioslave Title: Audioslave Label: Epic Rating: 7/10 Audioslave is the Rage Against The Machine minus frontman Zach and in his place comes one time Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. If you are expecting Rage Against The Machine then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for Soundgarden then you’ll be closer to being satisfied,…

Toni Braxton – More Than A Woman
Artist: Toni Braxton Title: More Than A Woman Label: Arista Rating: 5/10 It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Tony Braxton and a lot has happened since. She’s had a child and has seemingly undergone a seeming metamorphous. Hot: “Lies, Lies, Lies” – A different sound, more rock-pop and they work quite well. Medium:…

Matchbox Twenty – More Than You Think You Are
Artist: Matchbox Twenty Title: More Than You Think You Are Label: Atlantic Rating: 6.5/10 I bombed Mad Season for being average. Can Matchbox Twenty fix what seemed to be broken? Now Hear This: “Feel” – The fact that this track doesn’t sound like your usual M20 track is what is most enjoyable. It punches hard…

Ja Rule – The Last Temptation
Artist: Ja Rule Title: The Last Temptation Label: Def Jame Rating: 6.5/10 Ja Rule isn’t wasting any time. He’s in movies; he’s cranking out hits with other artists and still has time to drop The Last Temptation. Was it rushed or worth releasing? Temptation: “Murder Reigns” – The hook isn’t quite as hot thankfully Ja…

Ashanti – Interview
In a short time Ashanti has gone from nobody to a household name. Could life be better for this twenty-one year-old? Becoming a first time author isn’t a bad way to follow up a hit record. You know what is funny? I just watched you on the Today Show a few minutes ago. (Laughs) Oh…
