The Doves – The Last Broadcast
Artist: The Doves Title: The Last Broadcast Label: Capitol Rating: 7/10 Doves from Manchester England. They bring rock that seems strange yet familiar. Grand: “There Goes The Fear” – Lovely. “Satellites” – Another lovely track, I think these guys specialize in the charming. “Pounding” – Refreshingly uptempo. “Caught Up The River” – Again they bring…

Eminem – The Eminem Show
Artist: Eminem Title: The Eminiem Show Label: Interscope Rating: 7.5/10 Eminem has either been a thorn in your ass or beloved. Depends on who you ask. And look out if you piss Eminem off cause you might end up in his latest hits. The Eminem Show picks up where the last record left off. The…

Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
Cast: Ewan McGregor Studio: Fox Rating: 7.5/10 Well we know that Director/writer/everything George Lucas listens to fans because the most-annoying movie character ever, Jar Jar Binks is muffled and back are R2-D2 and C-3PO! Yeah! The film is faster, brighter, and slicker than The Phantom Menace. The problem is that even with all the technology…

Sum Of All Fears
Cast: Ben Affleck Studio: Paramount Rating: 5.5/10 There is something funny about CIA agent Jack Ryan, a character form novelist Tom Clancy. At first he was Alec Baldwin, then Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and now a younger fellow, Ben Affleck. Worse yet, the once powerful Ryan is now nothing but a punk thanks to…

Bryan Ferry – Frantic
Artist: Bryan Ferry Title: Frantic Label: Virgin Rating: 5/10 Bryan Ferry? Isn’t this name already taken? You know by the guy who sang ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy”? Guess not. This Bryan Ferry sounds like a Bob Dylan disciple who found his way into Chris Issak’s library. Frantic: There is nothing frantic about Bryan Ferry. Slower:…

Naughty By Nature – IIcons
Artist: Naughty By Nature Title: IIcons Label: TVT Rating: 5/10 You know Naughty By Nature by the line of hits they left in their wake in the early/mid-’90’s. But their last few releases have been less than stellar. This time around Iicons comes with fourteen tracks and all but five are with guests. Odd for…

Vex Red – Start with a Strong and Persistent Desire
Artist: Vex Red Title: Start with a Strong and Persistent Desire Label: Virgin Rating: 5/10 Vex Red sounds like they can’t find their identity. Strong: If you find something then let me know. Average: “The Closest” “Dermo” – The vocals go too close to Orgy’s with the vocal effects. “Can’t Smile” – Sounds a taste…

Meredith Brooks – Bad Bad One
Artist: Meredith Brooks Title: Bad Bad One Label: Gold Circle Rating: 6/10 Meredith Brooks has had one weird career. She had a huge hit with “Bitch”, then her next record came out with much anticipation and radio all but ignored what was a damn good album. Now Brooks releases Bad Bad One on a smaller…

Gomez – In Our Gun
Artist: Gomez Title: In Our Gun Label: Virgin Rating: 7.5/10 Artist: Gomez Sounds like: Something from Almost Famous. Influences: The ’70’s Gun: “Shot Shot” – More of the oddball Gomez combined with sweet sounding instrumentation and colorful vocals. “Rex Kramer” – Ben Ottewell’s crackles with good ol’ fashion southern rock ‘n’ roll. It’s just what…
