SYSTEM OF A DOWN - TOXICITY. The best album all year, hands down. If you disagree, you have no taste
so go away before i taunt you a second time. Less political, more fun, better playing, beautiful lyrics. The
perfect combo that makes this once good band now phenomenal. 10 (of 10).
SLAYER - GOD HATES US ALL. HAHAHA. The only album that could possibly be worse than the new Incubus. 0 (of 10).
WEEZER - THE GREEN ALBUM. What can be said about the coolest geek band around that hasn't been said. They may
take forever to deliver, but when they do, it's amazingly catchy, free-for-all music. It is, by all measures,
a well-earned third album. Long live the kings. 9 (of 10).
INCUBUS - MORNING VIEW. i was trying to think of a word that rhymes with horrendous, but instead let
me just say two words "Sugar Ray". The classic element of playing good solid rock music and when that doesn't
make the biggest of money, "de-volving" into crappy pop shit. Biggest let down of the year i am sad to say. 2 (of 10).
GWENMARS - DRIVING A MILLION. Best new Pop/Rock artist. These guys have about the same feel
as, say, Oleander, but they are so driven both lyrically and musically that it's hard to
imagine them not making it big soon...get She Hung The Moon, it is a spectacular song in
it's own right, and the whole album will flow from there. 9 (of 10).
FROM THE ARCHIVES
JIMMY EAT WORLD - JIMMY EAT WORLD. In case you AREN'T in love with JEW yet, now would be a good time to start
at the roots with this self-titled piece of work and then hike your way to the newest album (a freaking awesome album). It's
not as good as what they're up to now, but it helps you get a better feel of how much they've progressed and where they
got their beginnings.
