2.0 poor | AtavanHalen | November 14th 07 | Congrats, Mr. Lee- you have officially taken out the title of The Biggest Dissapointment of The Year. The songs have become bland, the lyrics uninspired and starkly in contrast to his former records, and not even a couple of good singles (Love Me Like The World Is Ending and Numb) can save this. It's a step backwards from the already mainstream-leaning Awake Is The New Sleep when it could have been something so great in terms of pop music. I usually hate elitists who only like the "old school" music- but in this case, I am more than happy to make an exception. Oh, to think I used to hold you in such high regard...

4.5 superb | Donkey | October 4th 07 | Ben Lee has trouble doing it wrong, as portrayed on "Ripe". He tackles issues that people don't like to sing about such as "American Television" and "Sex without Love". Typical of Lee's albums, one song usually isn't very good, as if the producers what one more song on the album. In ripe, it's "What Would Jay-Z Do", a poppy song without depth, even though the issue is relevant yet dorky. Overall a well pronounced album from Ben Lee. Just listen to the first four tracks and you will understand.
