4.5 superb
Maroon 5 Songs About Jane
You know? As much hate Maroon 5 gets for being too mainstream and having too much street cred, the band's first album was fantastic. This Love, Harder To Breathe, She Will Be Loved, Shiver and Not Coming Home are great. Would give it a 5 if it wasn't for the fact that Sunday Morning is a dud and boring as hell to listen to.

4.0 excellent
The All-American Rejects Move Along
A fun album. "Dirty Little Secret" was a guilty pleasure of mine back in 6th Grade. And it seems teenage girls loved this band 10 years ago. Other songs like Top Of The World, Change Your Mind and Night Drive, shape off all together a solid pop-rock album.
Vanessa Carlton Be Not Nobody
Very good album with a girl that has a great voice. Sure her "Paint It Black" cover from The Rolling Stones isn't all that great but, apart from that, this is a really good album. It's too bad her career ended up taking a nosedive after 2003 and she's now floating in obscurity and will likely never be heard from again.

3.5 great
2Pac All Eyez on Me
The definition of the word carefree. A carefree album more or less really.
3 Doors Down Away from the Sun
A very good album. You have to pay dividends where it's due. Here Without You played at Eddie
Guerrero's funeral for crying out loud. 3 Doors Down sadly became a band I got burned out on and
given Brad Arnold's annoying, Mississippi farm boy personality, it's safe to say why this band
isn't popular anymore. But they were good 10 or so years ago.
Hilary Duff Metamorphosis
I can't deny that I liked this album growing up. Come Clean, So Yesterday, Party Up and Why Not were some great anthems I listened to back in my Elementary School days.
Linkin Park Hybrid Theory
Great teenage angst stuff here. Everyone in the 2000's grew up with Linkin Park. Overall a good album that makes good workout music. I just wished I didn't hear a Linkin Park song in 90% of the worthless AMV videos that pollute YouTube.
Nirvana Nevermind
Oh god THIS band. I remember VH1 did a countdown of the Top 100 songs of the 90's and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was #1 even though, it barely qualifies as a 90's song. I finally gave in and gave this album a shot and I thoroughly liked it. My favorite song was actually Territorial Pissings. TRYING TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Simple Plan Simple Plan
Holy crap. I actually liked this. I blame that on the fact that Simple Plan is a band made for middle class white boys me. No one else is the intended audience for the music it is they make. If it's any consolation why I like this album that would be the reason why. And I will admit I had "Your Love Is A Lie" as my Myspace theme song back in 2008.
Usher Confessions
Back when Usher wasn't a cash cow and didn't phone his songs in to make a quick buck. Solid album. I can never get tired of listening to the Confessions, Burn and Yeah trifecta. Heck "Yeah" was in The Hangover for crying out loud.

3.0 good
Demi Lovato Don't Forget
A good album that was hampered by the fact that I listened to almost EVERY song off this record on YouTube before I made the decision to purchase it. Way to go Condra. >_>
Eminem The Slim Shady LP
The girl in Cum On Everybody is really effin' annoying. Apart from that? This is a pretty decent
album.
Eminem The Eminem Show
The songs off this album are all over the scale. Square Dance is annoying. Business was great. Superman was also pretty annoying. The Kiss / Solider (you might as well put those two songs together) was meh. Without Me was catchy. Till I Collapse (till the lights come out, till the lights come out) was fun. Sing For The Moment was alright. Harlie's Song was okay. My Dad's Gone Crazy was a good diversion (with having a girl impersonating his daughter) to end the album. I gave a dry opinion about this album I know but, this is the first Eminem album I ever listened to. It was what it was.
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP 2
This album was okay. Definitely better than Recovery. Recovery was boring as hell. My biggest complaint here is that some these songs dragged on WAYYYYY too long. Each song on the album (besides Parking Lot lol) is at the 4 minute length to 7 minutes long. As I said earlier it was okay. So Far was so good. ...But seriously I think you could of trimmed down some of the 7 minute long songs Shady.
Green Day American Idiot
This is a tough album to rate because outside of the singles (Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, She's A Rebel, Wake Me When September Ends, etc.) there wasn't much here to this album I cared about. On the other hand, this is no doubt one of the most successful albums of the 2000's. Name me one other album out there that has it's own musical. Yeah I didn't think so. Pretty decent album all things considered. And by a band having it's own musical I mean in the past 10 years.
Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2
This was okay. I don't know a little formulaic maybe? Take Back The Night is amazing.
Simple Plan No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls
The only people that like this band are people that are middle class white men that were bullied frequently back in grade school. That's it. That is the only intended audience Simple Plan relates to and I guess you can say that's why I like the band. And for better or worse? I fit into that category perfectly. To me? I thought this was a pretty decent album. r

2.5 average
Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne
I honestly was a little disappointed by this and I am a big fan of Avril Lavigne. Hello Kitty should of been left to the drawing board and never heard from anyone beyond the executives in charge of the record. Average album at best.
Luke Bryan Kill the Lights
Sure this album isn't all that great but, this is stuff I've already heard before. It's not bad, it's just I've seen all this before. Average album at best.
Simple Plan Get Your Heart On!
Fun fact. I was driving in the car playing "Astronaut" as loud as possible and the girl that was at the stop sign laughed at me. Debated about giving the album a 3 but...that embarrassment caused me to give it a 2 and a half.

2.0 poor
Ariana Grande Yours Truly
I think Ariana Grande is a super talented girl but, this album disappointed me. Only decent track was "Honeymoon Avenue" Everything else was tepid and awfully dull. It's way too early in her career to call her a GOAT. Of course growing up in the same generation and being better than Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus, isn't saying much. Thankfully unlike her other contemporaries, she's only 22 and she has time on her side. The question how and where she will be in 5 years from now is anyone's guess.
Backstreet Boys Millennium
I bought this album on clearance at Best Buy a few years ago. Meh. I got nothing else to say here.
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP
I was never much of a fan of this album. I like Criminal, Kill You and Stan but, that's it. Everything else was skippable to me. That Steve Berman skit was okay with Marshall going through the struggles of his record not getting signed but, that's it. My biggest complaint? He was literally SHOUTING instead of rapping in the terrible "Kim" song. Literally shouting. Painful to listen to.
Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight
So much repetitive and annoying drum beating is used in this album ad-nauseum. Apart from Leave
Out All The Rest and Shadow Of The Day, this album did nothing for me.
Thomas Rhett Tangled Up
I got my Solo Cup amplifier, playing all my jams. And my Walgreens beach chair working on my tan.
That is an actual quote from his song Vacation, Thomas Rhett, 2015. Pretty boring album minus some
corniness tossed in here and there.

1.5 very poor
Britney Spears Britney Jean
Not very good. Only good song here was "Passenger" which is a good song to drive to in the car, everything else should of been scrapped entirely. Sorry Britney but, this album was terribad.
Eminem Recovery
I was pretty bummed out by this album. It wasn't very good. I'll give Eminem credit that it's
different from The Eminem Show and it's darker than his 2002 album but, nothing here was great
apart from like two songs. His duet with P!nk AKA Alecia Moore had no chemistry with each other in
"Won't Back Down" I honestly I couldn't wait for it to end. Eminem tries his best to throw bells
and whistles and....I'm done. My summary of the album is this. It wasn't very good. I'm going to
binge listen to every Eminem album because I haven't heard Encore or Relapse yet. Encore and
Relapse are the most hated Eminem albums. Oh boy.
Fuel Angels and Devils
Apart from "Wasted Time" nothing here is worth your time listening to. 12 tracks that sound like retreads of something Fuel has done before (and ten fold better at in Sunburn).
Green Day iDOS!
Two good tracks. Ashley and Amy. That's it. It's marginally better than Uno but, that isn't saying much.
Linkin Park A Thousand Suns
This sucked to me. Only decent song here was Robot Boy. Everything else was run-of-the-mill or zzzzzzzzzzz.
Linkin Park Living Things
I don't even know what this is. I'll be the nail in your coffin saying that I was softened. Umm. Okay. Whatever floats your boat.
The All-American Rejects When the World Comes Down
Garbage album and I normally like lovey-dovey pop-rock stuff like this. Only decent song was "I Wanna..." everything else is not even worth listening to more than once. I would go off and vent more to say here about this terrible album but, alas it's not worth it. Take my rating for it.

1.0 awful
Katy Perry Prism
5 years of making music (not counting her run as Katy Hudson in 2001) and no growth has been seen by Katy Perry whatsoever. Zero growth. Legendary Lovers, Birthday and Double Rainbow were all forgettable, filler tracks. Only decent song here was Dark Horse because at least she attempted something new to experiment with. I wasn't the same person I was 5 years ago in 2010 and this album didn't break any new boundaries for me.
Maroon 5 Hands All Over
I only bought this because of Moves Like Jagger and it's NOT included in every rendition of the
album. Only in 2012 redistributions of the album. Overall it was filled with nothing but, insipid
somber, and quite frankly boring love ballads. I'm done.
One Direction Midnight Memories
I think I remember one time One Direction was in a Pepsi commercial with Drew Brees back in 2012 or something and quite frankly? That's really all I care to remember about them. I tried listening to Midnight Memories on YouTube a few years ago and I couldn't get past the 10 minute mark. Is giving a 1 harsh? Yes but, giving 5's should be more extremely rare and elusive than giving 1's.
Rihanna Rated R
These high scores are very baffling to me. One half-way decent song (Fire Bomb) and that's all I have to establish here. Got it as a Birthday present on my 14th Birthday and oh gosh why did Rihanna have to drop this stinker?
Taylor Swift 1989
Oh boy get your pitchforks ready but, I detested this album. The only decent song I enjoyed here was Out Of The Woods. I'm not a hater. I got the deluxe edition for a Christmas gift last year and I even uploaded the pictures included in the album on my YouTube Channel. rhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sjh6qQbpfo&rrWhy I uploaded the pictures included in the package on YouTube I don't know. Yes I have respect for her. I think her talent is stupendous. But...I just didn't like this album at all. Sorry not really sorry.
The Rembrandts L.P.
I only bought this garbage to listen to the catchy "I'll Be There For You" song from Friends and it was a crappy unplugged version of it. Well that was $10 I won't be getting back.
