There's a lot of songs that only become good once you get used to them. Like, I didn't like the closer "Hotel Womb" at first, but now it's one of my favorites. I recommend this album. It's timeless.

The first 16/20 are good, with the last handful basically being forgettable. But even the worst aren't bad.

very fun listen. perfect pop-punk/alt rock kinda album.
Matisyahu No Place To Be
I don't really see the point of the remixes; i just see those as bonuses. The studio version of Chop em Down and Warrior are Great! so is the new version of Jerusalem! And, of course, the Message in a Bottle cover.

There were too many bad songs on here. I felt like half the album was filler. But I was blown away by the half of the album that was good, so I still give it a 4.

no real complaints. can't give it a higher rating cuz nothing on it blew me away.

I mainly giving this a 3.5 instead of a 3 cuz of "Eraser". So, despite all the cheesey lyrics on this album, and some songs sounding alike, this album's definitely worth a listen; albeit, this one may not appeal to anyone above a certain age (perhaps 25 or 30?).
Snow Patrol Eyes Open
definitely a more mainstream album than Final Straw. This means you do get more stuff that's straight up catchy and pop, but no songs as smart as "How to Be Dead" or "Chocolate", or everyone's favorite "Run".

3.0 good
Alien Ant Farm Up in the Attic
some good vocals, decent guitar. Doesn't really feel like much effort was put into this one, but it's decent. I guess without Terry Corso on lead guitar the band's a bit less interesting.

Gin Blossoms Mixed Reality
This album is a bit top-heavy. Most of the good/decent songs come at the front. That said, even the decent ones aren't all catchy (most are). The live versions that have been uploaded to youtub of some of these songs are likely better than their studio counterparts. The Blossoms worked with 2 producers of REM fame on this album and some of it is just over-produced. However, some of its production makes it sound new and different (they've made it brand new again----if you get that reference). rHighlits include the opening track "Break", which is their strongest song since 2006's "Learning the Hard Way". Robin Wilson opens up with some back-and-forth acoustic playing and then some REM-like electric guitar comes in. This is followed up by some nice solos on both guitarists' part, which are divided between the left and right ears of the stereo. rAfter that, a similarly styled song "Face the Dark" comes on. It is very catchy and may potentially be the first single off the album. The guitars are REM-esque but also very 60's-ish. This may be their Byrds influence coming through. rTrack 12 - "Forever is this Night" sounds like a sped up "Until I Fall Away", but in a good way. It is jangly, but not just a repeat of everything they've done in the past. It feels fresh. rWith all this in mind, nearly half the album is filler, and that is the downside. It makes one wonder why they bothered to put 14 songs on in the first place (JFK Shit Show isn't a song).

there's several 60s-ish hipster songs on here that are classics: "Then the Morning Comes", "Can't get enough of you", and "Come on, Come on". "All Star" is a bit poppy, but charming in its own right. The other single "Waste" is decent enough. rThe first few opening tracks are decent enough; I at least thought they were worthy of putting in my WMP library. There's some other stuff on here that is absolute dreck, of course. It makes one wonder why they would even try to put 15 songs on here when so many of them are not worth listening to. By no standard is this album a train wreck, but there is obvious filler.
Smile Empty Soul Consciousness
A bit boring. There's some songs on here that are good.
Soundtrack (Film) The Cable Guy Soundtrack

2.5 average
Los Lonely Boys Los Lonely Boys
Spin Doctors Turn It Upside Down
the first two tracks plus "mary jane" might be the only tolerable ones out of 13.

2.0 poor

Silverchair Neon Ballroom
Holy crap...Who could tolerate this boring shit? I like angry music, but every song here is depressing.
Trust Company True Parallels
Awful album. really depressing. Makes one realize how messed up the idiots on Sputnik are for liking it.
Weezer The Green Album

1.5 very poor
Smile Empty Soul Vultures
Wow...after two great albums, especially Anxiety, which blew me away, we get THIS!? just wow...DO NOT GET THIS ALBUM. Download "Out to Sea", "The Hit", maybe "Morning Light", and probably the title track. This is absolute GARBAGE. At least Consciousness wasn't as bad as this.
Sum 41 Chuck
The only good tracks are the intro, "all to blame", "pieces", and "no reason". I highly recommended just downloading those tracks, rather than buying the whole album. Like every other Sum 41 album, there's a few good singles and a bunch of filler. Most of this album is pure garbage, even worse than DTLI.
