The Best

Aimee Mann Lost in Space A
Exquisite lyrics

Cracker Forever A-
Rich sounds accompanied by rich lyrics.

They Might Be Giants No! A-
An album that is great for the whole family, really targetted towards kids.

Beck Sea Change B+/A-
Beck exposes himself to us

Pearl Jam Riot Act B+/A-
Veteran grunge rockers still outdoing their imitators.

Special Mention

(Reviewed in 2003) Alice Peacock Alice Peacock A-
Sheryl Crow C'mon C'mon B+
Bad Religion The Process of Belief B+
Foo Fighters One by One B+


The Worst

The Donnas Spend the Night D+
A group of girls that are imitating 80's hair rock, which was popular when they were 5 years old.

Avril Levigne Let Go D+
Avril is a tool of Arista, studio artists created this album, and the producer created Levigne's image

Girls Against Boys You Can't Fight What You Can't See D
Repetetive/monotonous/repetitive

Gravity Kills Superstarved D-
Cookie cutter industrial music, every song has a quiet part, a part where the vocals are screamed, a part where the guitars, drums, and cymbals make a wall of sound, and a part where the vocals are distorted.

Eels Souljacker F
This album has no redeeming qualities, I thought I might hear a worse album, but I haven't.
