Jimmy Eat World <em>Invented</em> Album Review

“Quite possibly the band’s most dense and layered affair to date, it’s not likely to share the same mainstream success enjoyed by its predecessors, but that’s not an entirely bad thing. In a way, with “Invented,” Jimmy Eat World are your band again, and not necessarily everybody else’s.”

Taproot <em>Plead the Fifth</em> CD Album Review

“From the splash of cold water that is the album’s opener, “Now Rise,” Taproot mean business. Plead the Fifth is, much to the delight of old-school fans, a rocking return to form of the Gift variety.”

Stone Temple Pilots Self-Titled CD Album Review

“Truth be told, this is about as pure as any comeback album could be. Scott Weiland — despite his seemingly ongoing addiction problems — still sounds phenomenal and still knows how to bring a dynamic performance to the table, while the song-writing team of the DeLeos, who have always been the unsung heroes of the band, put all of their effort into crafting a solid set of songs that could each find a home on the radio while holding up alongside that classics of the band’s 1990′s career.”
