    Paris
    Though Storch and other heavy hitters do their best to craft reasonable facsimiles of a broad range of Today's Best Dance-Pop Hits, they can't hide the fact that Hilton's a shit singer who can't carry a tune even when the vocal melody is reproduced note-for-note in the arrangements.

    The Audience's Listening
    The Audience's Listening is kinda like a Fatboy Slim B-sides collection circa 1998 without the catchy bits.

    Loose
    Unfortunately, Furtado doesn't have the rhyming skills, vocal chops or attitude to pull off any one of her new personae.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Big Bang
    Considering the expensive talent involved, this is a colossal disappointment.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Peeping Tom
    A floundering mess that bores you to tears.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Goodbye Alice In Wonderland
    A lilting acoustic-y record with ethereal leanings, plenty of canned, overproduced studio gloss and occasional dangerous forays into mild rock.

    Bitter Tea
    Two-thirds of the songs fail to cohere.

    Other People's Lives
    Uniformly mediocre.... It leads one to assume he's either lost the ability to discern the padding from the profound or he just didn't give a shit.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Brave And The Bold
    Unbearably bland.

    Testify
    P.O.D.'s new album sounds exactly like all their other ones.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Lights And Sounds
    So while Yellowcard's hearts may be in the right place, it's clear they're simply incapable of realizing this clumsy faux magnum opus.
    • 52 Metascore

    Unpredictable
    This is a dry affair dominated by standard-issue R&B production monotony, and an egregious misuse of resources.

    Hey People!
    The result is exactly what you'd expect: loud and hard garage rock devoid of personality or originality.
