    It's Me Again
    Shuffles between romantic ecstasy and agony with tempos crawling and Tweet stretching out lush melodies till they're barely recognizable.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Life On Display
    Third-rate grunge retreads stuffed with overdriven guitars and generic rock-dude melancholia.

    Todd Smith
    Leav[es] one wondering whatever happened to the immortal MC whou could carry an album by himself without needing a breath. [4 May 2006, p.59]

    They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
    An electronic-noise collage that sounds disturbingly rooted in the what-the-fuck? tradition of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music.

    • 20 Critic Score
    One
    The limp rhythm section and layered guitars expose the rote melodies, ridiculously dull lyrics and cruise-control tempo. [27 Jan 2005, p.60]

    Theology
    If you are not Jah, however, you may lack the stomach for Sinead's megasincere tributes to Curtis Mayfield and Jesus Christ Superstar.

    • 10 Critic Score
    The Papercut Chronicles II
    The Papercut Chronicles II is the year's most charmless album, 11 punishingly dull rock-rap tunes with hooks that would've sounded dated a decade ago.

    Playing With Fire
    Federline's rhyme flow is the opposite of tight.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Scream
    Scream veers between drab–sleek and rock–dude soulful; Cornell's yowl never sounds at home.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Know Your Enemy
    Nowhere amidst all the confusion is there even a worthwhile tune to be salvaged. Hideously dull.
