On their fourth album, these Florida rockers muster up anthems that would embarrass a Hallmark Card hack.- Rolling Stone

The tracks are pale imitations of the hyperspeed high-hat-and-bass sound Luger originated - fitting accompaniment for two MCs coasting by.- Rolling Stone

The album equivalent of a Civil War reenactment. [30 Sep 2004, p.190]- Rolling Stone

The sludge is so overbearing that anyone born during the Eighties will wonder what once made them special. [28 Oct 2004, p.103]- Rolling Stone

[Alex] Ebert's voice is the most polarizing set of pipes this side of the Darkness' Justin Hawkins, and most listeners won't be able to get past it.- Rolling Stone

Kowalczyk is revisiting themes he's been mining for years. The band's signature sound of slowly rising choruses punctuated by Kowalczyk's rumbling wail has also grown quite stale.- Rolling Stone

Ja Rule plays it painfully safe on his second album, doling out pop hooks over gimmicky production.- Rolling Stone

Even by the standards of a remix album, Air's latest is a bit insubstantial.- Rolling Stone

Riddled with resentment and lyrics that land with a self-serious thud, Memories is a stunningly drab record. For the most part songs plod along at a strenuously mid-tempo pace, and are mostly lacking in any sonic detail that would reward closer listening.- Rolling Stone

This Los Angeles party-hop duo can't decide if they want to rhyme like the Beastie Boys or booty-croon like Taio Cruz. So on their second album (which includes the hit "Party Rock Anthem"), they do both, making for a disc of brain-cell-depleting jams.- Rolling Stone

If you play this album really loud – and leave your brain marinating in formaldehyde on a shelf for a half-hour – it's crudely effective. Play it a second time, and you may want to kill yourself.- Rolling Stone

Their music is punky, clubby, intensely annoying and other qualities their fans will describe as "fun," but therein lies the band's integrity: They tend to stay out of the middle of the road.- Rolling Stone

For people who enjoy watching celebrities fall apart, America's Sweetheart should be more fun than an Osbournes marathon.- Rolling Stone

Whatever novelty their sound once had has long since worn off, and the foreboding poetry and constipated howl of Wiccan singer Sully Erna are almost laughable.- Rolling Stone

Beet, Maize and Corn is way too mellow, sounding something like immaculately crafted retro elevator music.- Rolling Stone

He delivers overheated poetry like "As history gets lost and as I took that final breath, I felt alive," and his bandmates rock like shiny Satans.- Rolling Stone

Though Carlton's a better lyricist than faded contemporaries such as Michelle Branch, that fussy piano tends to muscle her out of her own songs.- Rolling Stone

It’s hard for a band like STP to change and grow, especially after the losses of two iconic frontmen, so perhaps Perdida will function more like a steppingstone to something greater. But for now, they sound like half the band they used to be.- Rolling Stone

Unfortunately, Haunted reverberates with tired samples, rehashed echo effects and beats so plodding they could stop a metronome.- Rolling Stone

Much of the time it sounds like Clinic are just playing around with their noisemakers and not having much fun. [2 Sep 2004, p.141]- Rolling Stone

Producer Medasyn's beats are uneven, and so is Sov's hood-rat humor: weak on what should be a layup college-pub rant, inexplicable on a song about sex with food.- Rolling Stone

Their [producers Mattman & Robin's] spacious productions are an odd fit for Dan Reynolds' tortured dude-isms.- Rolling Stone
