    Survivor
    Clever rhythms, tricky harmonies and diverse musical reference points -- including the opening riff from Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" -- frequently distract from the lyrical shortcomings.
    • 66 Metascore

    God Bless The Blake Babies
    A sweet and sometimes bitter pack of world-weary bubblegum pop.
    • 56 Metascore

    Mandy Moore
    There's nothing on this album quite like the guilty pleasure of "Candy," her textbook pop number from "So Real."
    • 73 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Production
    Something of a mixed bag, "Production" teeters between grating aimlessness and uniquely dark, claustrophobically compressed runs through the Vocoder-happy lands of French house music.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    X.O. Experience
    X.O. Experience is more commercial and polished than the group's previous three efforts.
    • 70 Metascore

    Comfort Eagle
    Just as little has changed on the radio front, so has Cake stuck with its market-proven formula on "Comfort Eagle."

    Golden State
    The album may not break much new ground, but the band's performance is more dynamic than on previous releases.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Dog In The Sand
    Having traded in affected spooky vocals and idiosyncratic song structures for straight-ahead rock, however, Black seems to suffer a crisis of confidence on "Dog in the Sand."
    • 72 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Love Is Here
    The band, while heavy on charm, is light in its ability to demonstrate any diversity in its songs.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It's a Wonderful Life
    Ultimately, the record is kept from wonderfulness by too much drowsy material--it lacks [Neil] Young's screwball conviction or the hallucinogenic intensity of the VU.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Cuttin' Heads
    "Cuttin' Heads" isn't covering much new ground.
