    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 30
    Hotel California
    Hotel California is inexcusable. It may be the least creative major-label rap album in recent memory.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Critic Score 25
    Gemstones
    His tunes and/or jokes plop out like forced turds. [Mar 2005, p.92]
    • Metascore: 48
    • Critic Score 20
    Streets Of Gold
    Over brutish synths and hammy bleats, the puerile brosefs' third album shares, among other witticisms: Gonna have a house party in my house.

    The End of All Things to Come
    No. [Jan 2003, p.99]
    • Metascore: 47
    • Critic Score 25
    Outta Sight / Outta Mind
    [The Datsuns] now sound unfit to carry the Donnas' jockstraps. [Oct 2004, p.120]
    • Metascore: 47
    • Critic Score 30
    One Of The Boys
    The rest of the album plods with formulaic, hormone-heavy Kelly Clarkson outtakes, or perhaps Liz Phair during her bleak, sparkly descent.

    This Is Forever
    If singer Justin Warfield had a sense of humor about himself, that wouldn't be such a bummer; as is, Forever seems to go on for about that long. [Nov 2007, p.124]
    • Metascore: 47
    • Critic Score 10
    Have Mercy
    Soul-free, thirdhand melodies housed in songs that any halfway decent bar band would reject without a second pass. [Feb 2007, p.85]
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 20
    Hell in a Handbasket
    It's "disappointing" only because it isn't dreadful in funnier, more interesting ways.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Critic Score 30
    The Rebirth Of Venus
    Amid spoken-word interludes and I'd-like- to-buy-the-world-a-Coke-style choirs, only Lee's innate melodic gift saves him from total embarrassment.

    Somethin' 'Bout Kreay
    Kreay indulges the full breadth of her influences, turning Somethin into a series of wan genre studies.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Critic Score 10
    BAYTL
    There is Michael Jackson bad, there is Ed Wood bad, and then there is BAYTL, a union so unholy that it cries out for a show on Bravo.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Critic Score 25
    Life On Display
    These hammerheads still sound like the touring company of Grunge-a-Mania. [Jan 2004, p.100]
