    One
    The limp rhythm section and layered guitars expose the rote melodies, ridiculously dull lyrics and cruise-control tempo. [27 Jan 2005, p.60]
    • Rolling Stone
    • 64 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    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.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Life On Display
    Third-rate grunge retreads stuffed with overdriven guitars and generic rock-dude melancholia.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Coverage
    Taking on familiar songs, though, always unearths the rough edges beneath the polish, especially when they sound flat wrong emanating from the mouth of America's peppiest nineteen-year-old.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It's All In Your Head
    Eve 6 seem to want to improve themselves but keep bumping up against their own limitations of style and substance.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    My Private Nation
    Their musical influences sound fifth-hand -- distilled Matchbox Twenty, Black Crowes and Deep Blue Something -- and singer Pat Monahan seems like he's boring even himself.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Drukqs
    His most irrelevant album to date: a double CD, thirty-track compendium of indecipherable song titles, gratuitously weird sounds and occasional wisps of ersatz classical piano that are aimlessly pretty.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Underneath
    Underneath is the Verve Pipe's third album and it's more of exactly what made them a hit with "The Freshman" -- earnest alternative-lite vocals that cross Matchbox Twenty with Phil Collins delivered in sugary choruses that loop endlessly in case you weren't paying attention the first ten times.
    • 57 Metascore

    Know Your Enemy
    Nowhere amidst all the confusion is there even a worthwhile tune to be salvaged. Hideously dull.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Until The End Of Time
    Heavy on outside contributions and certainly missing 2Pac's editorial control and final production decisions, Until the End of Time bops and weaves from peak to valley in schizophrenic fashion.
