    United Nations of Sound
    As you'll see, every English rock star is required to celebrate this milestone with an overblown album about God, humanity and the cosmos.

    DUMMY BOY
    His blend of garish Day-Glo net art and brawling homage to the glory years of DMX and Onyx may be a commercially effective millennial update of Rotten Apple thug rap. But aesthetically, his distinct lack of lyrical talent and annoyingly hyperactive presence often undermines the whole thing.

    Fortune
    Brown brags about his extra-large condoms, and, on "Don't Judge Me," turns a tender love song into a Twitter rant against "haters."
    • 37 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I'm Back! Family & Friends
    The results are spunky, if unnecessary: Why bother with Sly and Jeff Beck's remake of "(I Want to Take You) Higher" when you can listen to the torrid original?

    Slick Dogs And Ponies
    There's still too much of Brian Karscig's ultracampy 'Big Balls'--style vocals, and it sometimes feels like these guys have confused expanding their range with finding new sources to rip off.

    Rebirth
    The problem is that Wayne has very questionable taste in rock. He splutters and wails over tracks stuffed with aggro stomp and bland riffage; it sounds like he's been holing up with a bunch of Spymob and Incubus records.

    Testify
    Testify is full of laid-back, better-than-average adult-contempo fare, and the subtle, atmospheric production sure beats the slickness of his Eighties records.

    Results May Vary
    With the Bizkit's usual guitar-heavy thrash still in place, songs such as "Creamer (Radio Is Dead)" and "Lonely World" get by on Linkin Park-style electronic textures, stutter-step rhythms and catchy, cathartic choruses.

    Hefty Fine
    Hefty Fine proves only marginally more welcome than a Jerky Boys reunion.

    What If It All Means Something
    Ho-hum singer-songwriterly tunes packed with sentimental poetry. [1 May 2003, p.56]

    Scattered, Smothered and Covered
    This covers compilation reveals them as an honorable South Carolina bar band that has survived its run-in with pop success by keeping its easygoing humor intact.
