GREAT TRACKS A NEW LANGUAGE 
NOTHING Great lyrics, Emotional None beautiful relaxing music, great voice 'world music', not to everyone's taste 15 tracks Unraveled - Confessor
Talented and creative modern doom metal. Becomes samey, and requires a taste for slow music.
We Have Come To Take Your Jobs - Kultur Shock
Superb music Not quite as good as Kultura Diktatura in my eyes
Guess Who's Back - 50 Cent
Hip-Hop & Rap - East Coast - 2002
Whisper Supremacy - Cryptopsy
Less showy and alienating than its predecessor. Also less interesting.
You Can't See Me - John Cena & Tha Trademarc
Nothing Everything
The 1st Chapter - Circus Maximus
Talented progressive metal by-the-numbers. Heard it all before.
The Alternative - IAMX
There are a couple of remotely interesting moments. Most of the album is despicably dull.
Entreat - Cure
Goth - 1992
The Godfather - Soundtrack
A classic score with great themes But marred with bad sound and little variation on its material
New Blood - Blood, Sweat and Tears
Pop Rock - 2005
