Music: Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown

I’ve been listening to Green Day as long as I can remember, and with every new album, comes something completely new. In “21st Century,” the alternative/punk group divides the CD into “acts,” something that no group has tried before. The first song of the album, “Song of the Century,” sounds like a radio broadcast, which is a theme on the album in songs like “East Jesus Nowhere” and “Static Age.” And as usual, the songs are well written both lyrically and musically. Definitely something worth listening to.

Grade: A

Music: The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

Some songs are good and catchy, others are just vulgar, but “Hurt” raises the bar for this album.

Grade: B

Music: Demi Lovato's Don't Forget

This breakout album is innovative, poppy, and surprisingly good. For a Disney Channel star, she rocks.

Music: When the World Comes Down by All-American Rejects

Catchy, poppy, and featuring the hit “Gives You Hell”. It was much better than I’d expected.

Grade: B

Music: Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet

This album was well-made and kept me entertained while I worked. However, none of it, save one song, was catchy enough to stick in my mind.

Grade: B

Music: Alive by Daft Punk

This great sampling of Daft Punk’s live material completely impressed me. Their mikes were great, and it showed me that electronic CAN be played live.
