Rich Boy’s self-titled debut “has some real bangin songs and some garbage songs, but the good outweighs the bad,” admits Down-South.com. SF Gate warns that the Alabama-bred rapper might have a tough time following up his hit single Throw Some D’s because “nothing else on this otherwise solid disc reaches the anthemic heights of that radio hit."
Street Love by R&B singer Lloyd “proves the up-and-coming balladeer can do more than just sing hooks,” says Yahoo News. About.com concedes that Lloyd comes across as "sensitive yet strong, and not as a sappy sucker."
Amy Winehouse's sophomore release Back to Black is praised by the BBC for its vocal depth and exploration of “the joyful misery of being young, messy and in love/lust.” Blogcritics Magazine enjoys her "mature and diverse vocal talents," noting that “her voice morphs so much on songs, it feels like a vocal multiple personality disorder.”
Korn’s MTV Unplugged will divide fans, with “half accepting Korn’s desire to evolve, the other howling like 5-year-olds sucker-punched on the playground,” predicts Billboard.com. Webzine 411mania.com declares the album as "nothing more than a small footnote on their already lengthy, bland career.”
Air’s latest release Pocket Symphony is exquisite, yet "hard to hold in your head after the record stops playing,” laments Pitchforkmedia. The Village Voice describes the album’s mood as “lulling, narrative, and pictorial even when the lyrics disappear."
