Description

This album isn't as strong as some of the others, mostly because the singles on the airwaves at the time were lacking in themselves. No talent hacks like Nina Sky and D12 were taking up valuable airtime and polluting our minds with crappy music. Thank god for 'Freek-a-Leek'! Ha, well, that's true in a way.

Petey Pablo delivers on 'Freek-a-Leek' and I'm glad for that. I can never get sick of that song. I prefer the unedited version, but that's just me. 'Hey Ya!' is way overplayed, 'My Band' just plain gets old (and if it weren't for Eminem no one would listen to the crap they call D12) and Jessicamore… Simpson...I mean, do I need to say anything more? Beyonce gives us 'Naughty Girl' which is far better than her last offering, while Christina Milian finally makes it back with 'Dip it Low' and serves up a nice dirty track...far naughtier than Beyonce's.

Black Eyed Peas give us 'Hey Mama' and I like it, as I like Beenie Man's 'Dude' but the remainder of the rap is just plain crap. Chingy's slow jam is stupid and Juvinille should have quit the game after 'Back That Thang Up'.

Jo Jo is too young, well at least she was, and her song was kinda stupid. Britney actually gave me a song I thought was good, the first 30 times I heard it...but the whole controversy over the video got 'Everytime' so overexposed that I got sick of it. Everyonce in a while though it's nice to listen to. To know that she actually wrote this song herself is pretty neat too.

As far as the rock is concerned, well, Three Days Grace takes the crown again with Switchfoot and Yellowcard taking second and third, but whats up with Kravitz making his return to the 'Now!'? This song is crap. And Hoobastank...I've never liked this song, and I actually liked them until they released this song and everyone on the known universe went apecrap for it. It's not that good, it actually really sucks and I have no idea why anyone likes it. Plus, live these guys can't play or sing worth crap. HoobaSTANK is right. I will say that while I hated 'Heaven' when it was first released, after hearing it a billion times on the radio it's actually grown on me...just a little.

Finally we have Gretchen with what has to be one of the biggest songs ever. 'Redneck Woman' was so huge I had my sister who hates country music in any shape or form singing it. It's a great song, if not a little overplayed, but you have to hand to to Gretchen for being brilliant!
