Album Review: Charlotte Church, “Dream A Dream” (2000)
Christmas is coming a little early this year. Actually, I’ve just been in the mood for some Christmas carols, and Charlotte Church’s holiday disc, Dream A Dream has certainly come in handy.

Album Review: Gwen Stefani, “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” (2004)
What do you do when you’re the lead singer of a successful, multi-platinum, Grammy-winning group? Make a solo album, I guess. At least, that’s what Gwen Stefani did.
Album Review: Fall Out Boy, “From Under The Cork Tree” (2005)
Fall Out Boy first caught my attention sometime last summer, though the band (Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley) had been on the indie scene in Chicago since early 2001. With an album and two EPs under their belt, it was about time…
Album Review: Josh Groban, “Josh Groban: Live At The Greek” (2004)
Thank God for PBS. Yes, they’re an amazing non-profit public broadcasting service that airs free educational programming all over the United States, but more importantly, they have once again provided me with a Josh Groban CD/DVD combo.
Album Review: Plus One, “Obvious” (2002)
Plus One’s debut album, The Promise, was really, really bad. The CD was filled with poorly written songs, cheesy synthesized beats, and over-produced vocals. It’s a wonder that I wanted to buy their sophomore album, Obvious, but I remember purchasing it when it was released…
Album Review: No Doubt, “Tragic Kingdom” (1995)
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a decade since No Doubt’s third album, Tragic Kingdom was released in 1995. Of course, the group (Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, Tom Dumont) has come a long way since then (even Stefani has found solo…
Album Review: Garden State (Soundtrack) (2004)
Garden State was a movie that grew on me. The first time I watched it, I remember shrugging and thinking, “Yeah, so what?” The media, and even my friends, had hyped it up to be this great, life-changing film, but I didn’t really see what…
Album Review: *NSYNC, “*NSYNC” (1998)
I was looking through my CDs today, when my eyes landed on Nsync’s self-titled debut album. I was thrilled when the memories started rushing in; being in junior high school, listening to their songs in my room (adorned with Nsync posters, of course) and practising…
Album Review: Stephen Curtis Chapman, “All Things New” (2004)
Steven Curtis Chapman is one of the most popular Christian singers around. He’s had a plethora of hit albums and has been on the CCM charts since the late 80’s. His latest release, All Things New, continues to provide songs focusing on God and living…
Album Review: Howie Day, “Madrigals EP” (2003)
I became a fan of Howie Day’s after buying his sophomore release Stop All The World. After falling in love with that CD, I decided to go back and take a listen to some of Day’s earlier work.
