Album Review: John Mayer, “Heavier Things” (2003)

In 2003, John Mayer released the follow up to his platinum selling debut, Room For Squares. I was anticipating the release of Heavier Things– after all he hadn’t released any new material for almost two years.

Album Review: Mandy Moore, “So Real” (1999)

Sometime last year, I was browsing the bargain bin at Half.com when I came upon Mandy Moore’s debut album, So Real. Even though I wasn’t a fan of Mandy’s music or anything, I thought I’d buy the album since it was only 75 cents. A…

Album Review: Maroon 5, “Songs About Jane” (2002)

I remember hearing Maroon 5‘s first single, Harder To Breathe in the summer of 2002. After only one listen, I had the catchy chorus stuck in my head, and I was sure the song was going to be a big hit. All summer long, the song got amazing…

Album Review: No Doubt, “Rock Steady” (2001)

By the time No Doubt had released Rock Steady in 2001, I already considered myself a fan. I owned Tragic Kingdom, and I loved the songs on Return Of Saturn. I also really liked all the people in the band (for those who don’t know, Gwen Stefani provides lead…
