Jah Cure - The Ultimate Cure Review
(7.0)
(11.18.2008)
- Paul Hollingsworth
Recently released from prison, Jah Cure releases a new record. Will the old gods of reggae allow the new boy-savior a place to play and sing in the hallowed halls and rarified (and no doubt gange-filled) air of reggae-heaven?

Kiss - Ikons Review
(9.0)
(11.12.2008)
- Jesse Coy
A big, sloppy wet Kiss in the form of a 4-disc best of release, this one has each four original members represented with an entire disc. Just another money grab, or is it worth your while? |

Causes 1 Review
(8.0)
(11.04.2008)
- Vanessa Willoughby
Intended to raise awareness about Darfur, Causes 1 is a compilation of old and new artists. Although fueled by a political agenda, Causes 1 does not manipulate the music to act as a mouth piece for the issue and therefore, not only is the end result an album created for admirable intentions, but a showcase for a set of unique voices. |

With more than an official year with the band under his belt, vocalist Stephen Keech tries to push Haste the Day to the next level. Does Dreamer achieve that, or is this a rude awaking for the band? |
