Beverly Hills - Weezer 2 - disappointing for Weezer. I miss Pinkerton.
B.Y.O.B. - System of a Down 3 - guilty pleasure.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2 3.5 - I like.
Best of You - Foo Fighters 4.5 - very nice.
E-Pro - Beck 4.5 - just bought Guero.
The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails 3
Holiday - Green Day 4 - better than "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," which was starting to make my ears bleed.
Better Now - Collective Soul
Chocolate - Snow Patrol I know Snow Patrol, but not this song. I like "Gleaming Auction."
Jerk It Out - The Caesers 4.5 - catchy.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day 2 - way way overplayed.
Scars - Papa Roach 1
Everybody's Changing - Keane
Speed Of Sound - Coldplay 4.5 - I was very intrigued by this Coldplay record. I was always bored with Coldplay before, but X&Y blew me away. "Fix You" gets a 5.
Crazy Frog - Axel F
Mr. Brightside - The Killers 5 - I know it's overplayed, but I love this song.
This Fire - Franz Ferdinand 4.5 - yes.
Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse 4.5 - very nice second single for Good News...
Krafty - New Order
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day 2.5 - doesn't really do anything for me.

Beverly Hills - Weezer 2... recent Weezer is bad.
Best of You - Foo Fighters 2... Mediocre at best.
E-Pro - Beck 5... Not by any means Beck's best song, or album, but it's my man, Beck.. gotta give him credit.
Holiday - Green Day 1... It's Green Day for Christ's Sake.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day 0.. Just Because You End Every Verse With "I Walk Alone" Does Not Justify A Total Lack of Structure
Scars - Papa Roach 3.. I respect Papa Roach, but don't like them.
Everybody's Changing - Keane 4.. Keane's okay in my book.
Speed Of Sound - Coldplay 4... it's "Clocks" re-packaged, we all need to admit... but I like it much better.
Crazy Frog - Axel F 3.. I like "Beverly Hills Cop"
Mr. Brightside - The Killers 3... not The Killers best.
This Fire - Franz Ferdinand 0.... Oh, that's from this year? No wonder it sucks.
Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse 5... Modest Mouse, need I say more?
Goodnight Goodnight - Hot Hot Heat 1... don't even start me on this band, or their voice... however, this song, before the chorus ruins it, has an interesting beat, which is the ONLY salvation from a 0.
Remedy - Seether 4... Good song.
Be Yourself - Audioslave 3.. Audioslave is better then I expected.. somewhat mellow.
