 Those sons of bitches at Epic released the album without the band’s knowledge, installing spyware that exposed computers to viruses and trojans.

 The guy will never be Joe Strummer, but he might possibly get close to being Mick Jones.

The Dead 60's debut album showcases a creative blend of punk, dub, and reggae, drawing clear influences from The Clash. However, its release was marred by Epic's intrusive Extended Copy Protection software, which prevented copying and installed spyware on users' computers.

 "Corgan is absssssolutely annoying and all the extras are almost inaudible..."

 "These damn Christians need to stop polluting people! First Bob Dylan, now Billy Corgan!"

This review criticizes Zwan's album Mary Star Of The Sea for weak songwriting and overpowering Billy Corgan's presence. Only a few tracks like 'Honestly' and 'Endless Summer' stand out. The band's Christian message is seen as intrusive. Other band members are underused and the album overall is disappointing. Discover why Zwan's Mary Star Of The Sea divided fans—read the full review and find out if it's worth a listen.

 John5... joined Marilyn Manson when they transformed from a dirty joke that was fun to a worn-out joke that doesn’t make anyone laugh anymore.

 This album is a folk album, bloody English folk, which, if almost bearable when the male voice is present, is better than a laxative when the irritating girly voice pops up from nowhere, incredibly tedious.

 The verdict is: crap. And then massacring "Bella Ciao" is something I only allow Santoro to do.

Chumbawamba, known for their political commentary and the hit 'Tubthumping,' released a folk album that diverges significantly from their previous work. The reviewer sympathizes with the band’s intentions and lyrical content but finds the music itself unappealing and tedious, especially criticizing the female vocals. Despite an appreciation for their brave and intelligent writing, the musical result is a letdown. Read this candid review and decide if Chumbawamba’s folk turn is for you!

 If he (along with Lemmy and Keith Richards) is still alive, there’s some fucking hope for me to see my grandkids.

 It’s an extremely gaudy, boisterous album, but fun and, in some cases, also touching.
