New Releases

Fall Out Boy — Infinity on High
Don't let these emo boys get you down
Their sophomore effort has a whole new sound
So it's not the best
But it's different from the rest
Of the CDs making radio rounds

GPA: 3.6

Damien Rice — 9
This Irish folkster has gotten really angry
With songs like "9 Crimes" and "Rootless Tree"
Don't let that scare you
His songs merely dare you
To turn his sadness into your sonic glee

GPA: 3.8

Norah Jones — Not Too Late
Norah's latest finds her using more guitar
Don't worry, she doesn't stray too far
From mellow jazz tunes
That swell as you swoon
To the soothing sound of this vocalist star

GPA: 3.4

Katharine McPhee — Katharine McPhee
This singer is out to show all of her rivals
That she deserved to win that title
I'm glad she didn't win
'Cause this record's a sin
It's good that she's not an American Idol

GPA: 1.9
