Zebrahead-Anthem
...if Blink 182 and Simple Plan had a love child, you would have Zebrahead. And that's not a bad thing. Not a great thing, but not a bad thing.
The tune, while forgettable, is good. It reminds me of the Tony Hawk video game series, and the endless hours I spent cheating, I mean, playing them. The lyrics have an ounce of potential in them to be above average. I like the misfits concept, but they hardly go through with it. Overall, the main problem is that it's forgettable, because it sounds like a repeat of millions of other songs.

Silver Sun Pickups- The Royal We
I have a lot of problems with this song.
First off, I got up for 30 seconds during this song, and when I got back, forgot how the tune got. It's that forgettable.
Second, I can hardly understand what this gender-questioned person is saying. I had to look up the lyrics, and when I did, I was rather creeped out.
Third: The beat is off. It's not very good and is rather boring.
And fourth, the voicing was rather schizophrenic. From yelling to creepy calm.

Cream-World Of Pain
This song is so far out of my style, I have to be professional and technical when reviewing this. But first, let me say, I am not altogether impressed by it. It must be an acquired taste.
But in technicality, the music, while a bit flimsy and weak, is pretty catchy and good. I actually like the way Eric Clapton sings it, his voicing is unique without having to be just grating, like Gwen Stefani's is.
The lyrics are pretty awesome, too, the story it tells. But I just don't feel the feeling in my gut I usually get when this is a song I could get used to. But in all technicality, it's a pretty good song.

Ten Years After-I'd Love to Change The World
Freaking Wow. The lyrics are pretty dang cool to this song. I think we all, whether we know it or not, whether we believe it or not, live by the chorus. Not to mention the music is pretty good, and we can all tell it's from the 60s.
