1. Pour It Up – Rihanna – The first keeper off the new one lays it out, "still got more money" is the rallying cry or is it "All I see is dollar signs". There is a catchy downbeat and about as cheerful as Rihanna ever is, but everything she sings sounds like a hook, here the title sounds like a secret – Grade: A
2. Give It All We Got Tonight – George Strait – Between Strait and Rihanna you have the most depressing singers on the planet. Why does he sound so miserable on such a happy song? – Grade: B+
3. Hope We Meet Again – Pitbull And Chris Brown – Two of the best dance makers in the biz miss the beat on this stodgy disaster – Grade: C
4. Crawling To The USA – Elvis Costello – This is to Undocumented Immigration what "Oliver's Army" was to Armed Conflicts and an obscure Costello masterpiece. Bayside should have used some imagination and covered this – Grade: A+
5. Ride SOHN Remix – Lana Del Rey – Fromm the Weeknd to Rihanna to Lana, everybody is so fucking sad – Grade: B
6. Severed Lips – Dinosaur Jr – Live in '87, it rumbles so deep even the reverb seems to be collapsing – Grade: B+
7. Beta Love – Ra Ra Riot – Indie pop, not bad but a little old fashioned – Grade: B
8. God Save Rock And Roll – Kid Rock – Great music, iffy lyric, terrible name – Grade: A-
9. Death Proof – Kate Nash – Sorta indie Brit chick goth meets Nick Cave. But better than that sounds – Grade: A
10. Love In AN Elevator – Aerosmith — From 1989 and the band rides the chorus for all it's worth and then some – Grade: A
