1. Swimming Pools – Kendrick Lamar – I've been waiting for a song off the Dre protege to announce its presence and here it is. The single. It sounds are as strange as dark as you imagine and the rap is spit nasty and fast and the chorus as sad bastard a look at hard drinking as you could possible imagine – Grade: A-
2. Hurts Like A heaven – Coldplay – This is a terrific version of one of their best songs, it is why they are a big band, it never stops swirling in doctored guitar and froth – Grade: A-
3. We Are All Illegals – It sounds like an Italian Western theme and then smacks you very very hard with Mariachi horns – Grade: A-
4. Nobody Loves Like An Irishman – Lonnie Donegan – Ha, this is kinda sweet, it's world music and self-regard – Grade: B
5. The Big Surprise – They sound like Bright Eyes dipped in Amaerican and whisked up with Dylan – Grade: B
6. Tight A$ – John Lennon – Ooooh, rockabilly – Grade: A
7. Ah-Yah-Yah – 2NE1 – This big ballad doesn't work – Grade: C
8.Celebrate – Kid Rock – Never met a cliche he couldn't suck up and spit out none the better for the experience – Grade: C+
9. You'll Never Walk Alone – Susan Boyle – Pretty and quietly powerful version – Grade: B+
10. Make Out Party – Green Day – Man, does he manufacture these things? – Grade: B-
