Lou Barlow/Rudy Trouve -- Subsonic 6 (Sub Rosa) A split CD?! What'll those indie types think of next? Maybe filling it up with something other than filler. 5 (CY)

Papa Roach -- Infest (Dreamworks) Picture roaches runnin' around yer kitchen with guitars, screamin' 'bout how life sucks. Now step on 'em. 4 (LM)
