...Just Say Yes,” on the other hand, rejuvenates the headlong, Peter Pan aspect of Smith, the infamously uncrying boy, with one wicked guitar hook surfing the prominent bass lines that are pure Cure, and toying with an array of nouveau rock electric effects. The guest vocalist Saffron spurs Smith to heights worthy of a star-struck 14-year old, as the two of them holler, “Say this is it / Don’t say maybe / Don?...
Alternately, when he strays from his roots, Bonamassa finds himself lost and meandering. “A New Day Yesterday” feels more like a grunge band trying its hand at the blues (but failing miserably), and the hook to “Miss You, Hate You” bears a plagiarism suit-inducing similarity to Matchbox 20’s “Push.” If Vaughan was able to make people care about the blues when rock ruled the roost, perhaps Bonamassa will learn from his idol and stay away from the mainstream...

Even Knoc-turn’al, who made two mediocre appearances on Dre’s 2001 album, single-handedly holds together the otherwise tired beat of “Str8 West Coast.” At long last, there...

How could she lower her standards...
...alienated many during its stint as a bestseller, the companion album Amnesiac may have scared off even more with long periods of apparent downtime between opaque off-kilter songs exemplified by the single “Pyramid Song” and scarcely a decent hook on the album. By most counts then, this is hardly the ideal time to release a live album, despite the ’Head’s recent successful tour. So, as with Amnesiac, there may be more to the title I Might Be Wrong than merely the name of a song...
