Editor's Note: A New Year's resolution for the Music Crew here at Faze Magazine is to review every new CD in 2003 we get and give our honest opinion, good or bad. We definitely welcome your feedback/opinions, maybe we'll post those comments along with each review. Send your comments to letters@fazeteen.com.

Who are we?
The CD Reviewers at Faze Magazine include a healthy mix of pro and amateur musicians and teenage and college music fanatics. Between us we cover a whole lot of ground in terms of styles: from techno to thrash to rap to pop to dancehall reggae and beyond. We'll call it as we see it.
