Feedback is J5's fourth album. They are a group of five, which is a modification from their past LP's where they had six due to Cut Chemist (who handled a lot of the production of their older albums) leaving the group to concentrate on a solo career. Would it affect them? This was the question. Yes is the answer. While J5 still maintain a different sound to most rap groups/artists around, Feedback is certainly more of a commercial/radio-friendly sounding album and has less of an underground/alternative hip-hop theme than their previous releases. Whether that’s a bad thing depends on what type of music you enjoy. The main problem I find with this is there are a few songs that remind me of the Black Eyed Peas, including the Scott Storch produced 'Brown Girl' and 'Baby Please'. While they are as poppy as it gets, the album maintains this poppy undertone for much of the album, that wasn't present on their previous albums. Overall, it's far from horrible, but it just doesn't really work. Hopefully, if J5 ever come together again for another album, they go back to their roots and what sounds best. Best Tracks: Back 4 U, Where We At, Future Sound, Red Hot, End Up Like This

A fairly consistent release from two veterans of hip hop. Apart from a couple of harder tracks like 'Pass The Mic', 'Little Young' and 'A's & E's', much of the beats are hard but soft, in that they are backed by hard drums but soft sounding melodies. Track for track, everything except for the ill-fitting punk-rap song 'Dancing Like a W.G.', it's a pretty solid, yet nothing too outstanding album. Best Tracks: Fans, A's & E's, Little Young, Reminds Me, Pass the Mic, Round and Round

The story of two cannibal parents and a son who knows something is wrong. While it has moments of creepiness, I found a lot of this to be forced and then when it has an opportunity to get tense - e.g when the teacher is almost stabbed to death - happy music plays.

'No Bammer Weed' is the only thing to truly make be bounce here. Labelled as a 'Snoop Dogg Presents' release, this features many songs without Snoop with many being R&B tunes. Nothing much stands out. The west coast legends on 'Big Subwoofer' make it worth a play but some of the bars leave something to be desired for me. They aren't saying anything interesting. Overall, it's another long album from Snoop (and his friends) that doesn't have the quality or the quality control it needs. Best Tracks: Alright, No Bammer Weed, Murder Music, Steady

A fun enough comedy/action/adventure/heist film when you just want something on to pass the time without wanting to get emotionally invested, but it's nothing more. Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds, with wise crack after wise crack that aren't often funny, and that don't make him believable as the world's greatest art thief at all. The prison breakout is one of the worst and most predictable I've seen in a film. Everyone is conveniently in the perfect spot at the perfect time a number of times throughout the flick. Like some of Netflix's other big action movies such as 6 Underground, it features some picturesque environments and some eye catching action scenes but the writing is weak.
