Snoop Dogg, 'Tha Blue Carpet Treatment' (Doggystyle/Geffen)
We get it, dogg, you're a pimp and a thug, let's move on.

To hear Snoop Dogg tell it, this was supposed to be a return to the gritty sound of his early Death Row records. But the closest he gets here is lead single "Vato," a Neptunes-produced burner that almost makes him sound menacing again. Everywhere else, though, he's just retracing past missteps.

Graham Coxon, 'Love Travels at Illegal Speeds' (Parlophone)
Ever-bummed Blur guitarist finally sounds more hopeful.

Graham Coxon's early solo work was built mostly around tuneless self-pity and amplifier flatulence, so it was a welcome surprise when 2004's Happiness in Magazines featured actual pop songs. The guitarist's sixth album is his most accessible yet, crammed with melodic Brit punk played at maximum speed.

The Greenhornes know a thing or two about eggs and baskets: In recent years members of this Cincinnati, OH, three-piece have played on Karen O's forthcoming solo record, appeared onstage with country outfit Blanche, and served as Loretta Lynn's rhythm section on her critically-acclaimed Van Lear Rose.
