Crown Royal
RUN-DMC
The former leaders of the rap pack fall way behind the times on their first studio disc since 1993. (Arista)
Lions
THE BLACK CROWES
The southern rockers' latest definitely roars, but their formulaic feedback has no teeth. (V2)
Dare to Dream
BILLY GILMAN
This 13-year-old country singer's cal-lowness shows that he isn't ready to play with the big boys. (Epic)
O-Town
O-TOWN
On their desultory debut, the not-so-fab five from the TV series Making the Band make 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys look like the Beatles and the Stones. (J)
Irresistible
JESSICA SIMPSON
It's pretty easy to resist this Christina Aguilera wannabe's bland brand of postteen pop on her sophomoric second CD. (Columbia)
2000 Watts
TYRESE
With a lackluster R & B collection, the sometime model (and actor) proves to be a dim bulb on disc. (RCA)
Escape
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS
Julio's son could use a lot more spice—and a lot less sugar—on his tepid collection of Latin-lite numbers. (Interscope)
Whole New You
SHAWN COLVIN
Although Colvin clearly aspires to be the new Joni Mitchell, the singer-songwriter is still struggling to find her own identity here. (Columbia)
Bridge
BLUES TRAVELER
Front-man John Popper admits that his blues-rock quintet's studio output is merely filler between live gigs. Their sixth CD proves just that. (A & M)
The Saga Continues...
P. DIDDY & THE BAD BOY FAMILY
Backed by a posse of label-mates, the former Puff Daddy alternates as writer, producer and performer, but the saga sags on this dated-sounding disc. (Bad Boy)
(This is Definitely Something, that I'm NOT Proud* of. . .)
