a RS
It’s Not Me, It’s Yo
Lily Allen

I was worried that Lily Allen might
tone herself down on her second album
in order to appeal to more listeners
however, if anything, she goes too

far on It’s Not Me, It’s You. Almost
every song is a caustic dagger through
the heart of some aspect of modern
society, delivered in her signature

dry British manner. There are a few
lovey-dovey ballads at the end of the
album, but they’re barely noticeable
in comparison. This album is all about
Lily putting people in their place,
hence the album’s name. She does
spend the majority of the album up on
her high horse looking down on people
who are less perfect, but there are
enough songs where she beats up on
herself to balance that out, including
the must-hear lead single “The Fear,”
and the techno-y “Back to the Start.”
This album isn’t as good as her debut,
but it’s worth listening to even just to
hear her rhyme the word “suicidal”
with “Creedence Clearwater Revival.”

Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Activision

Seeing as how I’m both an only child
and a female I never really had any
video games. I never even had much
of a desire to play them, but these days
my sentiment has been changing and

I would like to credit that change to
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Actually,
screw changing sentiments, I’m
straight up obsessed with this game.

It is ridiculously fun. I get to choose
which character to play, several of
which are large-breasted, scantily-
clad women with boss super-powers
and the goal is to prevent the Masters
of Evil from conquering the world.
Who wouldn’t want to do that?

As you navigate your way through

the challenges with your team of

four skilful superheroes you unlock
different outfits and other characters,
pick up skill upgrades, and add points
onto your avatars different powers and
incredibly dangerous moves. Keep up
your health and energy though; it’s the
only way to defeat Dr. Doom!

Meat Lover’s Pizza
Pizza Hut

If someone liked to mix five
different types of wine together
and drink it, would we call them

a wine lover? No, we'd call them
someone with a drinking problem.
If someone ordered five deserts,
would we call them a desert lover?
No, we’d call them someone

with an eating problem. So why

is someone who wants to have
several different types of meat on
top of something that’s already
pretty fattening a “meat lover?” No
wonder obesity is such a growing
problem! Meat lovers’ pizzas are
just another culprit in a long line of
symbols representing our culture’s
over consumption and desire to
have everything at once. Hey, I
enjoy eating meat too, so don’t tell
me that I’m not a meat lover just
because I eat one type of meat at a
time. Remember people, this isn’t
your last meal, you’re just having a
get together. Moderation! i

The Death of Adam
88-Keys

With The Death of Adam, Kanye
West’s protégé 88-Keys has created an
album that is not only highly listenable,
but could also be one of the realest
takes on dating and relationships in
the 21* century. Through the story of
Adam, a regular guy who just wants
to find a good woman, 88’ fleshes out
a Shakespearean tragic figure for the
age of Facebook and text messages.
Normally a producer, 88’ is the primary
rapper on Adam and while his voice is
alright, it’s always obscured by heavy
vocal processors. At his best he really
does a good job of evoking The Roots
but at his worst sounds like Akon
without the charisma; fortunately, it’s
more often the former than the latter.
The guest spots are fantastic on this
album; there are some respectable
unknown MCs but Kanye West and
Redman are the big guns. It’s a very
diverse album that shows the depth of
88’s vocabulary of beats and shows
promise for his future releases.
