Each Friday, we bring you reviews of 10 recently released CDs done in 10 words each:

Input Pictureface — Can’t get past what sounds like rapper with a lisp.

The Rippingtons Modern Art — Upbeat jazz makes me think of a doctor’s waiting room.

O+S O+S — Remy Zero bassist teams with Orenda Fink for mellow grooves.

Kaskade The Grand — Electronic music gets your ass moving…all sounds the same. (At The Forum on May 15.)

Kylesa Static Tensions — Music is a little more unique, but screaming’s the same.

Shrek the Musical Original Cast Recording — Seriously?!? Why not try writing a better movie sequel instead.

The Blackbelt Band A New Community — Music isn’t bad, but lyrics and vocals are kinda weak.

Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks Tangled Tales — Could do without jazzed-up cover of “Subterranean Homesick Blues.”

16 Frames Where it Ends — Sorry, but most of these lyrics, beats sound ripped off.

The Mojo Gurus Let's Get Lit With... — Rock with a Southern twang is unintentionally — I think? — comedic.
