| | Rivait's rejects: 2007 edition By Lindsey Rivait Arts Editor January 9, 2008
Working as an Arts Editor has its perks—namely the amount of free CDs I get in the mail every day. Unfortunately, they can’t all be winners. Here is a list of some of the more special albums I’ve run across for 2007, both inside and outside of my office.

Guns ‘N Roses

Years I have been waiting for this album: 14.
Years I will continue to spend still waiting in disappointment for this album: 14. I like to remain optimistic. >> |
