Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Dilemma: A reviewer says Lindsay Lohan's new CD has "all the personality of HAL 9000," but you don't know if this particular critic is just some Lindsay-hating-Paris-loving-beeyatch. Where's the bias detector?

Solution: Metacritic's Metascores, a system that combines reviews from sources like Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Pitchfork to generate a final grade. Here, Lohan's "A Little More Personal" receives 50 out of 100, making it the 67th-worst album on the list. Brian Wilson's magnum opus "Smile," meanwhile, enjoys number 1 status, and Loretta Lynn's rock-country hybrid "Van Lear Rose" rolls in at number 2. Actors-turned-pop idols like Lohan, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Jamie Foxx tend to languish at the bottom of the barrel. But the worst-rated album? Well, let's just say K-Fed, we hardly knew ye.
