Latimer – LP TItle – Review

April 1, 1995

Is it indie? Post punk? Noise pop? They play too well to be punk. The production is too good to be noise. They don’t sing well enough to be pop. A keeper.

Laika and the Cosmonauts – The Amazing Colossal Band – Review

April 1, 1995

Laika & the Cosmonauts have a clever album here, full of surf music riffs, tremolo-laden guitar tracks and astral keys. No vocals.

KMFDM – Nihil – Review

April 1, 1995

Slow and trudgy, there’re no speed-killer thrillers like “Drug Against War,” but the album rocks from start to finish.

Killers – Menace to Society – Review

April 1, 1995

“Past Due” recalls his stint with Maiden, but much mimics the sound of Pantera, a throaty roar and electronic kickdrum thudding dully in your face.

Juliana Hatfield – Only Everything – Review

April 1, 1995

She’s cute, her bubblegum voice is cute, she writes catchy cute songs with lots of noisy, fuzzy guitars and loud drums.

Jerkwater – Review

April 1, 1995

It sounds like it’s got interesting points (solid drumming), but you’ve got to dig through murky, generic grooverock to get at it.

Jasper and the Prodigal Suns – Everything is Everything – Review

April 1, 1995

Following the five-song Cherrydisc EP, Are You Read/People Get Ready, comes this 12-song live mix of jazz, funk, rap, and Caribbean groove.

Jag Panzer – Dissident Alliance – Review

April 1, 1995

I have a huge collection of vinyl from the ’80s, and Jag Panzer’s EP is in there with “Metal Melts the Ice” and other horrendously schlock-metal ditties.

It Is I – Evolve – Review

April 1, 1995

Brutally slow doom sludge featuring Thomas Choi of legendary Asbestos Death (now Sleep). If this album doesn’t crush you, you’re already dead.

Iced Earth – Burnt Offerings – Review

April 1, 1995

Burnt Offerings begins like Halloween, launches into speedcore, then growling vocals are offset by a rich male voice and angelic backup, then warbling falsetto.
