Machines of Loving Grace – Gilt – Review

November 1, 1995

It’s a good, solid album of breathy sensuality mixed with anger and wit, but I miss the keyboards and devastating synths.

Lone Wolves – “Leggo” – Review

November 1, 1995

This is garage schlock the way it was meant to be done. Snarling, demented, slightly perverted, trash rock ‘n’ roll. I’m glad I’ve gotten a chance to hear them.

Logical Nonsense – Soul Pollution – Review

November 1, 1995

Super crusty and speedy punk rock that sounds like Filth. Logical Nonsense exemplify the very best of their limited genre.

Latch Key Kids – Time Out – Review

November 1, 1995

More “whoa” pop punk. They’re good at it, and I guess they exemplify the new skate rock sound.

Lake of Tears – Headstones – Review

November 1, 1995

I was going to write this off as ignorable doom metal with too few innovations, but “Sweetwater” was actually good.

La Gritona – Arrasa Con Too – Review

November 1, 1995

La Gritona puts together a full-length of plodding drums, sludgy guitars screeching with feedback, mile-thick bass, and a howling lunatic on vocals.

Kreator – Cause for Conflict – Review

November 1, 1995

A terrifyingly powerful record, produced huger than anything in Kreator’s back catalog. The cover art isn’t like days of old, but it’s Kreator, so it’s great.

Battery – nV – Review

November 1, 1995

Memories of a more Gothic Black Sabbath, with statuesque, not comic book, morbidity. Battery have heart, but the album lacks the twists to keep it interesting.

Jughead’s Revenge – 13 Kiddie Favorites – Review

November 1, 1995

13 Kiddie Favorites may not sell the units that the stadium punk bands do, but the songs sink in. They strike something deeper than pretty songs on the radio.

Jonny Polonsky – Hi, I’m Jonny Polonsky – Review

November 1, 1995

Jonny Polonsky has an odd sensibility to his goof indie music. With the blessings of Frank Black, he’s gonna be on every college radio station in a few weeks.
