Gridlock’d – Review

September 1, 1997

Imagine the hopelessness of Kids melding with the amusing anecdotes of The Breakfast Club, though perhaps Clerks might offer a less glitzy alternative.

Flirting With Disaster – Review

September 1, 1997

And from there, things get really wacky. That’s a polite way of saying, “Good lord, this movie is getting stupid.”

Coroner’s Corner – Saving Two Hours Of Your Life – Column

September 1, 1997

A favorable pastime is gathering buddies, videos, and a case of Snapple (or favorite beverage). You can laugh like maniacs, and stop the film for discussion.

Beavis and Butt-head Do America – Review

September 1, 1997

I quite like it when they break stuff.

Divine Regale – Ocean Mind – Review

September 1, 1997

More from the post-metal, pre-Floydian slip of Queensrÿchian rule, Divine Regale write songs, dammit, songs!

Primal Scream – Vanishing Point – Review

September 1, 1997

Bobby Gillespie spent much of the past three years not only reassessing, but reconstructing and redefining what he, his band, and rock ‘n’ roll are all about.

Dimmu Borgir – Enthrone Darkness Triumphant – Review

September 1, 1997

They’re heavy that blends the sounds of throat-tearing vocals, maniacally riffing guitars, and technicolor dreamcloak keyboards into one “symphonic mass.”

Paul K and the Weathermen – Love is a Gas – Review

September 1, 1997

If Nick Cave found his happy place, went to Vegas, won some cash, listened to a little lounge, and stopped for a quick lobotomy, it might sound like this.

Dead Boys – Younger, Louder & Snottier – Review

September 1, 1997

A standard-setting self-destructive punk album, bringing out the raw, throat-shredding vocals of Stiv Bator and the fuck-overdubs guitarwork and skin-bashing.

Paingod – Review

September 1, 1997

Chugga-chugga-chugga. Roaring lyrics about harsh reality and all that. Formerly Raped Ape, Florida’s Paingod have released their debut on Century Media.
