Art of Noise – The Seduction of Claude Debussy – Review

January 1, 2000

Art of Noise decided to plunder the past and bring it into the future, grafting drum’n’bass and other techno marvels onto Debussy samples.

Brandtson – Fallen Star Collection – Review

January 1, 2000

Leaning toward The Promise Ring and (gulp!) The Get Up Kids. A lighter, livelier, “less dark” but still great Brandtson with their solid sophomore release.

Will Haven – WHVN – Review

January 1, 2000

This sounds like every other metal/noisecore band out there. Chug-chug-chug, scream! Sludge-sludge-sludge, scream (again)! Atonal shred-shred-shred, snore…

Arch Enemy – Burning Bridges – Review

January 1, 2000

This batch of songs is simply irresistible. Catchy like the classic power metal bands that you love, anthemic in its energy… just fucking great song writing.

Bombshell Rocks – Street Art Gallery – Review

January 1, 2000

These Swedes rock hard, with a gruff-voiced singer and songwriting ability that makes you wanna joyously slam into yer buds, roughhouse a little, and celebrate.

White Skull – Tales From the North – Review

January 1, 2000

Here’s a lame attempt at replicating the success of Hammerfall, White Skull (whah?) coming up short with their own laughing-out-loud Sacred Steel record.

Where Fear and Weapons Meet – The Weapon – Review

January 1, 2000

Nooooo… must turn off… though it would be better than last release (horrible 7″)… me wrong… very wrong…

The Reverend Horton Heat – Holy Roller – Review

January 1, 2000

Over 70 minutes long, with 24 faves and a few unreleased/rare tracks, Holy Roller is an easy way to jumpstart yer faith in the healing powers of psychobilly.

Aphrodite – Review

January 1, 2000

I kinda like the freaky-creepy doom bass & frantic, schizophrenic beats, but after a while, the whole “I’m more serious than you” thing gets tiresome.

Wheat – Hope and Adams – Review

January 1, 2000

Like little musical doodles done after significant events in the lives of the musicians. Wheat does this by not rocking out at all. Ever.
