Solex – Pick Up – Review

April 1, 2000

If Tricky and April March married their music, this would be their daughter. The music of Solex (real name: Elisabeth Esselink) really is that interesting.

Crowbar – Equilibrium – Review

April 1, 2000

Continuing down the pathway of the underrated Odd Fellows Rest, Kirk, Sammy and crew have inflicted more Trouble into their fire-the-brimstone doomskullery.

SNFU – The Ping Pong EP – Review

April 1, 2000

The truth is that a bagel is just a bad fuckin’ doughnut, and I never really liked SNFU.

Smogtown – Führers of the New Wav – Review

April 1, 2000

Smogtown runs thru the numbers. They’ve got suburban teen dream nightmares and distill ’em thru the fewest three chords any human’s ever decided they need.

Cro-Mags – Revenge – Review

April 1, 2000

Cro-Mags hold the same respect reserved for legends like Agnostic Front and Murphy’s Law, and Revenge won’t change that any time soon.

Sixteen Deluxe – The Moonman is Blue – Review

April 1, 2000

Bouncy, fuzzy garage rock with melodies like Sonic Youth and Imperial Teen. An ambitious garage pop band mixing lots of styles, but retaining their identity.

Converge/ Agoraphobic Nosebleed – The Poacher Diaries – Review

April 1, 2000

I’ve never been a fan of either band, and I’m reminded why with The Poacher Diaries. Madness for madness sake, spazzing out like a little kid.

Six Feet Under – Bonus Disc – Review

April 1, 2000

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be an extra installment to their last full-length, but I am sure that Six Feet Under is still as boring as ever.

Control Denied – The Fragile Art of Existence – Review

April 1, 2000

Chuck Schuldiner has the respect of every metal fan in the world. His venture into power metal, Control Denied, is nothing less than “two thumbs up.”

Sinner – The Second Decade – Review

April 1, 2000

A cool introduction to one of Germany’s longest-running and most prolific power metal institutions, Sinner proudly up there with Rage and Grave Digger.
