Screeching Weasel – Thank You Very Little – Review

April 1, 2000

A 50-song collection of demos, outtakes, covers, comp and EP tracks, b-sides, and live shit you may’ve never heard.

Cathedral – In Memoriam – Review

April 1, 2000

Painfully, excruciatingly slow. How do people play this slow? I’ve heard and liked other Cathedral stuff, but I don’t remember it being quite so, well, slow.

Satanic Surfers – Going Nowhere Fast – Review

April 1, 2000

They’re angrier, less poppy, and sound like a lot of the mid-’90s Fat catalog of rampaging, start/stop, technically-impressive punk with a lot of heart.

Bruce Dickinson – Scream for me Brazil – Review

April 1, 2000

April 1, 2000

Broken Hope – Grotesque Blessings – Review

April 1, 2000

Grotesque Blessings, in all its death metal gorgeousness and catchiness, will probably go unnoticed by the outside world. It pisses me off.

Sally – Review

April 1, 2000

A thick, crunchy, bottom-heavy sound that rocks hard with an emphasis on the groove. Never thought a band with a guitarist named Nigel could beat this much ass!

Bright Eyes – Every Day and Every Night – Review

April 1, 2000

Lo-fi/open-heart serenades that sound like they’re talking about you… Mortal in its form (four-track recordings?), Bright Eyes sound tragic yet relevant.

S.O.D. – Stormtroppers of Death – Review

April 1, 2000

The spirit was undeniable, and the record went on to move a million pancakes worldwide, resulting in this reissue, and last year, a reunion record.

April 1, 2000

Movie Music Vol. One and Movie Music Vol. Two are “wrap-ups” or “discographies,” tracing Braid’s career with rarities, out-of-print, and unreleased material.
