Nile – In The Beginning – Review

June 1, 2000

In The Beginning is a reissue of the band’s pre-debut recordings, gathering two batches, Festivals Of Atonement from ’95 and Ramses Bringer Of War from ’97.

A New Found Glory – From the Screen to Your Stereo – Review

June 1, 2000

While only a few of the songs have breakdowns or production tricks added, just hearing a good song played well, a lot faster than usual, is pretty cool.

Nerf Herder – How to Meet Girls – Review

June 1, 2000

While the novelty of this novelty act has kinda worn off and How to Meet Girls is often just more of the same, it sometimes stumbles across pure genius.

Neck – Should My Fist Eye – Review

June 1, 2000

Tool’s depressiveness, Cave-In’s technicality, Botch’s spine-tapping guitarings, Deftone’s melodic false serenity, and a monster truck-sized production.

Mott the Hoople – Greatest Hits Live – Review

June 1, 2000

A whole show from Bowie’s intro to crowd participation cover of the Stones’ “Honky Tonk Woman.” Plus bonus track (their words), Sonny Bono’s “Laugh At Me.”

Metal Church – Live – Review

June 1, 2000

Ripping open with catchy thrasher “Ton Of Bricks,” Live captures this “almost” band criss-crossing the country in ’86 after their second album, The Dark.

MDFMK – Review

June 1, 2000

MDFMK (KMFDM backwards) is similar to KMFDM, so what? They had many good ideas spread over their 10 years of “techno/industrial dance” pioneering/regurgitating.

Mammoth Volume – Noara Dance – Review

June 1, 2000

Second disc from this rock band. Yeah, rock. Like early FM album rock, the kinda stuff that parents called “hard rock” in ’74.

Malevolent Creation – Manifestation – Review

June 1, 2000

You shouldn’t need this uneven best-of because you should already own every Malevolent Creation album (well, except for the monotonous In Cold Blood).

Los Infernos – Rock and Roll Nightmare – Review

June 1, 2000

Rock And Roll Nightmare is pretty much straight up punk rock’n’roll, they just knock ’em back balls out crazy-man style, ‘kay?
