Covered like a Hurricane – A Tribute to Scorpions – Review

June 1, 2000

A lot of these singers were second-rate to begin with, and that was a long time ago. But some put in performances that take a decent rocker and make it theirs.

Catch the Rainbow – A Tribute To Rainbow – Review

June 1, 2000

Helloween’s drummer Uli Kusch assembles a good chunk of the band plus the cream of German metal for a hi-tech, hi-fidelity romp through the Rainbow catalogue.

Be a Caveman – The Best of the Voxx Garage Revival – Review

June 1, 2000

When Greg Shaw says there was no scene or outlet for this garage stuff, he’s most likely right, so we oughtta thank him for comin’ up with the Voxx thing.

Steel Prophet – Messiah – Review

June 1, 2000

Steel Prophet are without a doubt one of America’s marquee power metal bands, slotting comfortably and confidently between Helloween and Primal Fear.

Starmarket – Four Hours Light – Review

June 1, 2000

When you strip everything away from a song – attitude, delivery, distortion – and still have something touching and relevant, that’s songwriting at its best.

Anthems of Rust & Decay – A Tribute to Marilyn Manson – Review

June 1, 2000

Pretty dark, weird, aggressive, and diverse. Some tracks are whispered schlock, some are ambient nightmare, and some are mediocre metal with loud dance beats.

After School Special – Review

June 1, 2000

Tracks nicely, playing as a really strong album. The appropriate way to find out what’s what with one of America’s premier rock/punk/metal/hardcore labels.

Robert Belfour – What’s Wrong with You – Review

June 1, 2000

Fat Possum release this comparatively restrained set o’ songs by one Robert Belfour. He’s a guitar player, to be sure, but a madman, I think not.

River City High – Richmond Motel – Review

June 1, 2000

River City High doesn’t rely on a schtick (unless you count dressing like Social Distortion) but only comes up with half-original tunes.

A Fistful of Rock N’ Roll – Vol. 2 – Review

June 1, 2000

You’ll have faves, but no let-downs. If you saw the New Bomb Turks/ Zen Geurilla/ Hellacopters/ Supersuckers tour last year, you’ll know what he’s about.
