Lee Jung Hyun – Lee Jung Hyun II – Review

September 1, 2000

A lot less techno and a lot more dance than her amazing debut. To be fair, it’s not cheese, but I’d like to see her do something a bit more obscure.

Extol – Undeceived – Review

September 1, 2000

Forget In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or any other band that “carries the torch of At The Gates.” Extol is the closest and the most passionate you’ll find.

Carmen Consoli – Stato di Necessita – Review

September 1, 2000

The fourth album from Italy’s Carmen Consoli. While it’s not as rocking as her previous disc, it’s certainly as moody and just oozes melancholy.

Euroboys – Long Day’s Flight Till Tomorrow – Review

September 1, 2000

Who woulda thunk that the axe-grinder from Turbonegro and the drummer from Gluecifer would concoct a maryjane-hazed soft-core porno soundtrack?

Euroboys – 1999 Man – Review

September 1, 2000

Who woulda thunk that the axe-grinder from Turbonegro and the drummer from Gluecifer would concoct a maryjane-hazed soft-core porno soundtrack?

Paola & Chiara – Television – Review

September 1, 2000

A solid if not brilliant album. Sax, Spanish guitar and The London Session Orchestra appear in many of the tracks, helping to build layers and layers of sound.

E.town Concrete – The Second Coming – Review

September 1, 2000

Ferocious, infectious, well-organized, and unpredictable enough to pull off the “tough street kids” shtick without sounding cliché. This is a great record.

Endless – With Everything Against Us – Review

September 1, 2000

Hatebreed without the small doses of technicality, Blood For Blood without the thug attitude, Gorilla Biscuits but angrier and more prone to “chug-chug-chug”s.

Autour De Lucie – Faux Movement – Review

September 1, 2000

While Valérie Leulliot’s vocals remain a pleasant blend of haunting and sweet, the songwriting is a bit more progressive, with two songs topping six minutes.

Eleven – Avantgardedog – Review

September 1, 2000

Eleven gives you a chance to weep at the feet of genius. Beautiful, swelling, heart-rending songs that’ll have you belting out the melody after a few listens.
