Quickspace- The Death of Quickspace – Review

September 1, 2000

Fuckin’ right Quickspace should be big stars! You should fucking buy this fucking record and all the others. Then you should take a bath… with yer toaster.

Puny Human – Revenge is Easy – Review

September 1, 2000

It’s rock writ large and gruntly, heavy-bottomed and loaded for bear with a rhythm between a hipshake and a headbang on the ass end.

Power Symphony – Lightbringer – Review

September 1, 2000

Female-fronted power/epic metal with Celtic, doom, and classical influences. Very atmospheric and moody, but pushing the vocals too far forward.

OS101 – Pura Vida – Review

September 1, 2000

Feel the way hardcore first made you feel when you were a kid (7 Seconds, Descendents, etc.). Check out “No Clue” for some sweet harmonies.

Origin – Review

September 1, 2000

Kansas’ Origin are first and foremost a vicious death metal band with a bloodlust that’ll match Deicide and Cannibal Corpse.

Opprobrium – Discerning Forces – Review

September 1, 2000

Picking up where they left off with ’91’s amazing Beyond the Unknown, Discerning Forces is a throwback to the early ’90s (and best era) of death metal.

Frigg A-Go-Go – The Winning Score – Review

September 1, 2000

The incomparable Mr. Tim Kerr (o’ the Lord High Fixers) produced these bratty-soundin’ Louisiana R&B punkers. Right there, ya gotta know it’s gonna be good.

Nokturnal Mortum – NeChrist – Review

September 1, 2000

Long, angry, sounds like shit, is packaged with simple photocopies, fonts ya can’t read, and low-contrast photos of long-haired guys in corpsepaint.

NOFX – Pump up the Valuum – Review

September 1, 2000

Has no horns, no ska bridges, and few to no passionate swells that sometimes kick in to make ya realize NOFX can write really beautiful stuff.

New Bomb Turks – Nightmare Scenario – Review

September 1, 2000

They’re one of the great rock bands workin’ these days, straight up, record-wise as well as live.
