All – Problematic – Review

April 1, 2001

18 songs in under 35 minutes (most two minutes, plus a few short blasts), ranging from lovestruck to pissy to thoughtful to silly. Yup, going for ALL…

Rancid – Review

April 1, 2001

22 songs in 38 minutes. Fast, furious, melodic in spite of itself, and pretty damn punk cuz that’s what it wants to be.

Radiohead – Kid A – Review

April 1, 2001

Only time will tell if Kid A will play host cadaver to millions of mediocre maggots trying to embed “electronic dabblings” into their “new sound.”

Alabama Thunderpussy – Halfway to Gone – Split – Review

April 1, 2001

The singer sounds like he’d be more at home fronting a hardcore band, but the rest of the band is remarkably well tied into their Southern-fried “thing.”

Corrosion of Conformity – America’s Volume Dealer – Interview

April 1, 2001

An interview with guitarist Woody Weatherman

AFI – The Art of Drowning – Review

April 1, 2001

A lot less melodramatic and self-centered than their last full-length, perhaps realizing that all the posturing in the world can’t save a bad song.

Adamantion – When it Rains, it Pours – Review

April 1, 2001

Yeah, they like their breakdowns and their Metal Zone pedals too much, but they copy the heavy-hitters with enough of their own conviction to make it work.

Proudentall – What’s Happening Here – Review

April 1, 2001

The Appleseed Cast’s guitar arpeggios, Boy’s Life’s peculiar melodic progressions, and The Get Up Kids’ “rockin'” rhythms. It’s pleasant on the ears.

Pissing Razors – Fields of Disbelief – Review

April 1, 2001

Album number three in as many years finds these Texans cementing their reputation as true rock’n’roll hellraisers in both personality and musicality.

Pennywise – Live@The Key Club – Review

April 1, 2001

18 songs, almost an hour’s worth of Pennywise live, you guessed it, at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA.
