Mushmouth – Lift the Curse – Review

April 1, 2001

If you thought early Earth Crisis, All Out War, and Hatebreed were mind-numbingly boring, you’ll be surprised at how much worse it can get.

Murphy’s Law – The Best of Times / Good For Now – Review

April 1, 2001

Two of Murphy’s Law’s hard-to-find releases reissued on one disc. You can’t beat that!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show – at Circle in the Square Theatre – Review

April 1, 2001

Muscularly-lipsticked actor Tom Hewitt butches and babes-up Frank ‘N’ Furter to the hilt. With a blonde buzz cut that shines like razors.

Underground Station – Column

April 1, 2001

160 pages of some of the best of the original underground artists like Bode, Crumb, and Shelton mixed with newcomers like Kiernan Sawyer and Randy Vogel. It’s good for the occasional fan that prefers a compilation to a half dozen obscure comix.

MuDvAyNe – L.D. 50 – Review

April 1, 2001

They either’ve listened to Meshuggah or they’re copycatting someone who has. The usual Korn and Tool stylings are bearable, sometimes enjoyable. No, really…

Kylie Minogue – Light Years – Review

April 1, 2001

It’s not the fluff of her first four albums, but more of a disco club music score than anything. “Kids,” a duet with Robbie Williams, is fantastic.

Midget Handjob – Midnight Snack Break at the Poodle Factory – Review

April 1, 2001

This is the kinda stream-of-consciousness “spoken word” with noisy avant-jazz/anal probing that only famous lunatics can get away with.

Malevolent Creation – Envenomed – Review

April 1, 2001

Malevolent Creation ceased to progress beyond the usual blastbeat/mosh-breakdown-part combination, but I still find myself loyal to every record they put out.

Kahimi Karie – Tilt – Review

April 1, 2001

Tilt is Kahimi Karie’s new 13-song album, released in Japan, and it’s precisely what we’ve come to expect from her.

Mactatus – The Complex Bewitchment – Review

April 1, 2001

Good ol’ black metal carnage. Blurred guitar, non-stop drumming, blackened howls at dark skies, and more time changes than you’d expect in a mere eight songs.
