Stephen Pearcy – Before and Laughter – Review

April 1, 2001

Life’s too short to spend much time here: I had no idea Stephen Pearcy had been writing songs since 1976 yet only gets it right a few times.

Star People – Genius – Review

April 1, 2001

If Egon of Ghostbusters made an album, this would be it. Slip on your silver glitter deely-boppers, adjust your Coke bottle glasses, and rock out, Earthlings.

Squad Five-O – Bombs over Broadway – Review

April 1, 2001

While the notes are right, and The Rock attitude is flaunted just fine, emo kids jumping on the latest wagon just doesn’t cut it.

Soulfly – Primitive – Review

April 1, 2001

Rocks like the logical extension of Roots that the debut was, even as two of four members of the band from the debut have flown the (Gloria’s) coop.

Slash’s Snakepit – Ain’t Life Grand – Review

April 1, 2001

Many styles, all of them proud, robust, boastful, roaring, positive arena rock, even the mellower moments paying rent like a good Aerosmith album.

Sixty Watt Shaman – Seed of Decades – Review

April 1, 2001

No surprises here if you’ve been following the recent ’70s rawk trend; lotsa early-to-mid ’70s classic rock with early Metallica whomp.

Sinclaire – Attention Teenage Girls – Review

April 1, 2001

Strikes a familiar chord by having all the right breakdowns and rockin’ parts, and letting the singer strain for those high notes in a really honest way.

Six Feet Under – Graveyard Classics – Review

April 1, 2001

Dead expected, Barnes’ true middle median average centrist death vocal over dull production, simple arrangements, one tone throughout, no layers, no surprises.

Siebenburgen – Delictum – Review

April 1, 2001

The third from these Swedish dark-dwellers, and the production shows they’ve been paying attention to the details.

Sick of it All – Yours Truly – Review

April 1, 2001

After putting out consistently good records for almost 15 years, Sick Of It All are back with another no-frills chunk of NYHC goodness.
