Hot Water Music – A Flight and a Crash – Review

February 22, 2002

A Flight and a Crash continues No Division’s Leatherface-sing-a-longs, but with more coherent melodies and song development.

Jucifer – The Lambs – Review

February 22, 2002

The first four tunes are all titled “Lambs,” from dreamy doom to thrash to piano ballad and back. Like a two-piece Melvins with Lori from Acid King singin’.

Love Like Blood – Chronology of a Love Affair – Review

February 22, 2002

So, like, it’s a comp, only it’s one band doing all the songs, or, better yet, it’s a Goth rock cover band’s CD. Yipee.

The Sights – Are You Green? – Review

February 22, 2002

The songs sorta have a Brit-influenced ’60s-something deal goin’ on, almost like The Makers, sans those fancy dressers fancy dresses.

Nullset – Review

February 22, 2002

Nullset is pretty straightforward rap metal, but at least they draw influence from the first Rage Against the Machine and not their bastard offspring.

Aveo – Bridge to the Northern Lights – Review

February 22, 2002

Aveo play drifting Northwest indie pop that owes more than a little to The Smiths.

Lost Horizon – Awakening the World – Review

February 22, 2002

Taking a page from In Extremo, Crimson Glory and lost ’80s yuksters Warrior, Lost Horizon don the warpaint and flowing finery of power metal fromage.

Holly Golightly – Singles Round-Up – Review

February 22, 2002

Holly Golightly doesn’t really do it for me, tho’ she understands where she wants to go with the fuggin’ stuff, it’s just sorta like a big messa cold spaghetti.

Leroy – Review

February 22, 2002

Leroy’s rich voice and funky stylings are very accessible, and have probably crept up on you. “Good Time” is the theme song for Denis Leary’s sitcom, The Job.

Testament – First Strike Still Deadly – Review

February 22, 2002

The long-awaited rerecording of the band’s early material has finally arrived. It’ll prove as devastating as it did the first time around, if not more so.
