Dead Kennedys – Mutiny on the Bay: Live! From the San Francisco Bay Area – Review

February 15, 2002

While now folks have the formula and can mass produce it, back then, it was oddball, irritating, and jarring off-the-wall unrock like nothing anyone had heard.

Dead Kennedys – Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death – Review

Carlos Santana – Divine Light: Reconstruction & Mix Translation by Bill Laswell – Review

February 15, 2002

Carlos has the skill, but his jazz isn’t top notch. Santana fans want him to rock, jazz fans want him to swing, and Divine Light doesn’t really do either.

Garbage – Beautiful Garbage – Review

February 15, 2002

Rock fans who didn’t like Version 2.0 are unlikely to appreciate Beautiful Garbage.

Fleshies – Kill the Dreamer’s Dream – Review

February 15, 2002

Problem is, the songs don’t quite live up to their titles. In fact, Fleshies kinda suck, no matter what Biafra says about “what punk rock was supposed to be.”

February 15, 2002

Night Ranger rocked harder, just for perspective. Some of the harmonies remind me of Warrant’s “Heaven Isn’t Too Far Away,” but more, ya know, European.
