Wonderlick – Review

May 31, 2002

Goofball noises from squiggy electronic trills to Kermit the Frog-like shouts add to the weird palette, making refreshingly new-sounding music.

Greenwood – Horus On The Horizon – Review

May 31, 2002

Greenwood are to Kyuss what Grand Funk were to Zeppelin. A straight rock attack that’s as much a clean, heavied-out “grunge” thing as a “stoner” one.

Mike Felumlee – 64 Hours – Review

May 31, 2002

Mike Felumlee was the drummer of Smoking Popes and Alkaline Trio. This is his solo album. He wrote it all (‘cept a cover) and performed it all (‘cept guests).

Judas Priest – Turbo – Review

May 31, 2002

The most reviled item in the original lineup’s catalogue, the one title whose mere mention garners a snicker. This is unquestionably the band’s low point.

Judas Priest – Turbo – Review

May 31, 2002

All pop, dumbed down yet again, but hiding a few gems in “Turbo Lover,” “Hot For Love” and “Reckless.” Unexpected ripper of a bonus track, “All Fired Up.”

Judas Priest – Ram It Down – Review

May 31, 2002

Launching with a trademark Halford scream, the album launches into the speed metal of the title track. Though the Turbo influence has not dissipated completely.

Judas Priest – Ram It Down – Review

May 31, 2002

Ram It Down is possibly the most ignored Priest album of all time, and you might ignore it all over again, given that both bonus tracks are live.

Judas Priest – Painkiller – Review

May 31, 2002

Scott Travis’s double kick-drum energizes the band. Downing and Tipton whip out some of their best guitar work and Halford does some of his finest screaming.

Judas Priest – Painkiller – Review

May 31, 2002

An album of historical weight, the band captured razor-ready by Chris Tsangarides, ass-kicking at the double bass boot-end of new skinsman Scott Travis.

Judas Priest – Live – Review

May 31, 2002

As live albums go, it’s OK, but because of its reliance on the weak Turbo material, it pales in comparison to Unleashed in the East.
