Sleeping Flies – You Are Superior – Review

August 16, 2002

The Editor has told me that I can’t do ultra-short reviews, like “The Happy Mondays did this already, in 1991,” because it messes up the layout.

Shogun – What Sin has Twisted – Review

August 16, 2002

Colorado’s Shogun have always impressed me with their kinetic, hyper-noise filled numbers, but for some reason, this four-song EP does nothing for me.

ShelleyDevoto – Buzzkunst – Review

August 16, 2002

Shelleydevoto slap Pet Shop Boys, late-era Eno, New Order, and Kraftwerk into a throwback synth-pop album called Buzzkunst.

The Pasties – Platonica – Review

August 16, 2002

Take the better “modern rock radio” bands, play Jellyfish for them, give them a few creative writing courses, and you have The Pasties.

Dillinger Four – Situationist Comedy – Interview

August 16, 2002

An interview with St. Patrick Costello

Ambition Mission- You Name It, We Hate It – Review

August 16, 2002

Guy and a chick yell’n’snarl, and all kinds of punk greats in their early (read: shitty-sounding, but pure) daze come to mind.

Count Me Out – Permanent – Review

August 16, 2002

Monstrous, in-your-face aggression pours out of Count Me Out’s latest offering, a pretty straightforward hardcore album. But I ain’t complaining.

Cave In – Review

August 16, 2002

All the drama, exploration, and bombast of Jupiter, focused tighter around “poppier” songwriting, and Steve Brodsky’s flamboyant-but-smooth vocals.

200 North – Watching the World Die – Review

August 16, 2002

Bland and poorly executed for the most part. Back to the drawing board and good luck with album two, boys.

Limp – Review

August 16, 2002

Limp has slowed down. Not that they’ve gone emo or anything so tragic, but instead of flying along at Strung Out paces, they’re rolling along like Nerf Herder.
