Theft, Arson, Vice, Murder and Death – Review

May 23, 2004

Not really a label compilation since the majority of the 22 tracks are not by Traktor7 artists. I’ll assume it reflects the tastes and personalities of the folks behind the label. The most eclectic compilation I’ve ever heard.

Noisy Compilation – Review

May 23, 2004

Supersuckers rip shit up, Atom & His Package make emocore boys sing to juvenile lyrics, Good Clean Fun pack humor into hardcore, Boris The Sprinkler roars with hilarity, and Propagandhi reign as the most relevant punk band today.

Gimme Skelter – Review

May 23, 2004

A disc of semi-popular gribble that encompasses differing rock quality not found on the radio dial.

Nashville Pussy – Keep on Fuckin’ in Paris – Review

May 23, 2004

A 16-song set, including tons of classic material from Let Them Eat Pussy and High as Hell and Say Something Nasty. You also get an AC/DC cover (“Shot Down in Flames”) and a Turbonegro cover (“Age of Pamparius”).

Murray and Johansson play off each other perfectly, and director Sofia Coppola masters the balancing act of making the city seem welcoming when the characters are together, and ominous and empty when they’re not.

Lamb of God – Terror and Hubris – Review

May 23, 2004

Lots of drunken revelry is placed against the band taking their mission very seriously indeed, through sincere, well-meaning interview footage documenting everything from the band’s origins to their creative process.

An interview with Donna Ricci

Judas Priest – Electric Eye – Review

May 23, 2004

Though it takes nothing away from the majesty of the band’s finest rock, the videos are every bit as bad as I remember. Also included are six rare performances recorded for BBC television, 1975-1980.

John Lennon – Legend – Review

May 23, 2004

You almost feel like you’re getting reacquainted with someone close and dear. Legend’s crowning achievement: It makes John a real person.
