Electric Frankenstein – Super Kool – Review

May 30, 2005

Covers of a heavy Sex Pistols tune (“Satellite”), and Black Sabbath’s rock ‘n’ roll side “Never Say Die.” Hard rock kickass derived from punkoid gettin’ it on.

50 Foot Wave – Golden Ocean – Review

May 30, 2005

Think of the Throwing Muses’ more straight-ahead stuff mixed with Dinosaur Jr. and Melvins. 11 awesome tunes, all written, played, and recorded with fire.

Chuck Schuldiner – Zero Tolerance – Review

May 30, 2005

Many fans will force themselves to sit through these two discs out of respect for Chuck, but the man deserves a much better retrospective than Zero Tolerance.

Carnal Forge – Aren’t You Dead Yet? – Review

May 30, 2005

Sounding like older Soilwork isn’t a bad thing, but how about trying something a bit different? Carnal Forge can do it: We have a talented band here.

Tiger Army III: Ghost Tigers Rise – Review

May 30, 2005

May 30, 2005

An interview with singer Mikael Stanne

Sons Of Otis – X – Review

May 30, 2005

Kinda like AC/DC albums: If you’ve heard one, you’ve heard ’em all. Content to create the sickest, most punishing heavy psychedelic rock ever created.

Slunt – EP – Review

May 30, 2005

Five tracks of party hard neo-sleaze rock based in early Kiss, Joan Jet, Quarterflash, Backyard Babies, and The Donnas.

Scamper – Leave Your Glasses On – Review

May 30, 2005

This ain’t my cup of tea, this tepid milquetoast-by-the-numbers-teenage-girl-dupin-Goo Goo Dolls shite, but I can’t get that goddamned “Sophie” outta my head.

Kylie Minogue – Ultimate Kylie – Review

May 30, 2005

This two disc collection is the perfect introduction to her discography, and the only Kylie compilation to span her entire career thus far.
