Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth – Review

June 13, 2005

The best tracks on With Teeth are the slow, and (relatively) quiet ones. Not to say that the harder ones don’t kick ass, they just seem more pushbutton.

Samael – Reign of Light – Review

June 13, 2005

This collective (Kovenant, Satyricon, Sentenced, Amorphis, Nile, Lake of Tears) play clubby, mechanistic, Rammstein, er, disco metal, but they’re evil about it.

Mudvayne – Lost And Found – Review

June 13, 2005

Less exotic and more regular rockin’. With Slipknot, Mudvayne are survivors in nü metal, this record entering the Billboard charts at an astounding #2.

DIY for Dummies – Rant

June 13, 2005

Parents didn’t do their kids any favors when they said they were special and that they could do anything. Not every kid is special. Most of them suck.

Motion City Soundtrack – Commit This to Memory – Review

June 13, 2005

I nervously held my breath before pushing play. Relief. The snyth is still there. The bounciness of their songs still makes my head bop along to the beat.

Million Dollar Marxists – Give it a Name – Review

June 13, 2005

Rama-lama punk rock rolling down a highway paved by the first couple New Bomb Turks LPs. Zooming riffage, stump-jumper rhythm section, and nicely held vocals.

Mercenary – 11 Dreams – Review

June 13, 2005

Filled with majesty and sorrow, 11 Dreams displays a depth and variety rarely seen today. Like Opeth and Into Eternity, Mercenary eschew conventional genres.

We’re All Gonna Die – The Wreck of The Minot – Review

June 13, 2005

Second release from the boys from Boston makes use of teenage years spent at hardcore/thrash shows and listening to Soundgarden, Tad, Alice In Chains, Nirvana.

Polezilla – Review

June 13, 2005

Other cultures are fun to make fun of, especially if you do it behind their backs. They paint buildings purple. They have random sculptures with no explanation.

Mental Shrapnel: Movie Combinations – Column

June 13, 2005

Lollipop has a long history of making fun of stupid people, stupid trends, over-hyped movies, TV shows, bands, and anything else we see.
