Shook Ones – Facetious Folly Feat – Review

November 20, 2006

The site references Lifetime and Kid Dynamite, and while I was gonna say Strike Anywhere with a sore throat, those bands are close enough.

Senses Fail – Still Searching – Review

November 20, 2006

There’s a reason why these guys are where they are. One of the best emo pop bands out there.

Seether – One Cold Night – Review

November 20, 2006

A live acoustic album with all the hits, including the song with Evanescence. You can almost see college girls mouthing the words with their eyes closed.

Roger Miret and The Disasters – My Riot – Review

November 20, 2006

Agnostic Front’s Roger Miret’s rock’n’roll project. One of the best 50 Social Distortion cover bands in the land, SD themselves being in the top five.

Represent – True At All Costs – Review

November 20, 2006

If you love your hardcore served straight forward and straight-edge and don’t already own CDs by Buried Alive, Ringworm, and Earth Crisis, this’ll fill the gap.

Raze To Ashes – Review

November 20, 2006

Singer’s got a good start, monster production’ll help, but he sounds more Molly Hatchet than Metallica, and the lyrics are just horrid.

Prophet Omega – The Natural World – Review

November 20, 2006

Great drumming and production, “The Right Thing” rocks like a Gap commercial, but it doesn’t last. I forget electronic-obsessed pop rock like this still exists.

Pillar – The Reckoning – Review

November 20, 2006

Pillar might fall somewhere between, I dunno, Hoobstank and Lit or something, but I kinda wish they’d just fall off a cliff.

The Generators – The Winter of Discontent – Review

November 20, 2006

A decent Social D opener. Not street punk, not fuck-all rock, just kinda decent rock. “I’m going to the bar for a couple songs, y’all want anything?”

Blut Aus Nord – Mort – Review

November 20, 2006

Nightmarish soundscape black metal. Sounds like a horror movie from a room away on a stormy night, and the music often sounds like a cat walking across a piano.
