My Sleeping Karma – Review

January 1, 2007

I like the rock tunes better than the meandering psychedelia, but I’m like that. Great bass work, very Geezer Butler, and I don’t get to say that much.

Mr. Gnome – Review

January 1, 2007

Breathy and sexy trip-hop style cooing, which goes banshee on your ass. Paces range from sparse and sultry to beating your ass back and forth across the room.

Million Dollar Marxists – Zero Culture – Review

January 1, 2007

Last release was on Gearhead, had a Dirty Donny cover, yet I seem to recall it being a little more punk than garage. By my memory sucks.

MGH – Little Bit Country – Review

January 1, 2007

They use keyboards, talking drums, fretless bass, dulcimer, saw, bugle, whistle, soda bottles, calculator, and newscast blips. You’re on your own.

Mendeed – The Dead Live By Love – Review

January 1, 2007

Third full-length, a glorious grab bag of thrash shred, hardcore stomp, Blind Guardian harmonies, snarling and clean singing, and dueling soloing.

Makeoutmusic – Get off my Soapbox – Review

January 1, 2007

Glad to know unsigned melodic punk bands can still palm-mute and rampage. Always kind of afraid bubblegum punk and NOFX-style riffery will die off.

Maaster Gaiden – Like It Never Happened – Review

January 1, 2007

Good stuff here. Lots of manic energy and non-stop garage punk riffing. Simple and effective.

Love Me Destroyer – The Things Around Us Burn – Review

January 1, 2007

Tours with Planes Mistaken for Stars and A Wilhelm Scream, and this outing was recorded by a guy who used to be in Fear Before the March of Flames.

Lovedrug – Everything Starts Where It Ends – Review

January 1, 2007

People reference Radiohead and Muse cuz there’s something British about the high, trembling vocals. A powerhouse of a singer, with strong pop rock back up.

Lordi – The Arockalypse – Review

January 1, 2007

Whitesnake, Zodiac Mindwarp, Gwar, and Blind Guardian chopped up and sewn back together with a big cock swagger, a toothy smile, and a penchant for buggery.
