Norma Jean – Redeemer – Review

March 12, 2007

Little more than a pleasant genre band, one of thousands, and all the artist graphic design in the booklet doesn’t make the music any better.

Nightwish – Highest Hopes – Review

March 12, 2007

The Best of Nightwish. Anyone into Evanescence who can live with layered operatic screeches and metal mall-strutting should check this out.

Moros Eros – I Saw the Devil Last Night and Now the Sun Shines Bright – Review

March 12, 2007

It’s mostly too “look at us, aren’t we clever?” for me, but when they “stick to the rock,” they’re quirkily weird and fun anyway.

Aiden – Rain in Hell – Review

March 12, 2007

Just because Aiden wear eyeliner and cheerleading gossip queens wet their panties over them doesn’t mean they blow. They’re fun, and this EP/DVD shows that.

Borknagar – Origin – Review

March 12, 2007

An acoustic album with flutes and shit. Vintersorg’s voice can break hearts, but I just can’t get passed the freakin’ flutes.

Bambix – Club Matuchek – Review

March 12, 2007

Female-fronted three-piece punkpop from The Netherlands, been around for a few years, play solid pop-oriented punk with real tunes and style in spades.

Los Burbanks – Snake – Review

March 12, 2007

Born and raised in Mexico City, the singer and main songwriter brings some interesting influences to the generic alt rock style.

Librarians – Alright Easy Candy Stranger – Review

March 12, 2007

Dark and dancey T Rex-damaged indie rock with a new wave fixation.

Imperial – We Sail At Dawn – Review

March 12, 2007

Formulaic metalcore produced by a guy who’s worked with Poison the Well. Running into battle and stomping around in the mud are the two paces present.

I Am Ghost – Lover’s Requiem – Review

March 12, 2007

Signed to Epitaph from a burned demo when the band had been together all of two months. They played lots of Warped Tour dates. Thing is, they still suck.
