American Hair Metal – Review

March 3, 2007

Much has been written and filmed about the ’80s and ’90s hair metal flash, most of which falls somewhere between tongue-in-cheek and downright mocking in tone.

Barenaked Ladies – Are Men – Review

March 3, 2007

Are Men was recorded during the same sessions as Are Me, so it’s no surprise its songs tread similar territory. While good, these tunes simply aren’t fantastic.

Anders Manga – Left of an All-Time Low – Review

March 3, 2007

Dark electronic, part dancefloor stomp, part mellow, rich croon. I gravitate toward dark synthpop, so Anders Manga suits me fine.

Kayser – Frame The World, Hang It On The Wall – Review

March 2, 2007

Stoner rock dudes teamed up with Swedish metal dudes, shredding tunefully and tastefully. It’s all about Spice’s voice and the clipped, compressed riffs.

Johnie 3 – The Prozacs – We Should Split – Review

March 2, 2007

Both crews operate on high-octane, light-hearted, fun-loving punk that I guess you could call pop in that more asses will be shaken than kicked.

Metal=Life Volume II – Review

March 2, 2007

Exclusively from Hot Topic, Metal = Life 2 features some of the best and worst metal and hardcore acts of today. The two CDs pack a bulky 38 tracks.

Tony Hawk’s Project 8 – Review

March 2, 2007

As the first Tony Hawk game built from the ground up for the current generation of consoles, you might think this is a complete overhaul. You’d be wrong.

Allhelluja – Pain Is The Game – Review

March 2, 2007

Come-lately “metal goes dirty rock” bands can stuff it, Allhelluja have been at it for years. Hatesphere’s singer. Solid enough to be The Quill in a bad mood.

XXX Maniak – Harvesting the Cunt Nectar – Review

March 2, 2007

Does justice to its name and fluidly mixes gore and porn-obsessed snippets before defecating relentless, generic goregrind. Makes Mortician sound like Rush.

The Prozacs – Johnie 3 – We Should Split – Review

March 2, 2007

The perfect dunebuggy punk holiday for kicking sand in the face of 98 lb. weaklings and turning their goodie-two-shoes girlfriends into wanton go-go dancers.
