Cash From Chaos – A Tribute to Johnny Cash – Review

November 11, 2002

Industrial bands covering Johnny Cash. When you want tongue-in-cheek, you get seriousness. When you want a dead-serious, brutal version, you get a goof.

Atticus – Dragging the Lake – Review

November 11, 2002

Hotshot punkpop and emopunk bands, and some up-and-comers. Unreleased tracks can be a misleading introduction, but it’s a nice addition for serious music fans.

At The End of Infinity – [Echoes & Thoughts of Wonder] – Review

November 11, 2002

The bands whisper of longing and desire, yet quietly seethe and stare into the fire, thinking terrible thoughts. Get this if you like Dead Can Dance and metal.

1 Giant Leap – Review

November 11, 2002

The concept is stunning: Use laptops worldwide to record various artists, put them all together in a U.S. recording studio – and link cultures.

Warped Tour 2002 Compilation – Review

November 11, 2002

There are a few old timers, a bunch of mid-’90s greats, and it’s practically a who’s who of all the news bands, both great and pathetic.

Voice This Sound – Review

November 11, 2002

Pop Unknown guitarist Joel Ganucheau and his newly-established Inverse Records bring 22 tracks of (mostly) muscular guitar power pop from the Texas/Kansas sun.

Victory Style – 5 – Review

November 11, 2002

In between old-timers dropping by, Victory Style 5 is the label introducing their new signees. For your “cover every subgenre” needs, look no further.

Hopelessly Devoted to You – Vol 4 – Review

November 11, 2002

Newer Hopeless/Sub City band are of two distinct schools: The Weakerthans and Jeff Ott go the acoustic route, Thrice and Avenged Sevenfold are heavy.

Unreleased – No. 1 – Review

November 11, 2002

Yup, I’m still a sucker for Deep Elm’s goods. If this is the unreleased stuff, you can only imagine how great the full-lengths are.

The Metal Years – Power Metal – Review

November 11, 2002

If you follow these genres, most of these bands are familiar. They’re mostly the big names, with little “filler,” and omissions were probably licensing issues.
