9 Volt – Nine Volt – Review

November 1, 1998

9 Volt will undoubtedly provide excellent steering-wheel drumming basslines for latenight cruisers and Taco Bell-bound suburban kids everywhere.

Happy Meals 2 – Review

November 1, 1998

This perfect marriage of punkpop and powerpop lasts 50 minutes, the exact amount of time I’ve been lamenting to my therapist cuz a comp like this didn’t exist.

Groove Radio – Review

November 1, 1998

Half the fun (the other is dancing vertically, horizontally, or bouncing around like a pinball in your car) is trying to peg the origin of the samples.

Nobodys – Greatasstits – Review

November 1, 1998

Greatasstits takes all the comp tracks, demo tracks, 7″ tracks, unreleased outtakes, and everything else and puts it all on one very, very long CD. It’s tits.

Firestarter – Review

November 1, 1998

Firestarter could be your foot in the door that, once opened, allows a beautiful darkness into your life.

Nine Wood – New Can of Ice – Review

November 1, 1998

The singer’s got a voice like Gracie Slick, and she sounds like she sincerely means every word she enunciates about her gray sweatshirt with the hole in it.

Vader – Black to the Blind – Review

November 1, 1998

Three records later and Vader have soaked up like so much bile, the work of all those New York and Florida technical deathsters, ingesting and learning it well.

12 Rounds – My Big Hero – Review

November 1, 1998

They’re on Reznor’s Nothing label. But so’s Manson. The singer has a snotty, sneering voice, like The Divinyls, or maybe Wendy O. Williams with a head cold.
