The Saints – Eternally Yours – Review

March 1, 1998

Both punkier in its cynicism (“Know Your Product,” “This Perfect Day”) and slicker in its approach, using full horn sections and more ambitious arrangements.

Wumpscut – Embryodead – Review

March 1, 1998

Minor key string lines leading into thumping sequences and the ubiquitous distorted voice. Nice symphonic elements, it works better than most.

Spice Girls – Spice World – Review

March 1, 1998

It’s scary to actually recommend songs off this album, but the Spanish guitar-driven “Viva Forever” is as good as any other pop ballad torturing the airwaves.

Pigface – A New High in Low – Review

March 1, 1998

Pigface. Martin Atkins and friends have once again blown my mind with A New High In Low, a bold exposition in sound and texture. An absolutely necessary disc.

Pig – Wrecked – Review

March 1, 1998

A solid mix of beats and guitars, Watts edges his way into the territory held by Reznor five years ago. Not that that’s a bad thing.

Numb – Blood Meridian – Review

March 1, 1998

Pretty good in the intros, usually schizzing out or creeping up before settling into the usual distorted stompalongs. The album ends on a doom and gloom note.
