Better Than Ezra – Deluxe – Review

March 1, 1995

This Louisiana trio is best described as “Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Gin Blossoms co-headline for a Muzak benefit.” Deluxe is as sappy as sappy gets.

Adam Ant – Wonderful – Review

March 1, 1995

Adam Ant’s unique vision still spans from the sublime to the ridiculous. The album’s patchy, but worth picking up, if only for the kooky lyrics.

March 1, 1995

Tripe – Too Much Fond – Review

March 1, 1995

Tripe’s vocals are familiar, but clean and solid, not needing any trick effects to fatten out the sound, and the lyrics are intelligent and well-written.

March 1, 1995

Dreamtime may be Verlaine’s most straightforward “rock” album, but, that said, it’s still a far cry from leather-clad-leg-on-the-monitor bombast.
