Saint Seiya – Volumes 1, 2, 3 – Review

May 23, 2004

Our hero, Seiya, trains in Greece to become Pegasus, while his peers train in China (Shiryu the Dragon), Siberia (Hyouga the Cygnus), Death Queen Island (Ikki the Phoenix), and so on.

Peter Gabriel – Growing Up Live – Review

May 23, 2004

Effortless and graceful, filled to the brim with his trademark melancholy. When “Red Rain” or the classic “In Your Eyes” hit your ears, all the hairs on your body stand up. The crashing crescendos, the impeccable playing of his backing band (including his very talented daughter, Melanie, on backup vocals), and the tasteful use of electronic flourishes render sights and sounds that we the fans have known all along.

Opeth – Lamentations – Review

May 23, 2004

You see the band creating, thinking real hard, in the studio, emulating the old ways, which, unfortunately for the band’s health, included recording in a “classic prog” studio, a process which almost killed the band.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico – Review

May 23, 2004

While Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a noble attempt to take the flagrantly ridiculous and blend it with the serious, that’s only worked once: John Woo’s The Killer.

Noisy Compilation – Review

May 23, 2004

Supersuckers rip shit up, Atom & His Package make emocore boys sing to juvenile lyrics, Good Clean Fun pack humor into hardcore, Boris The Sprinkler roars with hilarity, and Propagandhi reign as the most relevant punk band today.

Lost In Translation – Review

May 23, 2004

Murray and Johansson play off each other perfectly, and director Sofia Coppola masters the balancing act of making the city seem welcoming when the characters are together, and ominous and empty when they’re not.

Lamb of God – Terror and Hubris – Review

May 23, 2004

Lots of drunken revelry is placed against the band taking their mission very seriously indeed, through sincere, well-meaning interview footage documenting everything from the band’s origins to their creative process.
