Lacrimosa – Fassade – Review

February 22, 2002

Lacrimosa play decent Goth metal with a variety of interesting quirks, but I just can’t get passed the atrocious cover and joltingly sudden fade-outs.

The Simpsons Wrestling – Review

February 22, 2002

Worthy of the Krusty brand trademark, The Simpsons Wrestling trades on the popularity of the TV icons with an unremarkable product with little appeal.

Kalmah – Swamplord – Review

February 22, 2002

From Finland, recorded at Tico-Tico, and released on Spikefarm/Spinefarm. Top-notch musicianship, but they might as well be a Children of Bodom tribute band.

Owls – Review

February 22, 2002

Featuring the original cast of Cap’n Jazz, Owls sound like what you would expect: Wildly-innovative young ‘uns-turned-veteran conceptualists.

Amon Amarth – The Crusher – Review

February 22, 2002

The Viking mythology-obsessed Amon Amarth is back. Full of At The Gates guitar sounds, Carcass melodic riffs, and rusty gears-sounding metal at Abyss Studios.

Quake III – Team Arena – Review

February 22, 2002

An expansion pack for Quake III. It won’t work without the original and adds features that should never’ve been left out of the initial release.

February 22, 2002

More handclaps like the Bay City Rollers, ‘cept no spelling, cuz Tyler doesn’t wanna teach ya to spell. Tyler’s here to rock ya. He’s still pissed off tho’…

Quake III – Revolution – Review

February 22, 2002

A valiant but insufficient effort to export a very popular multiplayer only PC game onto a console system that won’t have online capability for a year.

Judas Priest – Sin After Sin – Review

February 22, 2002

Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent for Leather, and Unleashed In the East: The silver gleamed, the riffs rifled, and Halford was at his high-flying’ best.
