Migraines – Juvenilia – Review

January 1, 1999

Migraines are best noted for being one of the few bands almost no one’s ever heard of, but everyone will confuse with Vindictive and/or Sloppy Seconds.

Midget – Jukebox – Review

January 1, 1999

They really oughtta come to terms with the fact that they’re better at dippy, punky pop than filtering the Beatles through too many Goo Goo Dolls records.

MC5 – Starship – Review

January 1, 1999

Recorded a scant four months before Kick Out the Jams, Starship is virtually the alternative (read: “less listenable”) take of their first record.

Lostsouls – Fracture – Review

January 1, 1999

Combining elements of Korn, Machine Head, Fear Factory, and Meshuggah, it’s surprising that I have little more to say than, “Wow! Great Production!”

Kahimi Karie – Review

January 1, 1999

A little retro, a little neo (space-age bossa nova lounge trip-pop, for those keeping score), and contributions from many one-named sound hybridizers.

Judas Priest – Meltdown – Review

January 1, 1999

A jaw-dropped love-in with the new guy, Meltdown is a Ripper-fest of inspiring metal proportions. 23 tracks sampling one of the world’s best catalogues.

Alastis – Revenge – Review

January 1, 1999

Alastis has taken the safe route and stuck to the same formula that made The Other Side a good, but unremarkable album.
