Adhesive – Sideburner – Review

March 1, 1998

Swedish speed punk tripping over itself with singable melodies, harmonies, and thundering drums. Adhesive is thoughtful, genuine, and hard-working.

The Saints – Howling – Review

March 1, 1998

Only Bailey remains from the original lineup and the modernized sound is a far cry from the enlightened primitivism of the Ed Kuepper days.

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.
