Megadeth – Warchest – Review

April 1, 2008

Warchest is gorgeous. A weird catch-all, leaning heavily on live, plus demos, studio rarities, interview snippets, a disorganized symphony of destruction.

December 15, 2006

Sean Lennon is an extremely talented songwriter in his own righ, regardless of his genes. Friendly Fire, if anything, only strengthens that fact.

Saosin – Review

December 1, 2006

None of these songs are good enough for the radio, but it’s easy to like all of them equally, which itself is reason enough to toss a red flag.

Yellowcard – Lights and Sounds – Review

The guitars are “harder” this time out. Gone are the violin bits that, uh, kinda separated Yellowcard from every other chipper boy band.

Doves – Some Cities – Review

June 13, 2005

Although Some Cities isn’t quite as euphorically all-conquering as their debut, Lost Souls, it’s still a slice of heaven sent from Manchester.

They’re quirky and jumpy and make yer butt wiggle, like, I dunno, Weezer or any other band who likes the Cars.

Mando Diao – Hurricane Bar – Review

February 23, 2005

Swedish garage pop, catchy without being formulaic. Fans of Soundtrack of Our Lives and the Hellacopters who wanna expand into well-written pop will dig it.

The F-Ups – Review

The F-Ups bring us fast, pumping pop punk about having to go to school, dealing with parents, and, of course, awkward sexual situations.

Megadeth – So Far, So Good… So What! – Review

December 21, 2004

Stuck between the album that broke the band and the best album they would ever release. The forgotten middle child, and unjustly so.

Megadeth – Rust in Peace – Review

December 21, 2004

Lunging with ferocity and desperation, Mustaine, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza, layed to waste the aural battlefield with beautifully choreographed carnage.

Megadeth – Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? – Review

December 21, 2004

Immersed in drug-enhanced nihilism, the boys purged demons that would scare the pants off of that other M band. This shit’s fucking ferocious, man.

Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction – Review

December 21, 2004

Sounding slicker than ever, the songs were paired down to simpler arrangements, but Countdown to Extinction tread the line between accessibility and integrity.
