Boys Like Girls – Review

February 16, 2007

With catchy hooks and displays of actual talent, this self-titled album reminds us all of what’s its like to be 16, with only lust and liquor on your mind.

The Ravonettes – Pretty In Black – Review

May 26, 2005

Anyone who liked Debbie Boone or Donnie & Marie will like this. It’s so sweet and mom-friendly, it’s creepy. Like an alien plot to make us all dumb. Too late.

Cake – Pressure Chief – Review

February 7, 2005

The album is okay, better than most of the shit that’s being produced. It’s growing on me. This might be the album we’ve been waiting for since Fashion Nugget.

Jeff Buckley – Grace: Legacy Edition – Review

February 7, 2005

In the 10 years since its release, Grace has gone from critics’/underground darling to global phenomenon.

X-ecutioners – Revolutions – Review

September 20, 2004

At first listen, Revolutions is great party music grooves and beats that won’t quit. Continue to x-plore their sonic landscape, and be prepared to be schooled.

Amen – Death Before Musick – Review

September 13, 2004

A 15-track rallying cry dominated by dangerous dealings, bad feelings, and enough pent-up energy exhumed to fuel another New York City blackout.

Judas Priest – Electric Eye – Review

May 23, 2004

Though it takes nothing away from the majesty of the band’s finest rock, the videos are every bit as bad as I remember. Also included are six rare performances recorded for BBC television, 1975-1980.

Wheat – Per Second Per Second Per Second… Every Second – Review

February 2, 2004

Gone are the endearing lo-fi gems, replaced by sleek hooks and even sleeker sound quality, a bold leap into the Big Leagues.

Iron Maiden – Dance of Death – Review

February 2, 2004

Maiden have made a career out of creating godlike classics out of simple ideas: It’s what they do best. And they do it on Dance of Death over and over again.

Uncle Tupelo – Still Feel Gone – Review

August 16, 2003

The second album is their most straight-ahead rock album, and also the weakest. The album feels like the solo work of separate artists rather than a band.
