Right In The Nuts – A Tribute to Aerosmith – Review

September 1, 2000

It’s kinda cool how some of these bands have worked this stuff back to the root heritage, proving how good the songs are when you scrape the sheen off.

Them Wranch – Big Noise from East – Review

June 1, 2000

These guys build their rock’n’roll out of the commonly-held few chords and rhythms that’ve been around 70 – 80 years in “popular/folk” culture.

Power from the North – Sweden Rocks The World – Review

June 1, 2000

The concept is simple: Get a bunch of Swedish metal bands to take a whack at tunes by Swedish bands that laid the groundwork for them.

After School Special – Review

June 1, 2000

Tracks nicely, playing as a really strong album. The appropriate way to find out what’s what with one of America’s premier rock/punk/metal/hardcore labels.

A Fistful of Rock N’ Roll – Vol. 2 – Review

June 1, 2000

You’ll have faves, but no let-downs. If you saw the New Bomb Turks/ Zen Geurilla/ Hellacopters/ Supersuckers tour last year, you’ll know what he’s about.

A Fistful of Rock N’ Roll – Vol. 1 – Review

June 1, 2000

These bands don’t follow genre convention, they use the rock mulch as fuel and barrel ahead like a big cunt-hungry bulldozer fulla speed, Viagra, and booze.

U.D.O. – Holy – Review

June 1, 2000

Anyone who dug Accept will probably dig this, seeing as the parameters haven’t changed. It’s a bit slower and more measured in its approach.

Queens Of The Stone Age – Restricted – Review

June 1, 2000

The tones are consistent with the rock Mr. Radio Programmer isn’t scared of. The geeping and blorping done by synth are but spicing, and quite tasty at that.

The Quill – Review

June 1, 2000

Straight organic metal bridging ’70s hard rock structure, ’80s clarity and punch, and ’90s editing flow and power.

North Mississippi All Stars – Shake Hands with Shorty – Review

June 1, 2000

Boogie blues rooted in the country blues of the South/mid-South. If they can get to the tunes, they could pop out a “Brothers and Sisters” for this millennium.
