Supergrass – Life on Other Planets – Review

August 27, 2003

Life on Other Planets is like a “best of” mix of your favorite ass kicking (classic) rock bands. Supergrass is the real thing.

Elvis Costello – When I Was Cruel – Review

September 9, 2002

An excursion into Swing-style horns, jazzy anti-ballads, and noir film soundtracks. Anyone looking for balls-out power pop ala ’77 is going to be disappointed.

Hoobastank – Review

September 1, 1999

There are good cuts on this CD, lots of them, but over-all it lacks the focus of Great Milenko, or RiddleBox.

Insane Clown Posse – Forgotten Freshness – Review

January 1, 1999

Made up of previously-unreleased, re-mixed, or otherwise unavailable stuff, Forgotten Freshness succeeds on its own excesses.

Tripping Daisy – Jesus Hits like the Atom Bomb – Review

November 1, 1998

Meandering, mushy guitar, reams of moody organ, strings of wrangly guitars, miles of dead air, bump-in-the-road vocals, and a tunnelful of tin can reverb.
