Wolfpac – Evil Is – Review

June 4, 2001

I’s horrible. I get hives just thinking about it. Avoid this album. Unless yer a genetically-deficient glue sniffer. If so, you’ll probably like it.

Tricky – Mission Accomplished – Review

June 4, 2001

Tricky seems to have been wrapped up in jungle, and his repetition has moved from enticing to annoying.

The Lowdown – Revolver II – Review

June 4, 2001

Noisy. Sloppy. Fun. A buncha left-coast rock freaks and some broken instruments, and an engineer who likes when people overload mic lines.

The Damage Manual – Review

June 3, 2001

Take the four most innovative musicians of the post-punk wasteland of the mid-’80s, and use their body of work as a launching point. You get The Damage Manual.

Squirrel Nut Zippers – Bedlam Ballroom – Review

June 3, 2001

The scene which propelled them to stardom (the Big Band Revival) has faded, but they have taken their core sound and jazzed it up a little.

Opium Jukebox – Music to Download Pornography By – Review

June 3, 2001

Drugged-out versions of Gary Numan’s “Cars,” NIN’s “Head Like A Hole,” Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” Devo’s “Whip It,” and Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me.”

NoMeansNo – One – Review

June 3, 2001

They’re still hammering low-end rhythmic blasts, pretty technically adept, and creative, still pissed off about the same things, and on top of their game.

Nine Inch Nails – Things Falling Apart – Review

June 3, 2001

For those of you who thought that The Fragile was too long, too complex, with not enough actual songs going on, this is for you.

Meg Lee Chin – Junkies and Snakes – Review

June 3, 2001

Junkies and Snakes has this industrial/rock feel, lotsa noisy, angry sounds, and Meg can shriek rather chillingly as well as whisper seductively.

Add N To (X) – Add Insult to Injury – Review

June 1, 2001

They’re all wild about old keyboards and electronics, so they put together a band that plays these old, messy electronic sounds in a punk way.
