Sigur Ros – “untitled #1” (a.k.a. “Vaka”) single – Review

October 8, 2003

This smaller dose does the job perfectly by stunning me with the band’s womb-like warmness for a satisfying 18 minutes.

DJ Shadow – The Private Press – Review

May 16, 2003

His first full-length in six years, DJ Shadow still pleases the audiophiles with quirky compositional skills, but he’s also turned up the fun factor.

DJ Encore feat. Engelina – Intuition – Review

May 17, 2002

Occasionally more pop than it is dance and vice versa, but most of these tracks walk that fine line of dance-pop and do so in an irresistible manner.

Blink-182 – Take Off Your Pants and Jacket – Review

February 22, 2002

Accessible, sure, and they take pretty safe chances and wag their privates at The Establishment, who’re pretty used to punks waving their privates at them.

H2O – Go – Review

February 22, 2002

Go is powerchords glazed with sweetness; singalongs at every turn. And the next album might see H2O dangerously close to commercial rock.

Puya – Union – Review

February 22, 2002

Stuttering and annoying much of the time (with the tendency to work the band name into the lyrics), Puya bring a cool percussive take to a played-out sound.

Blue Meanies – The Post Wave – Review

April 1, 2001

After years of being a ska band, when anyone into the stuff already knows and respects these guys, they get signed to a major as they mellow out.

New Found Glory – Review

April 1, 2001

They’re talented musicians and can ape a style immaculately, but it’s got no guts, no spine, and no credibility.

B.B. King – Blues on the Bayou – Review

June 1, 1999

On this outing, even the orchestrations seem pretty damn comfortable, just like Mistah Riley hisself pickin’ an’ grinnin’ on the front cover.

Puya – Fundamental – Review

June 1, 1999

Switching effortlessly from Limp Bizkit to Mambo Kings, Fundamental is a hybrid that sometimes takes many forms in a single song.
