Jerry Cantrell – Degradation Trip – Review

September 9, 2002

A dense, sprawling, dead-serious collection of harrowing trips like Alice In Chains without the unpredictability or increasingly roughshod production.

Slipknot – Iowa – Review

March 15, 2002

True to the hype, Slipknot have created a meteor shower of extreme sights and sounds, deftly masking a nü metal premise they and Ross helped create.

Nickelback – Silver Side Up – Review

March 8, 2002

These guys, Days of the New, Lifehouse and all them, ya gotta appreciate what they’re good at, but let ’em know there’s still a lot of room for gettin’ better.

Anyone – Review

February 22, 2002

They’re kinda psychedelic in a Jane’s Addiction-meets-groove-metal-way, and if that sounds awful, well, it pretty much is.

Ill Nino – Revolution Revolucion – Review

February 22, 2002

Flamenco guitars are a new twist, authentic tribal drumming is always a welcome element, but I can really do without the cliché look and fashion.

Fear Factory – Digimortal – Review

February 22, 2002

I have to give the lugheads credit: I can’t trace “that eerie baritone vocal style” black metal adopted back any further than mid-’90s Fear Factory.

Dry Kill Logic – The Darker Side of Nonsense – Review

February 22, 2002

A decent angry band who sound like a suburban mix of Sepultura and Fear Factory. The bio states “It isn’t often that a band like Hinge comes along.” Yes, it is.

Deicide – In Torment In Hell – Review

February 15, 2002

With their seventh and final record for Roadrunner, Deicide whimpers across the finish line with barely any balls intact.

Type O Negative – The Least Worst Of – Review

April 1, 2001

This sucker’s sexy, gloomy, and funny in that Type O Negative way. Like covering Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath” from Lucifer’s point of view.

Soulfly – Primitive – Review

April 1, 2001

Rocks like the logical extension of Roots that the debut was, even as two of four members of the band from the debut have flown the (Gloria’s) coop.
