Morrissey – You Are the Quarry – Review

September 20, 2004

You Are the Quarry is, as accusations have barked, the most polished, mainstream-sounding, and “poppy” album of Morrissey’s career.

Brides of Destruction – Here Come The Brides – Review

March 8, 2004

The closest thing we’re gonna see in terms of a major label new hard rock band made by old guys, save for uncomfortably similar doppelganger Velvet Revolver.

Death In Vegas – Scorpio Rising – Review

February 23, 2004

DiV throw a lot of flavors, from the opening, Spiritualized-fueled “Girls” to Mazzy Star guesting on the typically Mazzy-esque folk-pop “Killing Smile.”

KMFDM – WWIII – Review

February 23, 2004

KMFDM does what they do best: Kick-ass metal with electro beats and synths. We haven’t seen a KMFDM album quite like this since 1993’s ANGST or 1997’s SYMBOLS.

Superjoint Ritual – A Lethal Dose of American Hatred – Review

February 16, 2004

The whole thing is about under-achieving on the writing. Add to that a drum recording that sounds like milk 18 hours before it’s officially undrinkable.

Living Colour – CollideØscope – Review

February 9, 2004

As much as I wanted CollideØscope to be the texturous monster that the band’s first three albums were, I simply can’t deny its weak nature.

Anthrax – We’ve Come For You All – Review

October 22, 2003

We’ve Come for You All has NO FILLER in sight, only 14 of the best tunes the band have ever written.

Prodigy – Martin James – Review

July 23, 2003

Prodigy rock! I mean, they really rock! When they were x-ed out ravers, they rocked! And then some English pansy wrote a book about them, and they rocked!

Motörhead – Hammered – Review

September 9, 2002

Rock ‘n’ rollsy Motörhead punctuated by one all-out speed demon, a couple too-simple, too-stupids, and four-in-a-row that are rich, bloody-minded experiences.

Gravity Kills – Superstarved – Review

July 5, 2002

Gravity Kills, specifically, is decent background music if you’re doing something else interesting. Produced by Martin Atkins, it’s got the authentic sound.
