Disbelief – 66Sick – Review

June 1, 2005

A few glorious moments here and there to spice up an otherwise completely listenable, completely interchangeable brutal metal band.

Byla – Review

June 1, 2005

Members of Relapse’s Dysrhymia and Crucial Blast’s Infidel?/Castro! making “delicate,” subtle, breathing soundscapes.

Blind Myself – Worst-Case Scenario – Review

June 1, 2005

Hungarian hardcore, four records in. Used to live in NY and tour with Ignite and such. I’m more a metal guy than a hardcore guy, so this is mediocre to my ears.

Blacklisted – We’re Unstoppable – Review

June 1, 2005

A reissue of their outta print Stillborn release, with demo recordings, all slathered with thunderous production. Classic hardcore, with modern roar.

Biomechanical – The Empires of the Worlds – Review

June 1, 2005

Blends tightly-compressed Pantera groove’n’thunder with Halford screeching. Kinda cool, kinda embarrassing, as warbling power metal usually is.

Beecher – Review

June 1, 2005

UK metalcore that howls and froths as vitally and unimaginatively as their American counterparts. Plus clean vocals to show diversity, just like everyone else.

Ambry – Holding On By the Blindfolds We Hide Behind – Review

June 1, 2005

I’m always amazed that anyone can tolerate this junk. Trendy, yelpy “hard rock” that grew outta hardcore, but never learned to sing.

Applied Communications – Uhhh Sort Of – Review

May 26, 2005

Awful band name, awful band. Cheesy electro indie pop shit, like Atom & His Package, without his humor or sense of melody, which leaves you with jack shit.

33HZ – Review

May 26, 2005

Wow, I forgot dance music could be this bad. Do people really listen to this stuff?

Gomez – Out West Live At The Fillmore – Review

May 26, 2005

Double live record by this Virgin Records Brit band. I vaguely recall not hating this band, but from this live CD, I can’t remember why not. Mainstream rock.
