Borknagar – Empiricism – Review

March 15, 2002

Sure, there’s a bit (or a lot) of pretension here, not to mention a real risk of prog geekery. Passionate, brutal, beautiful, frightening stuff.

March 8, 2002

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.

Crashpalace – Review

March 8, 2002

Filter/God Lives Underwater in the production, something fuzzy and vaguely futuristic, and that may be what saves CrashPalace.
