Dead Kennedys – Bedtime for Democracy – Review

February 15, 2002

While now folks have the formula and can mass produce it, back then, it was oddball, irritating, and jarring off-the-wall unrock like nothing anyone had heard.

D.R.I. – Greatest Hits – Review

February 15, 2002

Greatest Hits captures many of the classics from the first couple records (Dirty Rotten EP and Dealing With It), and probably some of the Crossover shit.

Europe – The Final Countdown – Review

February 15, 2002

Night Ranger rocked harder, just for perspective. Some of the harmonies remind me of Warrant’s “Heaven Isn’t Too Far Away,” but more, ya know, European.

All – Live + One – Review

February 8, 2002

22 songs in 50 minutes on this first CD just doesn’t cover it… The “Plus One” is a second CD of the Descendents live.

Guttermouth – Covered with Ants – Review

February 8, 2002

Truth is, I’ve run outta new ways to describe Guttermouth’s fast’n’snotty punk antics, but that’s OK, cuz they’re basically repeating themselves by now anyway.

Godgory – Way Beyond – Review

February 8, 2002

Mostly decent doom stutter’n’stumble, the kinda choppy, “binary”-style Meshuggah whips about, but here slinkily coils slowly around your ankles like nü metal.

Red Planet – Let’s Degenerate – Review

February 2, 2002

While the fruity squealing vocals still remind me of Gaza Stripper Rick Simms with his nuts caught in his zipper, Cheap Trick’s Zander sung pretty as a girl.

Antifreeze – Four Letter Words – Review

February 2, 2002

Two singers. One sounds really young, like Saves the Day or Anti-Flag, and the other sounds a little thicker, like a cross between The Ataris and MxPx.

Lacrimas Profundere – Burning: A Wish – Review

February 2, 2002

Some nice elements, granted, but it’s all, ya know, first-draft stuff. And after almost a decade, you’d think these guys could’ve dug a little deeper.

TV Sucks – Review

June 4, 2001

This novelty comp is all TV theme songs. But it’s mostly German. But it’s punkpop: It’s fun and silly, and “Pipi Langstrumpf” is head-bobbing in any language.
