Gaza Strippers – Electric Bible: The New Testament – Review

June 2, 2001

Electric Bible plus a Five Fingers… track, two unreleased tracks from the Laced Candy sessions, and a souped-up cover of Elvis Costello’s “Lipstick Vogue.”

Gandalf – Rock Hell – Review

June 2, 2001

Blending Swedish melodic death metal (In Flames-style) with wide-stance AC/DC and Alice Cooper choruses, you have the ultimate metal/rock hybrid.

Elegy – Forbidden Fruit – Review

June 1, 2001

While there’s a ballad here, most of the rest is fist-bangin’ good times, and there’re even a few double-bass thunders with scorching Yngwie-esque solos.

Crispus Attucks – (The First Album) – Review

June 1, 2001

14 songs in 24 minutes, all fast’n’furious, straightforward hardcore punk like those old skater videos we all grew up on.

Chinchilla – Madness – Review

June 1, 2001

Tragically stupid name for a pretty decent heavy metal band. I had a chinchilla once. Absolutely useless thing, but cute. Woulda made a nice pair of gloves.

Children of Bodom – Follow the Reaper – Review

June 1, 2001

Kinda thin-sounding. The solos and fills are all right upfront (and that’s the main reason to fall at this band’s feet), but there’s just nothing brutal here.

Chemlab – Suture – Review

June 1, 2001

The three EP tracks are old school industrial and worth a few spins, and for those into remixes of more popular/less interesting material, there’s plenty.

Down By Law – Pseudo Heroes – Split – Review

June 1, 2001

Awful takes on “The Kids are Alright,” “Whole Lotta Rosie,” “Safe European Home,” “Surrender,” and “Sweet Home Alabama.”

Buckcherry – Time Bomb – Review

June 1, 2001

Fourth gen glam-inbred rock and pretty goddamn uninteresting at that. Over half the record is sleepy, and the good tunes’d get their asses kicked by Extreme.

Foundation – Review

June 1, 2001

Robbie Huddleston of Richmond, VA’s Ann Beretta takes another crack at the acoustic thing, because his band’s attempt didn’t live up to his satisfaction.
