Theatre of Tragedy – Musique – Review

April 1, 2001

I think this is more Goth than most Goth metal cuz there’s a lot of keyboards and I sense you could dance to some of this, if you were so inclined.

The Bouncing Souls – The Bad, the Worse, and the Out of Print – Review

April 1, 2001

22 songs totaling almost an hour is a lot of any band, especially if it’s a collection of early mistakes, covers, and other things most woulda taped over.

Symphony X – V – Review

April 1, 2001

Symphony X are prog metal but I already own a bunch of Rush LPs. Maybe these guys are good if you like this kinda thing. Want my copy?

Swingin’ Utters – Review

April 1, 2001

Life’s too short to spend much time here: I had no idea Stephen Pearcy had been writing songs since 1976 yet only gets it right a few times.

Squad Five-O – Bombs over Broadway – Review

April 1, 2001

Siebenburgen – Delictum – Review

April 1, 2001

The third from these Swedish dark-dwellers, and the production shows they’ve been paying attention to the details.

April 1, 2001

They’ve snottily retaliated by recording this dorky gem entirely on toy instruments, video games, and stuffed animal voice boxes.

Screeching Weasel – Teen Punks in Heat – Review

April 1, 2001

As strong as classic Screeching Weasel, the originators (along with The Queers) of “whoa-a-wa-oh” pop-punk, Teen Punks… blasts out a slew of new tunes.
