Runnin’ Riot – Reclaim the Streets – Review

April 1, 2001

Workin’ class Oi, pure Irish style, the kinda stuff ya can fake ’til yer blue in the face, but you’ll never get right.

Hammerfall – Renegade – Review

April 1, 2001

Twin guitar leads blaze like trick fighter pilots at an air show, chugging, melodic riffs and long, dramatic holds where the guitarist can point “look out!”

Green Day – Warning – Reviews

April 1, 2001

Aside from the jumpy punkpop and acoustic touching Top 40 ballads, there’s a vulnerability and sadness and dark underbelly to the chipper, jangly threesome.

Rotting Christ – Khronos -Review

April 1, 2001

Originally simple, raw and shitty-sounding like classic ’80s greats, then becoming ever-more complex before falling for that Goth metal thing a few years ago.

Forlorn – Opus III: Ad Caelestis Res – Review

April 1, 2001

Distantly-produced black metal from Norway that never got to the big time. A good opening band for the greats, ripping beats, full of Viking rage and pride.

Fine China – When The World Sings – Review

April 1, 2001

Sweet and ’80s naive, based on classics like The Smiths, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys and Suede instead of Chemical Brothers and Prodigy.
