Devin Townsend – Physicist – Review

September 1, 2000

Devin’s genius is in his humor, his ability to meld lush “pop” melodies and production with brutal, pounding metal like absolutely no one else. A true pioneer.

Dee Snider – Never Let the Bastards Get You Down – Review

September 1, 2000

A collection of material that never saw the light of day that Dee Snider wrote throughout his time in Twisted Sister, Desperado, and Widowmaker.

The Business – Dropkick Murphys – Mob Mentality – Review

September 1, 2000

What began as a 7″ split with Dropkick Murphys and The Business playing each others’ songs, turned into this 12-song, 29-minute EP with some extra covers.

The Bruisers – In the Pit: Live and Rare – Review

September 1, 2000

A collection of live and unreleased/rare tracks by The Bruisers, a Boston/New Hampshire band credited as having inspired Oi!/streetpunk in America.

Dark Tranquillity – Haven – Review

September 1, 2000

Haven is a kind of return to roots, being harder, more metal, and sounding rather In Flames in the process. And I mean that in a good way.

Dance Hall Crashers – The Live Record – Review

September 1, 2000

THE BEST two-girl-fronted ska/punk band there is. The vocalists are so distinct that when they contribute to a friend’s record, you can totally tell it’s them.

Cooter – Slick Shoes – Split – Review

September 1, 2000

Cooter is yelping melodic punk, and they throw in some nice’n’nasty chords, but they never stray far from the peppy, heartfelt, Bouncing Souls-style vocals.

Super Transatlantic – Shuttlecock – Review

September 1, 2000

Couple ex-members of Saigon Kick and Extreme come together to flail about in as many genres as possible, trying to get someone’s, anyone’s attention.

CJSS – Kings of The World – Review

September 1, 2000

A blast from the past, but so is bed-wetting… Never cared for David T. Chastain, his guitarwork, his songwriting, his production, or his taste.

Strung Out – The Element of Sonic Defiance – Review

September 1, 2000

An eight-song, 25-minute EP to tide over their ravenous fans until their next full-length (by punk standards, probably 30 minutes long).
