Steve Stevens – Electric Flamenco – Review

September 1, 2000

Ex-Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens releases an almost hour-long acoustic flamenco record (despite the title).

Brainstorm – Ambiguity – Review

September 1, 2000

German power metal with chugging guitars, powerful vocals, driving beats, the requisite ballad, and practically nothing to distinguish itself from the pack.

Boiler Room – Can’t Breathe – Review

September 1, 2000

Heavy God Lives Underwater mixed with that whisper-to-a-scream thing every hack-ass nü metal band is doing now. Luckily, Chris Lino has a soulful voice.

Spiders & Snakes – London Daze – Review

September 1, 2000

The fifth release by Spiders & Snakes, formed by Lizzie Grey, a former member of London (with Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx and Mott the Hoople’s Nigel Benjamin).

Slick Shoes – Wake Up Screaming – Review

September 1, 2000

Not as fast as before (less of the stuttering NOFX riffs), and while I guess they’re branching out a bit, it doesn’t really grab me the way previous songs have.

Slick Shoes – Cooter – Split – Review

September 1, 2000

Manic God-punk with Ryan Greene-sounding production, but here they slow down a touch (still fast tho’) and the fourth track is an impromptu fuck-around.

Skid Row – 40 Seasons: The Best Of – Review

September 1, 2000

A best-of record compiling the hits from the first two records with remix/demo/live versions from Subhuman Race, and a couple unreleased tracks.

Sit N’ Spin – Enjoy the Ride – Review

September 1, 2000

All-girl garage rock. Pretty straight-forward and simple, without all sorts of gimmicks and over-production.

Sinergy – To Hell and Back – Review

September 1, 2000

Children of Bodom’s Alexi Laiho still rips shit up on his geetar, and Kimberly Goss is belting it out more believably, but there’s still something missing.

Samantha 7 – Review

September 1, 2000

Ex-Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille returns as singer/guitarist for this straight rock surprise. Without the trappings of glam, ya realize C.C. sounds pretty rock.
