The Booked – Feel the Pride – Review

June 1, 2000

Gritty, tough, street punk/Oi! like GMM and TKO have been steadily releasing, Texas’ The Booked are workin’ class punk for hard knocks punks.

Identity – 6 – Behold Another World – Review

June 1, 2000

18 tracks, maxing out at just over 70 minutes of metal, most sub-genres represented. Groove-oriented nü metal allows the indulgence of black/Goth/dark metal.

Go-Kart vs. The Corporate Giant – 2 – Review

June 1, 2000

Cunningly disguised as a piece-of-shit punk comp, this masterpiece of “audio salvation” will entertain you with the fresh sounds of today’s hottest artists.

Don’t Mess with Hopeless – Review

June 1, 2000

Weakerthans, Dillinger Four, Against All Authority, Scared of Chaka, Digger, and The Queers. Free and worth every penny of it!

Covered like a Hurricane – A Tribute to Scorpions – Review

June 1, 2000

A lot of these singers were second-rate to begin with, and that was a long time ago. But some put in performances that take a decent rocker and make it theirs.

Anthems of Rust & Decay – A Tribute to Marilyn Manson – Review

June 1, 2000

Pretty dark, weird, aggressive, and diverse. Some tracks are whispered schlock, some are ambient nightmare, and some are mediocre metal with loud dance beats.

Speedbuggy USA – Cowboys and Aliens – Review

June 1, 2000

From punk and rock backgrounds (ex-members of NOFX, Sugartooth, Junkyard) Speedbuggy go the roots/country route, and unlike many, they do it well.

Sloppy Seconds – Garbage Days Regurgitated – Review

June 1, 2000

Sloppily covering tunes by those who influenced ’em, but these version are bad. They shoulda picked better songs, more songs, and done a better job playin’ ’em.

Usurper – Visions from the Gods – Review

June 1, 2000

Part old school hyperblast black metal, mostly classic ’80s heavy metal/thrash, all dirty, nasty, and evil as shit.

Sixer – Busted Knuckles and Heartbreak – Review

June 1, 2000

“Sugar Water” is rock as gospel. “Can’t seem to find my way home,” and we’re talkin’ in the spiritual sense here. This’d be cheese if not done with such heart.
