Lard – ‘70s Rock Must Die – Review

April 1, 2000

If you long for plodding, Ministry industrial, here’s more of it. Only instead of Al’s distorto cowboy rants, you get Jello’s unmistakable warble.

Huntingtons – Darlington – Review

April 1, 2000

I sometimes kinda like Huntingtons, but when their not-best-work is placed next to the modern-day equivalent of the Violent Femmes, they suffer in comparison.

Before You Were Punk 2 – Another Punk Rock Tribute to ’80s New Wave – Review

January 1, 2000

Before You Were Punk2 begins its 12 songs (only 37 minutes) with The Suicide Machines’ take on The Romantics “What I Like About You.”

Austin Powers – More Music from The Spy Who Shagged Me – Review

January 1, 2000

Even if they’re new songs, they have the good graces to sound like they could’ve been written much earlier. This is the soundtrack you want to buy.

Type O Negative – World Coming Down – Review

January 1, 2000

If you peel away the layers of sexuality, debauchery, love, loss, and carnage of both Carnivore and Type O, you’ll see an under-current of classic rock.

You’ll Never Eat Fast Food Again – Review

January 1, 2000

Mostly pop punk, a little ska punk, all very young and energetic, without all the jaded apathy of many of the older punk bands.

Total Chaos – In God We Kill – Review

January 1, 2000

“Thundering” metal, vocals that sound like the singer’s trying to shit, and even the punk/Oi! anthems falls flat cuz the guitars are outta tune half the time.

Tilt – Viewers Like You – Review

January 1, 2000

Lead vocalist Cinder Block has one of the most powerful voices in punk, so don’t get any cutesy images of, like, No Doubt or Dance Hall Crashers.

Zimmers Hole – Bound By Fire – Review

January 1, 2000

Leave it to Canadian madman Devin Townsend and friends to uncap finger-snapping melodies, eye-blinking noise bursts, and dark metal comedy.

The Undecided – Review

January 1, 2000

With songs that sound exactly like quick-picked & palm-muted NOFX and clean, youthful vocals like The Get Up Kids or something, how can you lose?
