L7 – The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum – Review

July 1, 1997

Most people know L7 through their convolutions to the movies, but they’ve been playing punt rock for years even though they’re just a bunch of girls.

U2 – Pop – Review

July 1, 1997

The new album borrows from the textiles of electroharmonica while refraining their mistakable signature sound. One of the best four-man quartets in the world.

Tricky – Pre-Millennium Tension – Review

May 1, 1997

The piece of paper that came with this called this “trip-hop.” That reminds me of the time I played the Easter Bunny at my school.

Silverchair – Freak Show – Review

May 1, 1997

These guys are so far beyond me it’s amazing and things. It’s like they’re poets, except they’ve got guitars. “No more maybes/ Babies got rabies” – I mean, wow.

Marianne Faithfull – 20th Century Blues – Review

May 1, 1997

These songs are kinda weird, slow and old-sounding. My brother told me they were written by some guy named Curt Vile. He’s one of those death-metal guys, right?

Bush – Razorblade Suitcase – Review

May 1, 1997

These guys combine a truly original sound with a sense of… hey, wait a second! They’re called Bush! Like, you know, a girl’s whozitthingy? That’s so cool!

Nirvana – From The Muddy Banks of the Wishkah – Review

November 1, 1996

I know nothing about these guys. The best I’ve been able to figure is that they’re some kind of Foo Fighters spinoff band.
