Ted Nugent – Full Bluntal Nugity – Review

February 22, 2002

68 minutes of Ted Nugent’s greatest hits live. No overdubs, plenty of Nuge swearing, a shout out to opener (?) Sammy “fucking” Hagar, as the Nuge tags him.

Gary Numan – Pure – Review

February 22, 2002

Pure has that certain Nine Inch Nails (Broken) feel. But rather than displaying Trent’s teenage rage, Gary brings a more refined aggressiveness to his songs.

Cradle of Filth – Bitter Suites to Succubi – Review

February 22, 2002

The urge to worship Cradle of Filth has been lurking in that mind of yours, so why not stop fighting it and revel in the tingling embrace of the Dark Side?

Inhale 420 – The Stoner Rock Compilation – Review

June 4, 2001

A nice bandwagon-jumper of a comp aimed to get you on board with some of Spitfire’s heavier rock’n’roll bands.

Crowbar – Sludge: The History of Crowbar – Review

June 1, 2001

They come to their grindcore slow pig-iron thick, like some hardcore bands did to express the downer nature of their reality in real, physical musical terms.

Dog Fashion Disco – Anarchists of Good Taste – Review

June 1, 2001

Alice Cooper game show organ reeling with very Uriah Heep/Deep Purple meets Sam Black Church/Marilyn Manson kind of warped stuff – interesting and unsettling.

Sixty Watt Shaman – Seed of Decades – Review

April 1, 2001

No surprises here if you’ve been following the recent ’70s rawk trend; lotsa early-to-mid ’70s classic rock with early Metallica whomp.

Yngwie Malmsteen – War to End All Wars – Review

April 1, 2001

The man with a past that’s most committed to, married to, and having his way with, all the rules of power metal practiced by those vacant of such a past.

Black Label Society – Stronger than Death – Review

June 1, 2000

Al serious, pensive, and decidedly not the party metal you’d expect. Dark, doomy, textured like 50-grit, and stompingly metallic.

Crowbar – Equilibrium – Review

April 1, 2000

Continuing down the pathway of the underrated Odd Fellows Rest, Kirk, Sammy and crew have inflicted more Trouble into their fire-the-brimstone doomskullery.
