Bright Eyes – Every Day and Every Night – Review

April 1, 2000

Lo-fi/open-heart serenades that sound like they’re talking about you… Mortal in its form (four-track recordings?), Bright Eyes sound tragic yet relevant.

Braid – Movie Music Vol. 2 – Review

April 1, 2000

Movie Music Vol. One and Movie Music Vol. Two are “wrap-ups” or “discographies,” tracing Braid’s career with rarities, out-of-print, and unreleased material.

Braid – Lucky to Be Alive – Review

April 1, 2000

Emitting energy from every note, syllable, and beat, Lucky to be Alive succeeds by showing that Braid is not one of those “new material only” live bands.

Boy Sets Fire – Coalesce – Review

April 1, 2000

Boy Sets Fire can’t even cover material correctly. Sounding weak and devoid of the essence that the originals held, their two Coalesce covers are laughable.

Botch – We Are the Romans – Review

April 1, 2000

Noisecore doesn’t get any better than this. Not even Deadguy/Kiss It Goodbye stuff. Botch makes spazzing-out on record feel like a live show in your stereo.

Blindside – A Thought Crushed My Mind – Review

April 1, 2000

Learning brutality and catchiness from Entombed, Blindside and Selfmindead have given the American crazy-core that Coalesce helped invent a much-needed focus.

As Friends Rust – Review

April 1, 2000

It’s gotta be a Floridian thing. Raw emotions, HWM-esque melodies mixed with Dag Nasty style hardcore, and kick ass lyrics to match.

Ann Beretta – To All Our Fallen Heroes – Review

April 1, 2000

All of the gruff, none of the annoying snarl. Plus, they’re more melodic and willing to use different styles to get that country-music-desperation across.

Rainer Maria – Atlantic – Review

April 1, 2000

There is no doubt that Rainer Maria, with the sad demise of Jejune, is the leader in the new “emo rock fronted by female” category.
