Pennywise – Straight Ahead – Review

September 1, 1999

Since Pennywise take as kindly to progression as they do to corporate America, you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll be sounding this way for a long while.

Overthrow – React – Review

September 1, 1999

A 50/50 combo of H2O and Sick Of It All’s Scratch the Surface, Overthrow does that energetic hardcore thang pretty damn well.

Orange 9mm – Pretend I’m Human – Review

September 1, 1999

Obliterating any remnants of the old O9, this new full-length has the band continuing to shed their hardcore roots and taking on electronic ones.

Slipknot – Review

September 1, 1999

Hailing from Iowa the self-titled debut album from these masked freaks is not only the heaviest record this year, but one of the scariest as well.

Six Feet Under – Maximum Violence – Review

September 1, 1999

Maximum Violence is a livelier, meatier, and more interesting record than any of their previous work, but it still lacks true intelligence.

No Knife – Fire in the City of Automatons – Review

September 1, 1999

Fire in the City of Automatons is not only a whoopass of an album, it packs quite original soundscapes as well.

Ninety Pound Wuss – Short Hand Operation – Review

September 1, 1999

One minute it’s feedback and synthesizers, the next (by way of awkward transitions, most of the time) it’s Huntington Beach circa ’83, spiked mohawks and all.

Muse – Showbiz – Review

September 1, 1999

Unparalleled in its multi-dimensional brilliance: An album full of rippled horizons, maddening crescendos, overwhelming subtlety, and unworldly melodies.

Mr. Bungle – California – Review

September 1, 1999

Mr. Bungle’s new album is as joyful and picturesque as their last effort (1995’s Disco Volante) was hostile and disturbing.

Monstrosity – In Dark Purity – Review

September 1, 1999

More teeth-grinding, balls-to-the-wall technical death metal. These Floridian boys have finally snapped out of that “a new album every six years” thing.
