Buried Alive – The Death of your Perfect World – Review

September 1, 1999

This record was written with one riff. A heavy riff, yes, but too much like Despair, Union, and all the other bands that members of Buried Alive used to be in.

Immolation – Failures for Gods – Review

September 1, 1999

You can always count on Immolation to deliver wretched, mutilated time signatures in the most unique fashion.

The Cost – Review

September 1, 1999

Weird, spastic noisecore interlaced with surf and Middle Eastern melodies here and there. There are a few surprises, though.

Hot Water Music – Leatherface – Review

September 1, 1999

The re-grouped Brits, led by Frankie Stubbs, kicks off with six hoarse-throated, emotionally-charged punk anthems, pumping as much soul as speed into the songs.

H2O – F.T.T.W. – Review

September 1, 1999

Sticking by their “unity” ideology, light-hearted melodic tendencies, and overall fun/energetic vibe, their records have been getting better and better.

Good Riddance – Operation Phoenix – Review

September 1, 1999

Despite my admiration for their work ethic, persistence, endurance, and outspoken philosophy, I just can’t get into their every-suburban town style of punk.

Fifteen – Lucky – Review

September 1, 1999

They speak in no-bullshit, clear-as-day verses about how we can help each other out, how justice should be served, and how one must utilize one’s voice.

Fastbreak – Whenever You’re Ready – Review

September 1, 1999

Big, classic rock-sounding drums with plenty of swinging mid-tempos, Whenever You’re Ready is as rock’n’roll as hardcore gets.

Farside – The Monroe Doctrine – Review

September 1, 1999

Not only can they play any style of music at any time, they mix up the categories well enough to produce solid songs in the process.

AFI – Black Sails in the Sunset – Review

September 1, 1999

No matter what musical genre you play, bad songs are bad songs. And here’s an album full of them.
