The Album Leaf – In A Safe Place – Review

January 24, 2005

Hired hands from Sigur Ros, Múm, and The Black Heart Procession help Jimmy Lavelle create his best work, and one of this year’s most devastating records.

Sparta – Porcelain – Review

Megadeth – Rust in Peace – Review

December 21, 2004

Lunging with ferocity and desperation, Mustaine, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza, layed to waste the aural battlefield with beautifully choreographed carnage.
