The Stereo – New Tokyo is Calling – Review

September 1, 2000

I pray the rumors aren’t true: that The Stereo, one of the best power pop bands today, has called it quits on the eve of their tour for this new EP.

Jeff Buckley – Mystery White Boy – Review

Over 70 minutes of material from his only studio album, Grace, a few covers, and plenty of the angelic falsettos he’s known for.

Incantation – The Infernal Storm – Review

September 1, 2000

Gods Reflex – Scenes from a Motel Seduction – Review

September 1, 2000

Well-sung, clean-guitar-o-plenty emo with a pinch of rock. A lot of Midwest influence in the way the vocals grab you by the chest and rub onions in your eyes.

Ghoti Hook – Two Years to Never – Review

September 1, 2000

All of a sudden there’s a lot of sentimentality in power chords. The end product isn’t bad to listen to, but I don’t buy the transformation.
