Perry Ferrell – Rev – Review

April 1, 2000

I hate this guy. I hate him even more since I received this “career retrospective” thing, oddly enough billed as a Perry Farrell “solo record.”

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.

Robyn Hitchcock – Jewels for Sophia – Review

September 1, 1999

Lyrics junk and jumble up in a scrumptious, psychotic scrapple. If this smelled, it would be lady slipper, dissection preservative and Ho-Hos.

Static-X – Wisconsin Death Trip – Review

June 1, 1999

A pretty good new metal band with plenty of Korn, Sepultura, and just enough Goth metal extravagance/weirdness to attract tattooed and overly-pierced “freaks.”

Sense Field – Review

June 1, 1999

Where songs on Building were crammed with emotion, this new batch seem tired and stricken with ADD. Mid to slow tempos, accompanied by over-saturated guitars.

Skid Row – 40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row – Review

April 1, 1999

Gaunt – Bricks and Blackouts – Review

September 1, 1998

Gaunt is catchy like that, sorta Screeching Weasel catchy. Jerry Wick is a master at grafting a melodic punk rock riff on to an instantly singalongable lyric.

Elvis Costello – Extreme Honey – Review

April 1, 1998

Liberally samples the patchwork crazy quilt of records under WB’s tutelage, shows conclusively and inexpensively that EC in the ’90s is every bit the eccentric.
