Acceptance – Black Lines to Battlefields
Review — February 28, 2004
Living in the Seattle area, I hear a lot about certain bands that are a part of the Seattle music scene. I usually don't take a lot of the local hype too seriously, because a lot of the hype surrounding said bands comes straight from the fact that the band …
Jay-Z – The Black Album
Review — February 29, 2004
Oh, the farewell. There are two kinds of retirement in music. The first is the graceful bow out of the spotlight, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the artist, but always covers the band or artists's body of work in a veil of class and …
The Deathray Davies – Midnight At the Black Nail Polish Factory
Review — March 12, 2004
This Dallas based band made their own bed and now they have to lie in it. Their press releases and website state that their latest effort Midnight at the Black Nail Polish Factory sounds like: "The Pixies at their tightest and The Beach Boys at their loosest." We interrupt this …
Doomriders – Black Thunder
Review — August 29, 2005
Throughout the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Nazgul have their own musical score. The music that was written for them is dark and operatic; when you hear it, you anticipate awful things to happen. And yet, I feel the choice that was made just wasn't dramatic enough so …
Cave In – Perfect Pitch Black
Review — September 25, 2005
About a year and a half about I was fortunate enough to catch a Cave In performance at which they debuted a handful of new songs, many of which made their way onto this release. When they played these new songs, they were sprinkled about a set-list of recent songs …
Sunn 0))) – Black One
Review — October 30, 2005
This is the sound of being stalked by some unnamed horror that you are too afraid to turn around and see. The suspense builds and wanes and builds more to the harrowing climax leaving you with only the droning aftermath to contemplate that anxiety attack that you may have just …
Venom – Metal Black
Review — May 17, 2006
Anton LaVey, Richard Ramirez, and Phil Knight. Three famous individuals who, despite being all about the evil and doing their part to ensure eternal damnation, they still don't hold a black candle to three young boys from the north of England, who've done more for Satan's public relations than anyone …
Muse – Black Holes and Revelations
Review — July 13, 2006
If you asked me six years ago to name a band that at this time would seem about to take over the world I really don't think Muse would have even been in my top 50 choices. Then they had just released the very Radiohead sounding Showbiz and seemed almost …
My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade
Review — November 15, 2006
The first time I heard "Welcome to the Black Parade," the first single off of My Chemical Romance's new record, The Black Parade, I was certainly, for lack of eloquence, fucking confused. The intro was absurdly epic, a throwback to the simple "rock" music of the 70's, before kicking …
Boxcar Satan / The Graves Brothers Deluxe – Black Water Rising
Review — March 25, 2007
Charity records are always a tough breed to review; on the one hand you don't want to say anything bad because they are for a good cause and you have to respect that. On the other hand though, most are a big pile of shite that the majority of people …
The Hives – The Black and White Album
Review — November 27, 2007
You either like The Hives or you don't. Yes, it's that simple. The whole shtick, the outfits, the ego, be it embellished or not, the band formation at the behest of never-seen oft-mentioned mysterious "Randy Fitzsimmons." And, oh yeah, the music. It's all part and parcel of The Hives experience, …
Eskimo Joe – Black Fingernails, Red Wine
Review — December 16, 2007
"No one in our band is in it for their ego. It's all about the songs" The above is a quote from guitarist Stuart MacLeod and it summarizes Eskimo Joe in a nutshell. No pretension. No bullshit. No ridiculous grandiose prose-filled promo sheet. Just an album that that lets the …
Under Pressure – Black Bile
Review — December 18, 2007
Apparently, Under Pressure hails from Winnipeg, Canada - former home of the Jets hockey team before they became the Phoenix Coyotes. Black Bile is the latest release for the band following several seven inches, compilation appearances, splits, and full-lengths; an impressive amount of work since their formation in 2003. Still, …
Imani Coppola – The Black and White Album
Review — January 8, 2008
The lights, the sounds, the excitement If you've ever been to New York City, you know what I'm talking about. Regardless of the borough, walking around the city is exhilarating, bordering on overwhelming, keeping you hyper-vigilant for fear of missing something really, really cool. Imani Coppola sounds like New York. …
Brothers – Black Friday
Review — March 3, 2008
It is a shame when a band like Brothers goes unnoticed. This five-piece outfit hails from Michigan and Black Friday is their debut offering. The album is filled with eleven hardcore songs just begging for you to sing-along to. The opening combo of "Beginnings" and "The War at Home" kick …
Century – Black Ocean
Review — July 1, 2008
Thanks to the ever increasing popularity of whack bands like Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium, etc. among the metallically-naïve listeners out there, it seems that metalcore has taken the place of nu-metal as the classification that bands most want to avoid - although deathcore is aggressively seeking the title, as …
