Graveyard Rodeo - Sowing Discord in the Haunts of Man (1993: Century Media)

NOLA sludge hidden
by skatecore shouts, subpar skill;
aged like milk to boot.

Juliana's Pony - Total System Failure (2000: Zoe)

Alt-girl grown old, pissed
that life's silver spoon tarnished;
buzzing dark and bleak.

LeCompt - S/T (1992: Quarry)

Last gasps for Tangier
voice and cast-off Philly friends;
foot short of brass ring.

Peccatum - The Moribund People (2005: Mnemosyne Productions)

Whiplash tempo-style
swings stay gray in tone throughout;
EP length begs more.

Gilby Clarke - Swag (2002: Spitfire)

B-grade rocker gives
heartfelt effort to escape
GnR shadow.

Metalium - Grounded - Chapter Eight (2009: Massacre)

Slightly more subtle
Dream Evil - still lummox-dumb,
still forgettable.

Dream Evil - In the Night (2010: Century Media)

Power dudes push all
clichés full bore(d); a lyrical
abomination.
