You see five scowling guys in black — one brandishing a bat — you think punks, right? Wrong.

Same old dog, no new tricks. And when I say old, I mean it.

Classic Album Review: Cut Chemist | The Audience’s Listening

“The DJ of the future is going to be a respected member of the community,” says a motivational speaker at the front of Cut Chemist’s latest. If he’s referring to himself, he’s too late. And overly modest.

Classic Album Review: Towers Of London | Blood Sweat & Towers

Maybe you remember Mötley Crüe covering Anarchy in the U.K. back in the ’90s. Or maybe you don’t — it wasn’t exactly a cultural milestone. Except, perhaps, to the boys of Towers Of London.

Classic Album Review: Pink Spiders | Teenage Graffiti

Every band’s gotta have an image. But some just don’t know when to quit.

Classic Album Review: The Kooks | Inside In / Inside Out

Kooks? Hardly. These playful Brighton lads are hardly the most eccentric band to come down the pike lately.

Classic Album Review: Lostprophets | Liberation Transmission

Lostprophets’ name might make you think they wanna preach to the masses, but trust me — the only prophets they’re interested in are the ones spelled with an F.

Classic Album Review: Graham Coxon | Love Travels At Illegal Speeds

No wonder guitarist Graham Coxon quit Blur. Dude was never quite in synch with his bandmates.

Classic Album Review: Divine Comedy | Victory For The Comic Muse

The title of The Divine Comedy’s ninth album Victory For The Comic Muse echoes that of their debut EP Fanfare For The Comic Muse. I don’t know if that’s supposed to mark an end or a new beginning — but it’s clearly no accident.

Classic Album Review: French Kicks | Two Thousand

This came out in 2006 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing): Two Thousand is a nice, round number. But things don’t quite add up that neatly on this third album from Brooklyn’s French Kicks. Oh, on the surface, this disc would seem to have everything these boys need to get past the velvet rope and into…

Classic Album Review: Muse | Black Holes And Revelations

For nearly a decade, people have been comparing these proggy Britrockers to a cross between Radiohead and Queen. This fourth album probably won’t put an end to that — but it might force people to add a few new names to that list.

Classic Album Review: Slayer | Christ Illusion

You gotta love Slayer. Or you gotta hate them. Those are the only two options. No middle ground. Either you would happily let them kill you to have sex with your corpse, or you want them banned, jailed and perhaps castrated so their genes cannot be passed on to future generations.

Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man Soundtrack

This came out in 2006 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing): This isn’t the first tribute album to Leonard Cohen. Not by a long shot. Hell, it isn’t even the first one to include Nick Cave and Bono. But Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man…

Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Fat Music Volume V: Live Fat, Die Young

Punk-rock compilations tend to be cost-conscious affairs for all concerned. The labels take some tracks off their recent releases, slap ’em together on a disc with no-frills packaging and sell ’em to the kids for half the price of a regular CD. The bands get exposure, the kids save money, the label sells CDs, everybody’s happy.

Classic Album Review: Roachpowder | Atomic Church

Their name comes from ’60s drug writer William Burroughs. Their approach comes from ’70s drug rockers Hawkwind, cut with some primo Black Sabbath sludge. Their sound comes straight from ’90s stoner-rock gods like Monster Magnet and Nebula. And they’ve gotta be the heaviest Chilean-Swedish-Canadian metal outfit in the world. All hail the dark lords of Roachpowder.

Classic Album Review: Sea of Green | Time to Fly

With some bands, you have to pay close attention to make sure you catch every bit of musical subtlety and lyrical nuance. Sea Of Green are not one of those bands.

Classic Album Review: Bad Astronaut | Acrophobe

They’re from the punky environs of Santa Barbara. They’re on a punk label. Their members have played in other punk bands — singer-guitarist Joey Cape and drummer Derrick Plourde are from Lagwagon, while bassist Marko 72 hails from The Swingin’ Utters. But make no mistake: Bad Astronaut are not a punk band.
