Label: 13th Planet Records Released: October 2, 2007 In their prime, Prong established a sound that was so unique and intense, that it’s influence can still be felt today. In doing so, they also set their own standard fairly high, making post-prime albums even more difficult for them. Power of the Damager won’t hold up to an album like Cleansing…. Read more »

“Into Your Dream” Check out the review of On the Wing Now.
Label: CD on Black Numbers Records and 7″ on Chunksaah Records Released: August 2007 Oddly enough, even hardcore can over think itself and often enough it ends up getting away from is visceral core as a result. That makes a band like Static Radio NJ refreshing. They aren’t rewriting the genre by any means, but they play straightforward East coast… Read more »
Label: Fantasy/Concord Music Group Released: October 2, 2007 While John Fogerty is not likely to ever match his output in Creedence Clearwater Revival, he still manages to release some very good solo material spaced out over a period of 30+ years. Revival, his latest offering often aims at Creedence and the protest climate of the 60s. The album kicks off… Read more »
Label: self-released (available through CD Baby and iTunes) Released: September 2007 The whole idea of rehashing the 80s never quite sat well with me. Now that it’s been redone to death by so many hipsters with more fashion-sense than creativity, I’m even less receptive. That being said, Brian Buta must be doing something right, because he is almost completely stuck… Read more »
Michael Graska was the first with the correct answer. Pink Floyd’s two complete soundtracks aside from The Wall are More (for the movie of the same name) and Obscured by Clouds (for the French film, La Vallee). Michael, I need your address to send the CD.
Label: Rhino Released: September 18, 2007 There are a few points in rock n roll time and space where everything just comes together and something new is born. Memphis in the mid-50s gave us rock n roll. New York in the mid-70s gave us punk. Seattle in the early 90s gave us grunge. All of these local scenes were the… Read more »
Label: Big Rack Records Released: July 24, 2007 Recording a whole album of Dylan covers is about as bad an idea as getting Ozzy to be a guest vocalist on your album. Leslie West makes both mistakes on Mountain’s latest album, Masters of War. The problem with this album is that West’s arrangements are dull, with little hint of Dylan… Read more »
Label: Retard Disco Released: June 26, 2007 If precision, refinement and crisp production are part of your idea of a great album, Killed ‘Em Deader ‘n a Six Card Poker Hand is probably not for you. However, if you like raw rock n roll energy, you’ve come to the right place. Epsilons aren’t just superficial garage rockers trying to stake… Read more »
