Nothing New From Anti-Flag... not that it's a Bad Thing.

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 16:57:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - After a lengthy search for Anti-Flag’s latest album, a follow-up of 2002’s Mobilize, I obtained their latest stab at American politics and policies, entitled The Terror State. Before I start the actual review, I want to mention something about the album’s...

Try My Choking Style! HUAH!

Tue, 18 Jun 2002 23:45:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - One day I was sitting in an online chat-room, when I randomly played an mp3 by the band Against All Authority. Another chatline netizen noticed my mp3 message, and said that if I enjoyed Against All Authority, I should check out Choking Victim. So, on...

A Game For The Ultra-Violent

Fri, 8 Mar 2002 18:53:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I was in a local Blockbuster Video store, looking for a new Playstation 2 game to rent. I was browsing the aisles, when I came across a game called State Of Emergency. It had a stereotypical fat latino gang member-type flashing a gang symbol on...

Short Music For Short Attention Spans

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 16:28:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Yes, I know that's the name of a previous Fat Wreck Chords compilation CD, but it just fits the topic, okay? Anyway, I got this CD back 3 years ago, and it's still a regular in my CD player.

This album is basically the biggest punk...

Wed, 6 Mar 2002 02:17:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I've been sitting on this review for a while. I've wanted to round off my Against All Authority reviews and finish off all of their major releases. So, here's my third AAA review installment: Against All Authority's second album All Fall Down

Let's Hope The Party Never Ends

Mon, 18 Feb 2002 22:19:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I first saw Subb at a The Vandals show a few years ago, when they played alongside The Vandals with Reset and Men O Steel. I hadn't heard of them before that, and when I saw them play, I was mildly impressed. They were a reasonably good ska band, with a...

Monster.com: Canada Needs Monsters, Too!

Thu, 14 Feb 2002 22:35:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Parting farewell to my schoolyard chums, I graduated high school merely weeks ago. And, being the tyrannical nazis that they are, my parents immediately imposed a bi-weekly rent notice. Realizing that I couldn't pay my rent with the meager pay I get at...

Believing the Process

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 23:59:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Bad Religion is probably one of the most widely known and respected punk bands known. Keeping a steady fanbase after more than 15 years, and more than a dozen releases under their belt, they're still going strong. They're commonly a staple band when...

I Can't Think of a Clever Title Right Now. Dairy Queen Sucks.

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 22:29:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Recently, a McDonald's Quick X-Press had relocated, which left a vacancy in a small plaza near my house. I was hoping for an independent restaurant or music store to replace it, but, instead, it was filled with yet another franchise. It was... yes, a...

My Experience as a SimGod

Sun, 20 Jan 2002 17:44:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Yes, I know The Sims has been out for some time now, but that's besides the point. I remember getting it when it first came out (totally legally, mind you, *ahem*), and I was pretty impressed with it. But how could I not be? This is Maxis we're...

Alrighty Then!

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 00:56:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I first got this book for my dad for Christmas two years ago. When he finished it the same day as he opened it, it ended up on my bookshelf. So, having read all of my books (which is primarily 80% Star Wars novels for some reason), I picked it up...

Area Book Absolutely Hilarious

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 23:06:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I got Dispatches from the Tenth Circle for Christmas. I originally asked for a Red Meat comic strip book, but my parents deemed it "offensive", although I don't know why. Maybe it's Milkman Dan, the sadistic dairy delivery man who frequently runs over...

Donuts!

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 22:20:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Now, let me get this out in the open before we start. I don't drink coffee. Never have, never will. And, since Tim Horton's chief product is coffee, I'll be neglecting a huge part of what Timmy's really is. But, that's the cuts. So, on to the review!...

CKY2K is totally un-haggard.

Tue, 18 Dec 2001 19:23:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I first heard of CKY (Camp Kill Yourself) when my friend brought in CKY2K to the class on "movie day". None of us knew what it was, so he was able to successfully dupe the teacher into letting us watch it. As soon as I saw Bam Margera, the star and...

Places You'll Probably be Able to Catch a Punk Show

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 16:18:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Since I've lived in Mississauga all my life, I've of course travelled to Toronto a great deal. Mississauga is adjacent from Toronto, and I could probably see the CN Tower if I lived in an apartment. And, thankfully, Toronto has one of the biggest punk...

I Just Wanna Skate...

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 23:57:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Ah, I remember the first time I played Tony Hawk for Playstation 1. I don't know if it was the incredibly fun gameplay or the all-punk rock soundtrack, but it captivated me for months on end.

And now Tony Hawk Pro Skater's third installment...

The best way to spend six dollars ISN'T THIS.

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 22:17:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I was at a local music store, browsing through the bargain bin of VHS movies, with a hankerin' for a bad movie. And, Stephen King being the king of bad movies, Maximum Overdrive immidiately caught my attention. I mean, who wouldn't be enticed by the...

The Definition of Destruction

Wed, 12 Dec 2001 03:09:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - Just like LessThanNick's review, I hadn't heard Suicide Machines until their song "New Girl" appeared in Tony Hawk's Playstation game. Even then, I thought they were Rancid (but a quick reference to the credits proved me wrong). Although New Girl did, as...

After The Eulogy Lives On

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 02:49:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - The first time I heard Boy Sets Fire was when I saw them live with Snapcase (read my article on the concert!). To say the least, I was IMPRESSED. They really got the crowd moving. Boy Sets Fire manages to mix angry hardcore with melody perfectly.

Playstation 2 just got a little bit more twisted.

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 05:55:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - When I first got my Playstation back in the day, it came with 4 games. Twisted Metal was one of them. I instantly fell in love. Then Twisted Metal 2 came out, and my love for the Metal series turned into an obsession, full of stalking and cooked rabbits...

Spooky!

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 01:42:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I am the proud owner of two of the limited 1000 copies of the orange vinyl versions of this. That's right, sucker! Anyways, it's hard to write about All Hallows EP because AFI did such a good job at capturing the surreality of Halloween. Each song has a...

The Hand May LOOK Fake...

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 05:12:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - When I walked out a Music World in my local mall, proudly displaying my new purchase, Plastic Surgery Disasters by the Dead Kennedys, my mom took one look at it and gave me this unforgettable look. You know, THE LOOK. From that moment on, I knew I would...

He Aint Garfield

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 19:04:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I remember reading my father's Bloom County comics when I was younger. Then, I loved it because of Opus's innocence, Bill's vulgarity, and the purple Snorkelwacker in Binkley's closet. I didn't understand the strong political presence, or some of the...

Half-Life For Windows, Mac: What Online Gaming Should Be

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 05:19:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - After abandoning the massively popular online game Quake Team Fortress (or TF for short) due to online idiots and cheaters, I was in the market for a new game. Someone recommended Counter-Strike, so I borrowed my friend's Half-Life CD and tried it. At...

24 Hour Roadside Resistance... AGAINST YOU!

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:47:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MR_SaturN - I love Against All Authority. It was a Hopeless Records comp called "Hopelessly Devoted to You Too" that got me into them. Two years later, I see this CD in a store downtown for ten dollars, so I grab it.

At first, I was...
