ORVALICIOUS!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 09:26:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - My God, what a tasty brew.

I've been living in France for almost a year by now, and one of the best parts of living in France is the fact that Belgium is so close. Close to Belgium means being so close to the most impressive collections of...

Uninspired, uninventive, unimpressive

Thu, 15 Mar 2001 14:15:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Godhead is like the majority of industri-pop albums I've bought or listened to in many years past. They're definitely one of the milder, easier-digestible versions versions of industri-pop, and remind me of a band that picked up where NIN's "Pretty Hate...

The "Fade" from a Better Album Is Starting...

Fri, 9 Feb 2001 07:50:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - It was "Santa Monica" that got me to check out Everclear. I picked up what is my second-favorite album, "Sparkle and Fade" and was hooked. I've bought every album by now including their latest, "Songs from an American Movie, Volume Two." And they're...

Incredible Experience, Pitiful Soundtrack

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:06:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Woodstock '99 was the focus of plenty of controversy and bad-mouthing. Woodstock '99 didn't deserve the bad-mouthing. The Woodstock '99 soundtrack DOES.

The concerts were incredible. Each artist- those I already liked (e.g. Godsmack,...

Excellent quality for reasonable price- focus on Olympus

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 07:45:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Digital cameras are very much like computers by now- wait six months and you brand new camera will be topped and out-featured by the new release. But much like my computer, I want something that works well, is dependable, and gives me what I need. In...

"YO! Turn dis ?*$@# UP!" (in a Rosie Perez accent)

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 11:15:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - I had written a critique of an offshoot to "MDMA" earlier this month, and though I gave as thorough an evaluation as I could muster, the hidden truth is that the unsaid, unrecommended album was NOT "MDMA." "MDMA" is everything you can hope for in a...

Killian's American VS. Killian's Irish- BOTH Winners

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 08:46:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - I often try to submit unbiased critiques for the products I discuss. But it's just not possible for me to do so with Killian's, so be forewarned that this is a critique of a biased Killian's fan. First, the origins of said fandom...

I've...

Repetitiveness be in da HOOOUSE!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 11:18:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - "Reddlite Continuous Mix" is a collection of house songs with a strong beat and plenty of dance capability. But it takes more than a constant beat to make a genuinely good house (or techno, or electronica, etc.) mix. I gotta put the red light on...

Truly Irresistible Audio-Bliss

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 13:56:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Nobody I know of has ever heard Soul Coughing for a first time and immediately said, "Wow, they’re my new favorite band!" They're too eclectic. Too different. Too far gone from the mainstream that most first-time listeners are more confused or...

A White Beer You Can't Discriminate

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 12:49:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - I'm a beer guy. More specifically, I'm an ale guy. But please keep in mind while reading this critique that I can't judge a beer by it's color, texture, complexity, elasticity, explosivity, or April-freshness any better than I can wines; I like good...

Monster Enjoyment from Monster Magnet

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 10:56:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Monster Magnet is a band finally getting some recognition that they've deserved for years, and "Dopes to Infinity" is a major stepping stone to said success. The songs are infectious to many genuine rock fans. But unlike many metal/rock bands that...

It's not an album... it's an experience.

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 12:41:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - If you've ever heard of Ween, it was probably from their later "hits" being "Push the Little Daisies," "Freedom of '76," or the more-recent "Voodoo Lady" and "Can't Put My Finger On It." Or perhaps you heard their amusing country song "Pis* Up a Rope"...

Disappointing Follow-Up to Kittie's "Spit" LP

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 12:44:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - I became a fan of Kittie after hearing their successful "Spit" LP. They're talented musicians and their songs have lyrics that imply their deeper than their ages may (as all four female members are teenagers). But their latest follow-up is almost a...

Bis Is Learning the "Pop Biz."

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 12:09:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Bis has improved since their semi-punk roots musically and compositionally. And their latest full-length release, "Social Dancing" has some infectous tunes that will have you dancing socially or otherwise. They're a long way from becoming a "modern...

Better Than Most- Trippy Fun for MM Fans

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 11:21:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - A couple of years ago, I started investigating these band-based, interactive software CDs and was almost always disappointed. But Monster Magnet's "I Talk To Planets" beat most of the competition just by installing and functioning correctly with no...

Diablo II As Great As the Original and Best Overall RPG

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 09:42:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adamldemarco - Very few video games have driven me to addiction; Diablo II is definitely the foremost.

Diablo II offers five different character types with very different character traits and accompanying strategies. Four major boards comprise the "world,"...
