the panic was lost in a deep understanding

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:49:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Against Me! is a band some people do not, don’t want to, and will never understand. Their style of punk rock is passionate, fast, witty, political, and absolutely without production. Okay, fine, As the Eternal Cowboy was produced by one Rob Mcgregor,...

steal the glamour from death

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:31:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Run in the right circles (or, to look back, the wrong), and you'll find that AFI is a dirty word. One not to be spoken aloud. The elitist punk rock, hypocrites who have every release before Sing the Sorrow and refuse to acknowledge the existence of the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Over the years, The Cure have had their ups and downs. Not just in sales or releases, but in the mood of album as well. A good example of "up" would be 1979's Three Imaginary Boys (released in '80 under the American title of Boys Don't Cry), where...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - It took a long time, but my roommate eventually convinced me to actually listen to our pathetic little rock radio station on Sunday nights, when MuchMusic's George Strombolopolous hosts the walking beer advert of an underground and unremembered...

Fri, 6 Jun 2003 16:31:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Ah, the beloved world of guilty pleasures... I'm probably one of the guiltiest people on the face of the planet, and I'm quite heavily aware of this guilt. From '80s kid movies to cookie cutter teen angst novels by L.J. Smith to comps put out by...

you opened my eyes today

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 04:50:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - I’m going to assume that, since this is the more expensive of the two versions of the CD available through Epinions (neither of which have any info on them! Grr.), that this is the limited DVD edition.

From this assumption, I now begin...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Oh, Cleopatra Records, how I love thee. You bring me all these doomy, gothy comps, and charge me absolutely no money for them!

i'm screaming for attention

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 20:22:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Why am I even writing this review?

Oh yeah, I got the CD by accident, and I figured I may as well give my opinion out there. To let off a bit of steam, rant a bit, to get back on my reviewing feet (in case anyone noticed I went...

come feel my terror or watch the anger rise in me

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 17:34:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Darkwave.

A genre within a genre or without a genre? It really is hard to tell, when it comes to particulars in the "goth" world, because everyone's busy dodging that title as fast as they can go. It was damning at the beginning of the...

no, it's not all right

Sun, 1 Jun 2003 23:09:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Maybe I should start this by saying I just don't do metal? Because I don't. It's not that I haven't tried. I've given hours of my time to try to understand Pantera, Slayer, Korn, Sepultura, Coal Chamber, and I still have brief flirtations with early...

Fri, 23 May 2003 04:24:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Bif Naked is a Canadian treasure.

The funny thing is, she's not even originally from Canada.

Born in India to a Brit and a Canuck (okay, so she's half Canadian) who put her up for adoption. An American family took her in, and they...

Thu, 22 May 2003 15:50:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anvrill - Ah, Dancing Ferret Discs... What a label. What a (tiny) label. Based in Philly, with a gothed out ferret as their mascot (with a clove cigarette, to boot). Almost all their CDs have advertisement under the CD itself, in a quest for money that cannot be...
