Spit-shine and a Rooster

Mon, 4 Feb 2002 07:15:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Okay, Hi.

Not written in a while, whether that's a good thing or not I don't know, but I felt compelled to write about this CD after (just) buying it. With the riffs of Halloween Americana ringing in my ears I begin my journey back into...

"I'm a Reasonable Man, Get off My Case!"

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 09:21:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - As yet unreleased... Amnesiac is the latest studio album from Radiohead. From the same 18-month sessions that produced the masterpiece Kid A, does Amnesiac aim to settle the balance between those who love and those who hate...

Thundercats Exodus: Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats HO!

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 13:39:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Thundercats, the cult 1980's children's cartoon seems to have been forgotten now. Exodus is a full-length animated movie describing how the Thundercats ended up on Third-Earth.

The film starts by showing the...

"Kill me Sarah, kill me again with love..."

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 14:50:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Radiohead, one of the UK's biggest musical exports. Opinionated, political, talented are words that can me used to describe them.

7 Television Commercials is a collection of 7 (surprisingly) of their best and most successful...

Pump up the volume! What do you mean, it is up?

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 14:20:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Small speakers at a low price... Often that's a risk, you expect the sound to be awful. I'm suprised, still, 18 months later, with the nice sound I get out of my little Yamaha YST M7's.

Primarily, I'd say the YST M7 range is for...

eBay: Hip-hip eBay?

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 12:59:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - eBay, the online auction site. Whether it's the original auction site on the net, I don't know, nor care. All I know is that it's the most publicised and that I occasionally use it. Great for me, or is it?

Many of the users out there...

"I saw a river fall from heaven"

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 18:00:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - My first exposure to Cold was back in about 1998 when I heard Give. Then I found it inspiring. And now? I still find it inspiring.

Go Away, the CD's intro is a good old grunge-rock type affair. A nice, distorted guitar...

"In the end, it doesn't even matter"

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 08:46:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Linkin Park, the boyband of Rock? It's a commonly held opinion that rock music is devoid of singing ability, hence the shouting. Linkin Park take this theory by the throat, sing sweetly to it and throw it out the window.

The CD...

What's all this about God?

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 20:14:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Let's get things sorted. I'm not a Christian. I'm not a Satanist. In fact, I don't adhere myself to any kind of religion at all, I just like to listen to what others have to say and make my own mind up about it.

I approached The Satanic...

Zone Alarm: A free firewall that works?

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 13:10:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - It's a sad world when us home users need a firewall. We don't have that much interesting data but still we're at risk from Trojans, Hackers and DOS Attacks. Sitting behind a firewall seems to be the only way to feel safe nowadays...

Banged up but still pumpin'

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 12:41:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Being a lover of music, I always need it around me. Now, since getting my little Panasonic SL-S222 it's always there with me.

There's nothing better than walking down the street with a good Rock CD on. It moves your feet for you,...

Oh dear, Everclear!

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 08:06:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Everclear, fantastic band. Raw, real and earthy... or they were. It seems like they've hired an expensive producer to polish up the poorest of efforts on their part.

World of Noise had it right. Sparkle and Fade had it...

An unclouded taste of Belgium

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 07:47:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Being quite new to the taste of Wheat beers, Hoegaarden is relatively new to me. Recommended by a friend, I decided to sample this delight for myself. Half-expecting a Lager-type taste, I'm glad to say that I was disappointed!

The...

ICQ: IC-Poo.

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 16:48:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - It's been here for around 3 years and has seen many new features added. It's latest version, ICQ 2000b has a great deal, but are they useful and needed, or are they just going the Microsoft route and trying to be everything to everybody?...

Could we kill off Optimus Prime?

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 14:08:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Featuring Eric Idle, Orson Welles and Leonard Nimoy as the voices, Transformers are back!

For me, Transformers was always a classic part of my childhood. I had the toys, I watched the shows, I collected the stickers. Robots that...

All in for £15 ($20), worth the hassle?

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 12:09:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - AOL UK was the first ISP to offer unmetred access to the Internet without having to change your phone lines or company. But do the merits outweigh the annoyance?

The AOL 6.0 software is obviously geared up for use by beginners...

Easy, small, but essentially flawed

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 11:29:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - On upgrading from the Ericsson A1018s I was impressed. The phone was small, it had all the same features and then some more. I was happy. The screen is small, but not too small, I found the text to be easily readable and in an attractive font. I...

Inspired genius or self-indulgent tat?

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 09:04:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Radiohead. Fantastic band. Inspirational through the UK Indie scene in the early 90's. Hit gold with "The Bends" and "OK Computer", but have they got it with "Kid A"?

I feel lucky that I approached Kid A with an...

Microsystem, Maxisound!

Tue, 13 Mar 2001 12:06:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author downgraded - Originally I set out to buy a mid-range, low-cost microsystem due to my constricted budget. I originally had my sights set on the Sony CMT-CP11, small, sleek and sexy in looks and fantastic in it's sound. Checking the prices in all the stores I...
