Great album, although not quite their best work to date

Thu, 21 Mar 2002 15:09:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - Here Comes the Zoo is Local H's fourth full-length release and the first in about four years. A delay like that can seem like an eternity in the world of rock-and-roll, especially when you consider the way musical styles (and entire careers) come...

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 14:07:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - I decided to write this review after reading about the negative experiences with BMG that some other reviewers have had. I thought it might help to provide some information about what to expect from this and other CD clubs, as well as what to avoid and...

Abercrombie & Fitch Online Store: Trendy, but efficient and professional

Sun, 3 Mar 2002 12:32:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - I've ordered clothing and accessories from A&F's website four or five times. Each order was delivered quickly -- sometimes faster than promised -- with excellent packaging and 100% accuracy. I have used the site as a resource only when I was unable to...

The best and brightest of the skate mags

Sat, 2 Mar 2002 21:59:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - Let me come right out and say that I consider Skateboarder to be the best of the current crop of magazines devoted to the sport. I also want to mention that it is now a monthly.

Some quick background on me -- I am an adult volunteer...

The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs: 2002: Not perfect, but certainly the best classical guide available

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 10:42:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - The current edition of this ongoing series now runs at some 1600 pages. Compared to earlier volumes the typeface is a bit smaller and the pages are somewhat thinner, but once again the editors manage to cram in even more material than you might expect...

Deep Discount DVD Online Store: Great prices, with free shipping if you don't mind waiting

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 17:50:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - I have ordered several DVDs from Deep Discount. Their prices are always better than any other merchant, sometimes significantly so. Add their free shipping option to that and you have an unbeatable combination -- well, almost unbeatable. The free...

Demonstration-class game for PS2, but the cut-scenes....

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 15:54:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - I will be brief and to the point. Soul Reaver 2 is a beautifully rendered game that has it all: graphics, good controls, great sound and voice acting from some first-rate talent. This is a perfect game for when you want to demonstrate the advantages of...

Truly HD-ready, folks - hence the price

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 15:10:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - The questions about why this TV is so expensive when compared to the Sony flat-screens that cost more than $1000 less can be answered simply: this TV is truly HD-ready. The problem with HDTV right now is that the FCC has not decided upon a standard, so...

Great "starter" set for thermal carafe coffee-making

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 15:05:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ratwood - This is a very nice coffee-maker. The coffee comes out very hot and with a great brew. My previous coffee-maker (Braun) had been a drip style with cone filter, and I'd decant the coffee into a separate thermal carafe immediately after brewing. As a...
