Lives' "Secret" Jewel

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 03:55:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - In 1994, Live broke into the post-grudge alternative rock scene with a crash as strong as lightening... or at least a song so entitled. "Lightening Crashes" was the band's mega-hit off of the bands second album, Throwing Copper, that lead to...

Fuel Shows True Potential in Sophomore Release

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 07:07:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Hardhitting, dramatic, melodic, sometimes mundane, but with glimpses of lyrical and musical genius, are just a few ways to describe Fuel's sophomore attempt; Something Like Human. I would love to say that this CD is incredible because I think that Fuel...

Our Lady Peace: Spiritual Machines: Our Lady Peace rocks again

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 06:35:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Machines are taking over the world. Well, at least that's what Our Lady Peace seems to think in their new album Spiritual Machines. (Note; the album was released in Canada in Dec. It won't be available in the USA until March.)

Please shoot Kid A

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 05:08:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Thom Yorke has a pretty damn good voice. However, in Radiohead's latest release, "Kid A," he hardly uses it. Instead, it is muffled over by keyboards, off-key trumpets, and random computer generated noises. For some reason still unknown to me,...

X-Men: An all around GREAT movie

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 03:04:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - X-Men was without a doubt the best movie I have seen all summer, and it takes quite a bit to get that kind of proclamation out of me. Unlike Scary Movie, X-Men met and went above and beyond my great expectations.

The characterization the actors...

A Perfect CD from A Perfect Circle

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 17:59:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - I was never a big Tool fan. I don't know what it was about the band, but they never struck a cord with me. So when I attended a "Nine Inch Nails" concert and heard that "A Perfect Circle" was opening, I didn't really pay attention to...

"Scary Movie" - Big let down

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 03:42:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - I think I went into this movie expecting way to much.

"Scary Movie," this summer's version of "American Pie," and "There's Something About Mary," is just like all the rest. It is made to appeal to teenagers with it's...

Calm down Kittie

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 18:47:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - With their first single "Brackish" the Canadian quartet known as Kittie, pounced on audiences with razor sharp claws and a hard rock bite that would leave a scar not easily forgotten. These girls will without a doubt catch your attention with...

How to be shallow 101

Sun, 7 May 2000 21:01:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - "Jump is for girls who dare to be real."

Give me a break. Please tell me none of you people actually buy into this propaganda of trash. "Jump" is no different from any other mundane teeni-bopper magazine out there. They are all...

AOL Instant Messenger: AIM: The only chat service you need

Sun, 7 May 2000 20:30:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - If you love the instant messenger service AOL provides, but don't feel like paying the expensive prices for the service itself, all you have to do is download AIM and you have the best part about the AOL service without paying for it.

Forget ICQ,...

Expand your mind and view point with Dogma

Sun, 7 May 2000 16:27:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - When this movie first came out in the theaters, it wasn't playing in the county I lived in, or the county next to it because of the over abundance of Catholics. The Catholic Standard called Dogma "highly offensive" deterring it from all who...

Live: Going The Distance on TOUR

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:29:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Having already written a review on Live's new album The Distance To Here, praising them yet again for producing another masterpiece, I figured, why not further promote the band by writing about their concerts as well?

I attended my first Live...

Cure (The): The Only "Cure" You'll Need

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:01:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - I was never a big fan of The Cure. There was no specific reason why, I just never latched onto their music. I never found myself identifying with their sound. So, when my boyfriend sat me down and made me listen to their new album...

Live Goes "The Distance" with new release

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 19:27:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Ed Kowalczyk is a happy guy. And why shouldn't he be? After all, his band Live has two multi-platinum albums under its belt. On that fact alone, one would assume his life is golden, and that assumption would be completely correct.

"We've...

The Grammys: The Epitome of the decline of music

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 23:55:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - When I think of award ceremonies like the Grammy Awards, I always thought that it was a place where overlooked bands might find refuge. It was here that artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Live and Fiona Apple could be appreciated for their musical merit...

Rounders: Uneventful and predictable

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 17:46:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - My boyfriend insisted that I watch this movie because according to him, it was "the best movie in the world." He was wrong. I found Rounders to be quite pointless, predictable, uneventful with very little suspense.

Basically, this...

"Boiler Room" in a word: Unclear

Sat, 19 Feb 2000 16:13:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - I swear you have to be a stock broker to understand this movie. There are times where people are spouting off stock broker jargon 300 miles a minute and all you can do is sit there and go, "Huh?"

I gave up on trying to understand...

The Good, the Bad, and The Beach

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:21:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - I went into the movie theater to see The Beach with a bad impression in my head. Two of my friends had just seen it the night before and were not impressed. I tried not to let their opinions affect me, and sat down in my seat looking for a fun adventure...

eMpTyV: Programing for the mindless

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 01:12:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Once upon a time MTV was a cutting edge station that inspired young viewers with its honest music, risky videos, and political awareness. Once upon a time MTV gave teens something real to strive for, keeping them informed on the world surrounding them,...

M2 should be the only MTV there is

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:36:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - In my mind, MTV doesn't exist. How can a music channel exist if it doesn't play music? That's what so great about M2, that's all they do, play music videos. There aren't 15 minute comerical breaks, there aren't any god aweful game shows, there aren't any...

The Bible: The Word of a made-up God

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 22:07:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - The Holy Bible is the greatest epic story ever written in the history of literature. I don't think anyone can argue with that. But let me re-emphasize a word that you might have looked over: "story." Yes, that's right, I called the Bible a...

Finding "Happiness" In Our Lady Peace

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 21:24:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - This album was dissed, no doubt about that. Critics took it, "listened" to it, diced it up into little pieces and tossed it in the trash without even a second thought. "Happiness Is Not A Fish You Can Catch" came out in July of 99...

ICQ: ICQ: (Freaks Seek You)

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 20:56:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - Would you like to be harassed by men twice your age requesting cyber sex? Would you like to have people message you with annoying things such as, "hihihihihihi!" and "I'm feeling rrrrrrannndy todayyyy, arrre youuuu?"

Third Eye Blind: Third Eye Blind: "Blue" No More

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:53:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author throwingcopper - In 1998, I was sitting in Copperstown, NY watching MTV in my hotel room, when "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind came on the screen. It was an interesting little song, nothing to rave over, but very catchy. "10 bucks says you'll...
