Garlands
 great when wacked out: This disc is great when you're in the hospital being pumped full of drugs and not knowing if you'll make it through the afternoon. It kinda makes you realize that there are far worse places in the world than your own head. Hear [... more]

Glider (Ep)
Can't... stop... listening...: I missed out on My Bloody Valentine when they actually existed. I had a quite the virulent aversion to "wimpy college rock" around that time, and that was basically the only thing I knew about them, that they were [... more]

Isn't Anything
From Amazon.com: Three years before 1991's Loveless, My Bloody Valentine's masterwork of impossibly dense soundscapes, the Dublin quartet offered some fairly affecting dream pop on its first full-length album, Isn't Anything. Both worthy of Creation's & [... more]

This Is Our Music
Sheesh, why the venom?: I'll grant that the sound quality is pretty bad, and it's not their best album (that would be "On Fire"). But beating up this album seems kind of distasteful to me, sort of like beating up a beautiful, defenseless animal. [... more]

Roulette
The Cocteaus are history. Give them a chance!: It's hard to accept that the Cocteau Twins are gone forever, and one would come to expect that if Robin Guthrie did something new, they would never accept it. Violet Indiana teams Guthrie up with Siobhan de [... more]

Blind
From Amazon.com: For bands like the Sundays that put out albums very infrequently (only three in eight years), passing fads cannot exert undue influence; consistency is the key to staying power. Thank God the Sundays never went grunge. On this, their [... more]

23 (Digi)
