Music Reviews
Reviews by Dustin Jones on classic and new albums varying artists and styles. All reviews come with full song previews from the album.
Mr. Bungle – California
I just love Mike Patton. Mr. Bungle is a personal favorite.
Bad Acid Trip – Lynch the Weirdo
Singlehandedly, the best opening act I’ve ever seen–And probably ever will.
Jimi Hendrix – First Rays of the New Rising Sun
Growing up, Jimi Hendrix was my favorite black man. In fact, he still is.
Shadow Project – Dreams for the Dying
I remember being depressed for no reason and wearing a lot of black. I suppose I still wear a vast amount of black, but now I have reasons to be depressed.
Shellac – 1000 Hurts
Retarded music is the best. What most people do not realize is how fucking hard it is to make truly retarded music.
Richard Cheese – I’d Like a Virgin
Fuck was it hard to pick out only one album to exploit by this guy. He’s so fantastic and fucking classy.
The Creatures – Wild Things
The Creatures are the core of Siouxsie and the Banshees: Budgie and Siouxsie.
Revolting Cocks – Beers, Steers & Queers
Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Chris Connelly and a ton of other band members have cycled through RevCo. This makes them neat.
Laibach – Jesus Christ Superstars
It’s fairly apparent by now that I have a penchant for industrial music, so here’s a staple: Slovenian industrial maniacs.
Rigor Mortis – Self Titled
I love it when my favorite bands get together and record stuff. It’s even cooler when these members were all in a band before they shaped my favorite bands.
Gorgeous Frankenstein – Self Titled
Do you remember The Misfits? This is a not-so-tacky version of the new Misfits, but cheesy nonetheless.
William Shatner – Has Been
Olde Bill Shatner sure is a legend. This album is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Tomahawk – Tomahawk
So combine Faith No More, Helmet, Melvins & The Jesus Lizard. Now do some peyote. You get Tomahawk!
Skinny Puppy – Greater Wrong of the Right (Live DVD)
This is a pretty cool live DVD. Cool enough for me to conceive my second child to. Well, that and a bottle of gin.
Queens of the Stone Age – Era Vulgaris
Most bands end up being mediocre in their latter days if they have a specific, unique style. Amazingly, QotSA has not succumbed to the statistics.
Alec Empire – Futurist
This guy is way too overlooked. Do you even know who he is? Probably not, ingrate. He’s the founder of Atari Teenage Riot.
Faith No More – Songs to Make Love To
Here’s a rare catch. Songs to Make Love To embodies almost everything sexy about Faith No More. This is the EP in its entirety.
Murder City Devils – Thelema
Spenser’s a fucking drunk. But it sounds so good. It seems to have come into its own with Thelema, then they broke up. What the fuck?
KMFDM – Adios
Keeping with their old hat trick of the five letter word titles, Adios was supposed to be their last album.
