Mindless
Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy
Elektra
This album is like
a chemistry experiment that went haywire. Mix a bunch of elements together
that you shouldn't and it blows up in your face. That's why this
works. It's a mix of high-energy post hip-hop, industrial, electronica
and punk with the lyrical equivalent of the Jerky Boys. Most pure rock
fans won' t get it, they are too set in their ways. If you can open up
your mind and experience this music, it's like nothing you ever heard before.
Frankenstein Girls is a fun filled romp with foul language, sex and "oh,
not even serious lyrics". If you want some nasty entertainment and
aren't listening for grunge filled power chords, MSI is just what the doctor
ordered.
MSI makes their contemporaries
like The Bloodhound Gang seem like lightweights with 30 tracks of pure
musical excess dripping with sarcasm and sexual innuendo. You know - all
the good stuff!
Say what? Yo, Frankenstein
Girls is an exciting pastime for the entire family. Play it for grandma,
it's sure to send her weak heart into spasms. We know you love granny,
but think of the inheritance!
The listener
must be warned, if you are politically correct, anal retentive, or just
simply a humorless s*** head, DO NOT LISTEN! If on the other hand, you
are looking for the musical equivalent of the Jerky Boys meets James Brown
jamming with the Sex Pistols and Eminem, Mindless Self Indulgence will
help you to waste hours of quality time in humorous bliss!
- Freak
P.S. Look for a full
blown special on this group from yours truly! Stay Freaky!

3 Doors
Down - Better Life
Universal
Records
Rock returns! If
you haven't been living under a rock for the past month then you are sure
to have heard, "Kryptonite", the hit single from 3 Doors Down. There
is a reason this song is played 24/7 on rock and alternative radio - it
ROCKS! We are pleased to let you know that the rest of the CD is
equally as good. The new rock classics like "Loser", "Be Like That", "Not
Enough", "Smack" and the title track, make this the must have album of
the year for rock and modern rock enthusiast. You may not have a better
life as a result of buying the album, but you will have better music!

Britney
Spears - Oops!...I Did It Again
Jive
Oops!...I Did It
Again, she sure did. In what is basically a rehashing of her debut, "Baby
One More Time", this teen vixen reached no new ground and still can't be
taken all that seriously. I guess I am just too old to appreciate this
stuff. It's either that or I have been around long enough to tell the serious
music personalities from the shallow ones.
From the title track
to the horrible remake of the Rolling Stones classic, "Satisfaction", it's
hard to take Ms. Spears seriously. Britney may grow up and become a real
contender, but it won't be with this album.

Bad
Religion - New America
Atlantic
Bad Religion returns
with a bit more melodic infused post punk sound. No these guys didn't sell
out, it's still Bad Religion. They just expanded their sound a tiny little
bit from their last release, "No Substance". If you liked "Shades of Truth"
and "All Fantastic Images" from the last album, you will feel right at
home with New America.
The song "A Long
Way to the Promised Land" is a sure crossover hit as well as "New America",
"Let it Burn", and "A World Without Melody". The overall sound is classic
Bad Religion with a bit of the popish sound of latter day Redd Kross thrown
in the mix. 13 solid tracks make up "New America", there is not a
clunker in the bunch. So forget those pretenders Blink-182 and get the
real deal!

Departure
Lounge - Out of Here.
Flydaddy
Records
This band is interesting
in it's heavy 60's pop influence. That influence shines loud and clear
on the album. Drawing more from bands like the Animals and The Byrds than
the Fab Four, Departure Lounge creates a modern rock classic with their
U.S. debut. Fans of the Smashing Pumpkins, and the softer side of Bush
or Beck should feel right at home with this band as well. The tracks that
stand out the most are the emotional ballad, "Stay on The Line" and the
psychedelic remake of the Tracey Ullman hit "They Don't Know".

Primal
Scream: XTRMNTR
ASTRALWERKS
Primal Scream is
an interesting band that creates heavy pop mixed with metal, alternative,
with a bit of punk and a large dose of industrial. The closest comparison
to another band would be Nine Inch Nails. From the eccentric album opener,
"Kill all Hippies" to tracks like" Exterminator", "Swastika Eyes", and
"MBV Arkestra (If They Move Kill 'Em)" , all make this album a compelling
purchase. The lyrical content alone with its strange political manifesto's
to its social commentary may excite the imagination of some listeners.
Others may just dig the sounds, man. Never the less, XTRMNTR is one
of the most interesting new releases of 2000.
