Music Review: Bob Dylan’s Together Through Life
by Rick Rockwell Some of the most intriguing aspects of Bob Dylan’s latest studio release Together Through Life are the Latin-inspired arrangements laid over a bluesy foundation. At times this mix gives the work a cinematic feel. At other times, the simple results are the answer to the question: what if Dylan decided to dabble with conjunto . David Hidalgo, the leader of Los Lobos joins Dylan’s touring band and other key guests for this record and his presence spells all the differe

Music Review: The Informers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
In a world where Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, and American Psycho have been made into feature films of varying success, the pickings are slim for new movies based on the rather limited bibliography of author Bret Easton Ellis. Perhaps that explains the development of a Lunar Park movie and the upcoming release of The […]

Music Review: Karl Sanders - Saurian Exorcisms

April 27, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Music Reviews


A creepy, atmospheric piece of music from Nile’s Karl Sanders. With cavernous, swelling feeling and spine-chilling sonicscapes, Karl Sanders’ Saurian Exorcisms is a stunning piece of work. Many might know Sanders best as the founding member of Nile, a death metal band accented by Egyptian overtones. His rapid, skillful guitar work is the stuff of legends in the death metal world, with Sanders ranked…

Music Review: Testament - Live at Eindhoven ‘87
Testament live in their youth. In 1987 I was still in my musical infancy, listening to acts like Def Leppard, Poison, and Warrant. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I still like them and others of that era. All I am saying is that I had not made the jump to the heavier stuff yet, although my childhood best friend was into the more extreme acts of the day and I was…

Born to Lose – Sweet Misery (CD)
Born To Lose come to the table with their own brand of bouncy, quick, and poppy punk during “Not Alone”. This Austin, TX band comes out with tracks that skillfully blend bass, guitars, and a slightly-gritty set of vocals to make a timeless brand of punk rock. “Not Alone” reminds me a lot of early H2O, in the sense that both bands simply don’t give a shit about image or posturing, instead making some of the most catchy punk rock that this world has ever heard.Tracks go by quickly and continue to

Music Review: La Strada - La Strada EP (Blogcritics.org)
La Strada feels more like an orchestra than a band, joining the likes of Arcade Fire as indie pop darlings. Not to be confused with a reunion of the defunct 1980s new wave Serbian band, New York indie band La Strada is similar to the Zachary Francis Condon-led Beirut but with a more rustic folk mentality.I can’t imagine either the stress or the fun involved in collaborating with so many …
