Review:
I first saw the video for Mia, and thought the visuals and the sound were very Tool-like. The whole album is certainly in that direction, although Chevelle has backed off that sound a bit. This CD was actually released on Squint Records, a short-lived Christian label.

Review:
I found out about this band simply because they opened for The Watchmen at Milestones, and I was quite impressed. This album is actually a compilation of the best of their four previous independent releases (which are damn near impossible to find). Very good melodic pop-rock.

Review:
After an excruciatingly-long pre-order period, I finally got my Cake CD in the mail! This collection is exactly what the title says, combining a bunch of songs off of various compilations, singles, and promo CD’s. I had a bunch of these, but not all of them. Some that I didn’t have are their cover of War Pigs (which shows up again as a hidden live track at the end of the CD), and a weird original song called Thrills. The three songs from the Pressure Chief Extra Value disc are here (Ruby, Strangers In The Night, and Conroy (albeit a remixed version)), Mahna Mahna, Multiply The Heartaches, an awesome take on Barry White’s Never Gonna Give You Up, and Excuse Me (I Think I’ve Got A Heartache). There’s also live versions of Short Skirt Long Jacket, and It’s Coming Down. And to top it all off’ a scratch and sniff album cover’!’! How cool is that’ In any event, definitely worth it if you’re a Cake fan! The only thing I wish would have been included would be A) the vocal version of Arco Arena, and B) Half As Much. Can’t have everything!

Review:
The Deftones’ bassist spoken-word poetry album. If it hadn’t been him, I wouldn’t have ever considered buying a poetry CD. I probably still won’t. I bought it at the Deftones show at Runwayz in 2000.

Review:
The second Spine album was all-new material, and was even better than the Monsoon compilation was. Unfortunately, like most quality rock, they hardly cracked the mainstream, and remained an underground band. Again, excellent pop-rock.
