Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

So confident and emotional that it stands a good chance of silencing most emo detractors.

There are those times when, within the first 30 seconds of listening to a new CD, you know you’re listening to something truly special.

Like so many things, brevity is the soul of this album. The amazing thing is just how vast that brevity sounds.

One wonders when Low will get trapped in their musical stylings.

A noisy space album filled with feedback, experimental reverb, eerie electronics, and soft vocals that should please any My Bloody Valentine fan.

A different kind of fourth dimensional indie rockiness.

Deep’s music was more accessible than that of any Bauhaus records, but it keeps the same quality that characterizes them.

The Billions can write indie-pop odes to unrequited love that know all of the right ways to tug at the heartstrings.

It’s a rare thing to find music that’s as delightfully mopey as this, without becoming overbearing and overwrought.

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of fascinating things wading through Jetenderpaul’s sonic collage.

What’s this, a light-hearted criminal caper from the master of heroic bloodshed?

More wire-enhanced kung fu frenzy with copious amounts of youthful hijinks.

If you’re a rabid Bruce Lee fan, then you might get a kick out of watching Sammo Hung parody and pay homage to your hero.

A confusing melange of story lines and silly characters that’s just too boring and contrived to be interesting.

I hear a band with the talent and skill to be more than what they are, but instead, settling for a sound that doesn’t do their lyrics justice.

This is a work of art of an artist whose creative spark doesn’t seem to sell out regardless of the circumstances.

Before the disc is even out of the case you expect to have your speakers blown to bits under a barrage of nose-bleed techno.

It’s not a dull listen, because one never knows just how a song is going to end up.

The territory that Jurado explores is not for those seeking easy answers wrapped up in pop melodies.

It’s most certainly a mind-blowing movie. But don’t consider that a blanket endorsement.
