Skinny Puppy
Album review by Trey on 2007-12-20

Skinny Puppy attempts to integrate their 'old school' influences with their current, modern direction and it winds up working pretty well.
Hooverphonic
Album review by Trey on 2007-12-11

Hooverphonic finally top their Sophomore album, and they do so without having to go back and steal ideas.
Moonspell
Album review by Trey on 2007-12-07

This re-recording proves what the few of us that have the original EP already knew… that “Under the Moonspell” would have been one of the strongest releases of Moonspell’s career if it wasn’t for the weak produ
Public Enemy
Album review by Trey on 2007-12-06

With this album they prove for the fourth time in a row why Public Enemy is as influential as they are both in and out of the Hip Hop community.
Nemesea
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-29

Forget about the gothic rock designation attached to this band. In Control is nothing less than emotional and catchy electronica-based pop with a slight metal edge.
Program 2
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-28

A Classic Trance album for the first four tracks, and a boring, average album thereafter.
Thought Industry
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-20

No Use for a Name
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-17

Twenty-two minutes of flawless Punk, with very little in the way of surprises... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Fates Warning
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-15

Fates Warning continue to change with every album, this time streamlining their sound and increasing their moody nature.
Lunik
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-14

Lunik's second album is still more Trip-Hop than Pop, allowing them to maintain their identity and not sound like one of the masses.
Abigail's Ghost
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-12

Is that Porcupine Tree I hear???
Bad Religion
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-09

Bad Religion's most diverse offering.
Agua de Annique
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-08

Anneke's debut solo album is not only a success, but also the best work she has ever been a part of.
The Future Sound of London
Album review by Trey on 2007-11-02

The Future Sound of London blow off mainstream success in favor of releasing a dark and unsettling album of ambient soundscapes.
Neurosis and Jarboe
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-25

Neurosis and Jarboe team up and create one of the more disturbing albums I've ever heard.
Killing Joke
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-22

One of many great works that included the bass playing of Paul Raven who died on October 20th, 2007.
Ulver
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-19

Ulver's excellent use of subtle melodies and restraint results in their best non-metal album of their career.
Graveworm
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-17

Graveworm's transitional album where they shed a lot of their classical influence and replace it with the more aggressive nature of later albums.
The Gathering
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-11

The Gathering's debut album... those looking to hear Anneke's voice need not apply.
Anacrusis
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-07

Anacrusis break from the thrash mold by adding more technicality to the music, as well as introducing a lot of moody elements to it and the lyrics, courtesy of their new found influence by The Cure.
Graveworm
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-05

Graveworm's finest hour. Classical instrumentation, mournful melodies, all wrapped in a goth/black metal atmosphere.
Die Krupps
Album review by Trey on 2007-10-03

Die Krupps ruin Metallica songs by disregarding the guitars entirely, instead opting for completely synth-driven versions.
Ministry
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-28

Ministry don't go out at the top of their game. Instead they prove beyond a doubt that they're running out of ideas, and it's time to quit.
Ulver
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-27

Ulver transition from metal to electronica on this release and despite a few hiccups are fairly successful at it.
Damn the Machine
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-25

Ex-Megadeth guitarist, Chris Poland, releases a very classy and restrained version of prog that should appeal to those that don't always need aggression in their music.
Josh Ritter
Album review by on 2007-09-20

Is it Bob Dylan? Is it Bruce Springsteen? No, it's .... Josh Ritter?
