| Sonic Youth Dirty | 4.0 |
| Joe Satriani The Extremist | 2.5 |
| Catherine Wheel Ferment | 4.5 |
| L7 Bricks Are Heavy | 4.0 |
As with bands like Babes In Toyland and Hole, L7 managed to find success by adding in their female rage and angst into straight forward grunge music.
However unlike their peers they execute it with a more metal influenced sound and try to stear away from simple punk rock power chord progessions by adding in guitar solos and heavier metal guitar riffs.
Stand Out Tracks: Wargasm, Pretend We're Dead, Shitlist |
| Lush Spooky | 3.5 |
| The Offspring Ignition | 4.0 |
Although Offspring are often refered to as being pop punk they are much more than that. Although they do have the trademark pop punk attributes they sound much more grunge and metal influenced which, topped off with the catchy pop punk melodies, makes a great and interesting sound.
With Ignition, The Offspring have not reached their peak yet and still sound very new and amatuerish, although if anything that makes the album more pleasing since it has a raw edge to it which was lost on later albums.
Standout Tracks: Session, Dirty Magic |
