90s Album Reviews

We hook up with Edsel's former singer & guitarist Sohrab Habibion, currently wielding his axe in Obits to revisit the album Detroit Folly.

Their combination of metal, progressive rock and shoegaze with a space and science lyrical bent makes comparisons difficult,

Are they punk, post-punk, pop, alternative? And why did we gravitate towards the lyrics? We revisit the 1996 album by Tuscaderoo.

From Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the same scene that produced Archers of Loaf, Polvo and Superchunk.

Dive into the legendary 1986 release Deep Six, a compilation of six seminal Seattle bands that shaped the sound known as grunge.

The Wendys were a part of the early 90s Madchester scene, but do The Wendys stack up to those legendary bands?

Featuring former members of Sponge, Hoarse takes a decidedly different approach, drawing on punk, power pop and even a little pop metal.

J Robbins may be better known for his years in Jawbox, but is it possible Mission: Control! is his best work?

The award-winning three-piece is still going strong today, but we travel back in time to review their debut release.

Lots of tags are applied to Shiner - progressive, emo, alternative, math rock, space rock - but all that really matters is the songs.

We kick off season two with disagreement over the lone album by Fossil, their 1995 self-titled release.

A sprawling 19-track album presents many challenges - can The Wrens maintain quality from start to finish on Secaucus?

Like some sort of robotic transforming thing, there's more than meets the eye, or ear, when it comes to Corrosion of Conformity

Combine a frantic rhythm section with complex guitars lines and vocal gymnastics, and you've scratched the surface of ATDI.

When you combine the talents of Jason Falkner and Jon Brion into one band, you'd expect something special on The Grays lone album

We try to determine if Weasels is the sound of '90s - a little punk, a little grunge, some melody and edginess, but pretty much just rock

With bombastic guitars and the distinctive vocals of John Reis, it's hard to pinpoint the influences and origins of RFTC.

Velvet Crush were made for fans of '60s pop like The Byrds, the '70s power pop of Cheap Trick and '90s alt rockers like Teenage Fanclub

This band took a long journey from SoCal to NYC to the UK, and it sounds like it.

There's no doubt that lead singer Myles Kennedy, like Matthew Bellamy of Muse or Jimmy Gnecco of Ours, owes a lot to Jeff Buckley

Are they punk? Are the emo? Are they pre-emo? Are they post-punk?

Gimmick by Barkmarket - It's noisy, loud, abrasive, aggressive, unrelenting and pretty damn good.

The varied styles of Uncle Tupelo's co-lead singers/songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar helped define Alt-Country and create a classic

The unique combination of funk, metal, world music, and grunge collide to uneven results from ex-Jane's Addiction members on Porno for Pyros

An album Tim and J both discovered back in 2000, but are happy to revisit and spread the word about Mink.

Phaseshifter is a criminally overlooked album ripe for rediscovery for people who dig the power pop of Cheap Trick and Big Star
