What Would Friday Be Without a Review of an Obscure and Terrible Nintendo 64 Sports Game?

While I’ve had success pooling all of my retro video game reviews into my classic video game reviews site (apparently, there are some people who’d prefer to read a review over watching one besides just me), I’ve still got a soft-spot for the first review site I set up, the Nintendo 64 Museum. I haven’t

Slick Shoes/Cooter — Split EP

6/10 One day in 2001, I thought, how can I get some more Slick Shoes? A visit to FYE answered that question. Apparently, the SoCal punk band had recently recorded a split EP with East Coast punk rockers, Cooter. There’s also a band in Mississippi called Cooter who did not enjoy sharing the name, and

Aftermath: The Brutal Battle Between Slick Shoes and Slipknot Comes to a Close

It’s over. It’s all over. Slick Shoes and Slipknot engaged in such vicious carnage against each other, scorching the earth, parching the seas, burning the sky, the world may never heal. But who cares about all that pinko crap? Let’s get to the important part: who won? Let’s compare scores for each band’s albums, and

Slipknot — .5: The Gray Chapter

8/10 In 2010, Slipknot’s bassist, Paul Gray, passed away. In 2013, their drummer became ill, and had to leave the band. In 2014, six years after their previous album, Slipknot released .5: The Gray Chapter. From a musical standpoint, it’s the band’s best work in a decade (which may be a bit of a dishonest

Slick Shoes — Far From Nowhere

7/10 Pop-punk…or punk that had catchy choruses and more songs about girls than rebellion, along with slickly-produced emo, hit some sort of commercial escalator in 2003. Really crappy bands like Good Charlotte suddenly saw their albums go triple-platinum, and their members inexplicably started dating or marrying models or A-list actresses. I don’t mean to knock

Slipknot — All Hope Is Gone

7/10 Sometimes an album full of great songs just can’t quite put the pieces together to make for a satisfying album. Slipknot’s fourth full-length foray, All Hope Is Gone, sees the band exploring some new textures, and more political lyrics. While the heavy moments dominate, the dark “Sulfur” has perhaps the strongest chorus hook the
