Made Out of Babies - “The Ruiner” [The End] … noisy and angular, melodic and dissonant, modern yet primal, beautiful yet terrifying … an examination of Homo Sapiens, further exemplified by the album art, featuring exhibits from The Museum of Natural History juxtaposed with shots from the Air & Space Museum … as abrasive and acerbic as anything by the Melvins or Jesus Lizard, made more incendiary by vocal phenom Julie Christmas, whose delicacy and ferocity will astonish you … a Best of 2008 pick! FCC OK … Try *1*, 2, 3, 4, 8 … 2008Jun24

Rating: 3/5 … "Vermin To The Earth" doesn't have much lasting appeal, even though many of the songs are actually pretty good. It all boils...

All the Better to Review You With, My Dears
A couple of weeks ago, I read a tandem review by Jeanne Fury in Decibel that covered Like Wolves and Wolves Like Us. I thought it was a cool idea, and...
