Nuclear Rabbit - Intestinal Fortitude [Beach recordings]
This is prob. on of the most hardest albums to review. After their first album "Vicuna" it took 5 years for Nuclear Rabbit to write songs and make an awesome 2nd album. It's a lot better than "Vicuna" the changes within the music got more subtle. All of the control their instruments better. The music itself still tells an isolated story. The booklet contains some cool artwork, about nuked rabbits or some drawing about a certain song. From those 12 songs it's really hard to pick two songs which are my fav. songs. The best combinations made out music, humor and everything else are "My Girls Got Guts " and "5th Grade Alchemy ". For more info and soundclips go to www.nuclearrabbit.com

System Of A Down - s/t
I've got this album on tape, Thanx to Stella who got me into them, and soon on CD. If you asked me in October what I thought about this album you probably would hear something in the likes of: System Of A Down makes some bad ass music. The lyrics are political about religion and wars, due to their Armenian origin, which also influenced the way of making music. Now they also hit me more on an emotional, personal, basis. I already had this almost instantly with "Spiders", it made me feel sad. The beginning of "Soil" makes me laugh. This grew to unto almost half of the songs, or at least parts from the songs.
If you're into DK, Refused, Crass, Rudimentary Peni, Naked Agression, you might try this as well.

Randy - You can't keep a good band down [Sonic Rendezvouz]
Another great album from this Swedish Propagandhi styled band. There's a good variety of the type of songs on this record. Since they day I got this it hadn't bored me till death. They're songs open your eyes and ears and hopefully by some thinking of yourself the corporate shit will be ignored more and more. If you're into the Fat Wreck stuff well I'm pretty sure you 're gonna like this album a lot. It's a good beginning of 1999 and hope Randy will hit the Netherlands soon.
