MS MR – Secondhand Rapture – CD The dark brooding electronica sound drew me in and the soaring harmonies kept me deeply involved. MS MR are a great blend of sullen and sultry with rhythm and hooks to spare. The lyrics are another strong point with plenty of...

Marbles, The – Seduction – CD (Break-Up! Records) A great ‘80s sound that is a bit reminiscent of early Kim Wilde. The songs are catchy and very poppy. The best thing is that they are from Columbus, which means that I will actually be able to see them...

Modifiers, The – Show and Tell – CD (Cool Basement Records) Some of the tunes on this release sound so much like The Oxymorons songs that it’s scary. In fact I had to call Grog to see if Ben might have known any of these guys when he lived out in New York....

Mob Rules – Temple of Two Suns – CD (Limb Music) With a sound that’s a combination of Iron Maiden and Queensryche, Mob Rules takes you back to the day when metal reigned supreme. Mob Rules show amazing musicianship and songwriting skills as they continue...

Moment – Songs for the Self-Destructive – CD (Espo Records) I think that Moment is what Fifteen would sound like if they were a bit calmer and toned down the political activism a notch. Still, Moment is edgy and they do sing about issues that are important...

Mr. Centipede – A Home for Hardly Even – CD (This Hits!) Mr. Centipede is a guy with a Tascam, some dreams and now a CD. This release has a very lo-fi feel and for good reason…because it is very lo-fi. I do like his style and found many of the lyrics...

Monster In Your Closet – Momma’s Boy – CD www.geocities.com/monsterinyourcloset.html Cold, dark and ominous…yes Gothic, but with a little more variation than a typical band of that genre. Monster In Your Closet has the added twist of a somewhat...

Motochrist – 666 Pack – CD (RAFR) More of the good stuff from these guys, punk/hard rock riffage, metal wah wah leads. This reminds me of a better produced Paul Diamond Blow. (Seattle arena rock hero) and one of the guys is even named Mark Diamond! I...

Marilyn Manson – Holywood – CD (Nothing Records) This marks the return of the old style of Marilyn Mason after his last albums foray into glam. While it is dark and gloomy it is missing something. Nothing about it really draws me in and makes me want to...

The Monitors – Show Me on the Doll – CD (Wolf Sandwich) Screaming punk with a cigarette voice and alternative flair. There are some songs that I really like on this release and some I just downright can’t stand. I enjoyed the cover of Devo’s “I...
