Rebelious Jukebox | July 24th 2008 by Tristan Burns
Clinic’s first two full lengths Clinic (Three EPs) (1999) and the critically lauded Internal Wrangler (2000) seem to get discussed a lot but their third LP Walking With Thee (2002) is generally less well respected. I have to say after hearing all t read more

Usher - Here I Stand / Album Review
There Goes The Fear | July 21st 2008 by Phil Singer
Where does one start when reviewing the likes of an Usher Raymond album, perhaps with the units sold? No, that’s not a true reflection of the quality. Perhaps by the heavy duty collaborators? No still not a gauge for substance. Perhaps with the read more
