Review(s): Orange 9mm, Off Minor, Phil Ochs

Orange 9mm - Driver Not Included: I can see the comparisons to Quicksand, but what caught my attention was how much it sounded like Limp Bizkit and the nu metal to come (Driver Nor Included was released in 1995).

Off Minor - The Heat Death of the Universe: Screamo is virtually the only genre in which a vocalist is allowed to scream uncomprehendingly and not be criticized for it. Don't ask why, just nod.

Phil Ochs - Pleasures of the Harbor: Next Dylan? Hardly, but a very slick folk album that will be revisited.
