Blink 182
A fresh-sounding blast of Blink-182's trademark pop-punk, "Man Overboard" is sure to please the band's legion of fans, and teenage girls everywhere.

BBMak
Uninspired wordplay insults the intelligence here, as British "boy band" attempts to snag a slice of American cheese pop with "Still On Your Side."

Agent Steel
Asbestos-melting metallic mayhem with almost-inhuman speed beats -- all deep-fried in sinister thrashing riffs. The MUSICBLITZ Exclusive track "Forever Black" is charred to the bone!
|

|
|
Red Math
The power of light and dark -- there's a little bit of both on this MUSICBLITZ Exclusive from Red Math, who finds both the yin and the yang in drum 'n' bass.

Alternative
Marilyn Manson - "Love Song" - mjuice - 4 Stars
The ringmaster of "The Dope Show" returns with a vengeance, toting what may well be George W. Bush's campaign theme for 2004!
BS 2000 - "Buddy (feat. Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys)" - mjuice - 3 Stars
BS2000 -- a.k.a. Amery "AWOL" Smith and the Beasties' Adam Horowitz -- get ill on a Casio keyboard.
Electronic
Nine Inch Nails - "No You Don't (Version) - Manipulated by Keith Hillebrandt" - MP3 - 3 Stars
Hillebrandt takes the guitar-heavy industrial thrash of the original and puts it through an old-school industrial filter, making this version more Frontline Assembly than Ministry.
DJ Dan - "Needle Damage - That Zipper Track (Needle Dubbage Mix)" - MP3 - 3 Stars
Is it house? Is it techno? Is it good? Yes, yes, and a resounding yes!
Rap/Hip-Hop
Def Squad - "So Sweet (feat. Eazy-E) " - mjuice - 3 Stars
There are lots of sweeter MCs than Erick, but a beyond the grave cameo from Eazy adds a little flava to this blunt East Coast jam.
Snoop Dogg presents Doggy's Angels - "Baby If You're Ready" - WinMedia - 3 Stars
They’re not tryin’ to Dogg you out! Snoop’s trio of rappin’ lovelies wants you to know they’ve got your back -- if you’re man enough to share their Dogghouse!
Metal
Lamb of God - "Black Label" - MP3 - 5 Stars
Look the future of American metal in the eye. Don’t blink -- they’re pissed at everyone, and you could be next!
Nevermore - "The River Dragon Has Come" - MP3 - 3 Stars
A time warp to the classic metal era, Nevermore gets a little prog, a lot heavy, and just a bit too predictable on this end-of-the-world parable.
R&B
Brand New Heavies - "Saturday Nite (Remix) feat. Mos Def" - LiquidAudio - 3 Stars
Soul-loving Brits attempt to come up with a weekend funk anthem. I say, chaps, shall we endeavor to boogie?
Erykah Badu - "My Life" - LiquidAudio - 2 Stars
Not as straight-upBaaad as your average Badu track, the jazzy, low-key “My Life” could use a lifesaver.
Reggae
Scare Dem Crew - "Dis Scare Dem" - WinMedia - 3 Stars
More freaky than scary, a shot of near-insanity from ruff & tuff Kingston. Imagine the Wu-Tang running loose in di dancehall and you’re halfway there!
Steel Pulse - "Black Enough" - PlayJ - 2 Stars
The real question is, is this superslick live cut rough enough? Maybe not; the glossy sound glosses over the in-your-face message from a black man.
Rock
The Eagles - "Take It To The Limit" - MP3 - 3 Stars
A bloodlessly competent version of one of their biggest hits, recorded live in L.A. on New Year's Eve 1999.
Neil Young - "Fool For Your Love (Reprise)" - mjuice - 2 Stars
An under-rehearsed throwaway from Neil's last tour, which somehow ended up on his new live record. Who let this dog out?
Blues
Junior Wells - "The Train I Ride" - PlayJ - 5 Stars
Little Junior Parker meets James Brown on this underappreciated mid-'70s track. Nuthin' fancy, just good ol' funky blues!
James Cotton - "Lightning" - MP3 - 4 Stars
A vibrant blues instrumental from Cotton's new album, with his ageless harp leading the charge. Tastier than a freshly-dunked rib tib!
Jazz
Louis Hayes - Woody Shaw Quintet - "Contemplation" - MP3 - 4 Stars
Drummer Hayes and trumpeter Shaw team up to deliver eight-and-a-half minutes of solid bop, highlighted by Ronnie Matthews' liquid piano solos. Sweet and swingin', with nary a trace of fusion in earshot.
Regina Carter - "Don't Mess With Mr. T" - WinMedia - 4 Stars
Carter’s spooky tribute to Motown’s “Trouble Man,” Marvin Gaye, is a groove that you just don’t wanna mess with! Ms. C shows she’s not just fiddling around on this melancholy masterpiece!
Pop
Los Lobos - "Tomorrow Never Knows " - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
This live cover of one of the Beatles' greatest songs can't quite match the original -- what could? -- but still gives plenty of psychedelic bang for yer buck.
Enya - "Only Time" - LiquidAudio - 3 Stars
Meet the new Enya, same as the old Enya.
Punk
Dead Kennedys - "Forward To Death" - PlayJ - 4 Stars
Not one of the most important tracks from this most seminal of punk bands, but anything by the Dead Kennedys blows away 99% of what masquerades as punk rock in the Y2K…
Jesus Christ Superfly - "Nervous" - MP3 - 2 Stars
By the numbers dirty rock n' roll with a little thrashy kick -- think Nashville Pussy meets the MC5, but after they've all passed out from overindulgence.
Alt-Country
The Blue Rags - "Movin' On" - MP3 - 5 Stars
A piano-fueled road ode du jour, “Movin’ On” moves into your memory and takes up permanent residency.
Marty Stuart - "Hey Porter (feat. Johnny Cash)" - LiquidAudio - 4 Stars
Twangy and tangy, a twenty-something Marty Stuart focuses on the picking, handing the mic over to his then-father in law Johnny Cash. Memorable only begins to describe this collaboration.
Jambands
Blues Traveler - "12 Swords" - MP3 - 3 Stars
Well, at least we know what Kevin Costner’ll probably pick as the theme song should he ever decide to do a Robin Hood sequel. Stay thee away!
Tree O' Frogs - "The Jazz Children Killed Our Vocalist" - PlayJ - 3 Stars
Although innocent until proven guilty, we’re pretty sure the Jazzman did it. You be the judge with this routine groove workout... Shouldn't they be in school or something?
