"Amy Armageddon" CD (Cargo)
While I found some justified comparisons to early Smashing Pumpkins, I saw clear to overlook them and found a lot of good in this CD. Basically, this was one fuckin' cool album! I hate to cast aspersions upon singer Rich Scramaglia, but I must say that until I looked, I thought the singer was a woman. In any case, it doesn't matter; the music is original, the guitars are thick, the drums are uneven and unusual, and the lyrics actually make sense for a change. I recommend a purchase here. It's more effective background music than anything else, but there's nothing wrong with that at all. (ADAM)
