Review title: Thrash Metal Survives Product review: While most thrash/speed bands have watered-down their sound into something unrecognizable (Metallica) or begun to gravitate toward nu-metal (Slayer), there are a few that have retained their own identities, still playing the fast, brutal music that made them infamous to begin with. Sodom is one of those bands. The production from Harris Johns is top-notch and most of the songs are truly great, only a few descending into that mindless drum-pounding/guitar-shredding that can sometimes afflict bands that straddle the line between thrash and death or black metal. Are they repeating themselves? Most likely, but I'd far rather listen to this material than any other "metal" being released by "progressive, forward-thinking" bands like Korn; turn up "Addicted to Abstinence" or "Visual Buggery" and forget nu-metal exists.
Ans: increase

Review title: Jack Kerouac with an undiagnosed case of ADHD Product review: Kerouac is gone (ostensibly) but Ray Murphy is ver much alive and roving the tawdry streets of Portland. Nothing, since perhaps Celine's "Journey to the End of Night" - or stretching further Bukowski's "Ham on Rye" - tears the limp cerebral life out of a reader in quite the way Murphy does. This diatonic hammer of brilliance deserves - and I believe will find - an amazingly large readership - thankfully we have Amazon to introduce it to us cyberspuds!

Product review: Wicked was one of our book club selections. It was fairly poorly recieved. Our group felt it was hard to sympathize with or relate to any of the characters. We also felt the authors writing style wasn't consistent throughout the book. For example, early in the book the conversations between characters are formal and somewhat stilted. Later on while characters are discussing the unfortunate death of Glinda the prose is rather ribald. We also felt that it seemed somewhat incongruous for negative and nasty Elphaba to 'carry the torch' for the Animals cause. We are not planning on reading the sequel. We could care less...
