| | Radio Waves Of The 90'S: Alternative Rock Hits CD
Seeing budget compilations of '90s alternative rock might make the people that grew up with it feel old and sad, but not half as sad (or, more likely, confused) as seeing songs like Extreme's power ballad "Hole Hearted" or Ugly Kid Joe's hair metal snark-fest "Everything About You" on Radio Waves of the '90s: Alternative Rock Hits. This foray into pop-metal is a serious flaw in the collection, but fortunately not an entirely fatal one, as it redeems itself with more likely tracks such as the Gin Blossoms' "Follow You Down," Semisonic's "Closing Time," and Del Amitri's "Roll to Me." Despite the somewhat random song selections -- which, puzzlingly, also include Tears for Fears' bombastic, early-'90s single "Break It Down Again" -- the album does manage to feature three of the decade's best and most definitive alternative rock singles: Urge Overkill's surging "Sister Havana," the Cranberries' sweet first single "Linger," and the Stone Roses' "Love Spreads," which sounded somewhat disappointing upon its release but eventually proved to hold its own with the band's best material. A scattered and occasionally wrongheaded collection, Radio Waves of the '90s: Alternative Rock Hits is probably best avoided, despite some of the worthwhile songs it includes. ~ Heather Phares

Youth Brigade's Stern brothers haven't sounded so fierce or rocket-powered since Sound and Fury. The vocals are slightly buried in the middle of a screaming-hot, loud-as-jackhammers mix, yet Shawn Stern bellows so fast and hard and tunefully, like a young Jake Burns of SLF, that you can't help but hear him loud and clear. Nearly two decades of recording and touring really show: Even without the thunderous production, the Brigade have never been so tight and hard and quick as they are on cuts such as "It's Not Like That Anymore," a frank soul search on the current values of those who were part of the late '70s/early '80s punk scene. That same theme is revisited on the one mid-tempo cruncher, "Let Them Know," with a big chorus that will likely have the spiky-hairs all singing along at the top of their beefy lungs. The only thing wrong with this searing 15-minute fireball is that it's only six songs. That's because the Swingin' Utters open this LP with six songs of their own, as fast and also rather tight, but not quite as vicious and roaring -- and Johnny Bonnel's Mike Ness-smoky voice doesn't sound ...
