Throwback, '70s-drenched rock sure seems to be all the rage these days, and labels like Liquor and Poker just keep churning out mostly quality releases in this vein.

The big problem is that the light-to heavy (relatively speaking) arrangements are tolerable if the songwriting is especially catchy or the band...June 12, 2006

Lunar Womb [reissue]
Without diminishing the impact of this revered classic at all, it's only fair to say that Scott "Wino" Weinrich has topped "Lunar Womb" at least a few times since its original 1991 release.
