...Doubt. _Exterminator_ is an attempt to recapture the glory of 1977, when punk seemed like it just might win. While straight-ahead punk does appear here (the glorious opening suite of "Kill All Hippies," "Accelerator" and "Exterminator"), more important is the group's appropriation of righteous anger. Leftist rage permeates the album, unifying techno ("Swastika Eyes"), hip-hop ("Pills") and guitar noise of the best sort ("MBV Arkestra") with an unmediated rage...
Working from circumstantial evidence and surmise, Thomas elaborates his theory of the crime: Patsy Ramsey accidentally killed her daughter in a late-night rage over the child's chronic bed-wetting, mortally wounding her with a blow to the head, and then in a state of panic, tried to make the assault appear to be the result of a botched kidnapping. Patsy penned a ransom note, Thomas alleges, and carried JonBenet to a basement storeroom, where she garroted her. Thomas believes John Ramsey was asleep and unaware of the events until morning, when he discovered the body and moved...
...moment, images of murdered babies can make us cringe or weep. But they are sounds and sights to which we know how to react; we have categories of thought and emotion into which we can place our surprise or anger.

Meanwhile, Korn was chillin' on the West Coast in Bakersfield, Calif., gathering up rage motivated by not having dates to awkward high school formals, jealousy towards big jock bullies and their hot cheerleader girlfriends, and tolerating parents that would not let them smoke dope and swear. Their question: when would hate-rock rule again...
...seen No Doubt only four short years ago in a small club in Providence, and the crowd was nothing like this one. They were bigger, older, rougher, more ska-core and punk. The floor then was not violent by Rage Against the Machine standards, catering more to the more gentle colliding of a skank pit. At that time, the opening band was Goldfinger, a light-hearted, prankish, oft-nude precursor to Blink-182. This time, the openers were not nearly as friendly. But the presence of the Suicide Machines did not scare off any of the teenage girls. Rather...
