Some heavy sh#t drops this week — Filter is back with a vengeance with The Trouble With Angels, Soundgarden gives us Black Rain that’s hopefully nothing like Ozzy’s; Iron Maiden takes you to their own Final Frontier; and NOFX unleashes a Long one. Near the other end of the musical spectrum, The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson continues his perennial acid trip; and some dude named Lil’ Wayne tries to prove he’s above it all. See you next week for more rock n’roll and witticisms.
