Review (in 1996):
Just like a real crash site, this site isn't always pleasant, but it is a spectacle for gawkers. It's cover page is set up like a splashy tabloid, and you're given low- and high-resolution paths (to save and burn bandwidth, respectively). Underground poster art, movies, and morphs are scattered across these pages like shattered glass on the avenue, highlighting alternative music, fiction, and politics.

The bands highlighted are given extraordinary personal treatment (the Royal Trux pages are set up like an FBI surveillance report, complete with blocked-out agent names). The look of this page is great, yet some of the political humor is beyond Swiftian and it is hard to tell when the kidding stops, if ever; "War as Entertainment" features a Top Ten list that's bitingly funny, but the movies here are certainly not. Because, you know, war is hell. Isn't it?

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
