MusicBanter Blog: VIL/VIOL by The Means Album Review

Despite being a band in 2000s, there's a dearth of reviews or articles about The Means. I dug and found this blog/message board called MusicBanter, and a poster named Bob high-lighted the The Means and their 2002 debut album VIL/VIOL:

their name fits the music perfectly....its raw and mean....i first found out about them in 2002 while living in Baltimore....i remember coming back to Reno for a visit and going out with my friends Sean and Paul....i told them "you guys love Nirvana right?....this is what they wished they were!" by the end of the second track Paul looked at me and said "this is what Nirvana's older brother would sound like while they were playing Nazi interrogation"....a perfect description Paul
