Kicked In the Teeth is a 1998 album by the American band Zeke, released via Epitaph Records. [5] [6]
Pitchfork wrote that "the music just isn't strong enough to warrant or excuse the band's bothersome attitudes." [4] The Columbus Dispatch called the album "17 furious songs played ... in fewer than 20 minutes ... The quartet is equally adept at pummeling the ears with slow and midtempo tunes." [7] The Albuquerque Journal thought that "quick songs blow by like fists from a hated bully, while others chug along a la Black Sabbath." [8]

"New Slang" is a song by American rock band The Shins, released on February 19, 2001 as the lead single from the group's debut studio album, Oh, Inverted World (2001). Written by guitarist and vocalist James Mercer, it concerns his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico and his experiences there in his late 20s. The lyrics are fueled with "angst and confusion," as Mercer was finding himself constantly depressed and disconnected from his friends and scene. The song attracted attention from Sub Pop Records, who issued the song as a single in February 2001. The buzz created by the song led to positive press for the group's debut album, Oh, Inverted World.
Summerteeth is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band Wilco, released on March 9, 1999, by Reprise Records.

Unlike previous albums, Summerteeth was heavily overdubbed in the studio with Pro Tools. Tweedy and Jay Bennett wrote most of the album in the studio, a contrast to the band's previous albums, which were often recorded live by the entire band with minimal overdubs.
