Rating: 9/10 Best songs: Do it or die, Saved by strangers, Lovely of a woman, Near the end, Donut kill self
This was unexpectedly entertaining… loved the lead vocals and really enjoyed this.
Didn't expect the level of punk here. This was rather good.
I liked Unicorn Steak, it's punchy punky rock, done well, doesn't flirt with territory it's not capable of, and goes hard throughout. Do It or Die, Near The End, Donut Kill Self all good, this slots nicely in my music collection among a bunch of similar stuff, 4/5, would happily listen regularly.
4.5
Rock un tanto grunge, algo salvaje, guitarrero, con voz potente femenina. Prometía y parece un buen disco. Falta escucharlo más en detenimiento y darle más oportunidad, pero me ha gustado el estilo rockero.
This is pretty damn good but just lacks that little something to make it extra special. Getting some good women in rock choices on the user list which is great to see and hear
Solid, straightforward rock n roll, in the vein of Nirvana or Hole. Sad to hear of the lead singer's death at only 36. Good stuff.
For whatever reason this kinda kicks ass. Nothing deep and I'm not sure what separates this from e.g. Foo Fighters other than these songs are generally way better? RIP Care Failure, definitely her voice put this into a higher category. Occasionally hinting at early 90s Boston local alt rock ("Upside Down Cross") how's that for unnecessarily or weirdly specific? Again not thinking too hard for once, even if gets a little long in the tooth by the end it's still just fun. 7/10 4 stars IMO: Belonged in the book? No.
Not quite mannequin pussy
Sounds vaguely 80s standard rock to me. Really derivative and formulaic. There's nothing really wrong with that but don't expect me to like it.
Solidly put together alt rock. I didn't extract much from it lyrically but enjoyed the listen. I have to say it has a bit of a pop heart for all the kind of hardcore/post-punk presentation.
If Dave Grohl were a women, Foo Fighters probably would sound something like this. Some good riffs on this album too. Very cool discovery of a band I never heard of before
