5.0 out of 5 stars Soooooooo incredible!, April 15 2003

This review is from: Funtown (Audio CD)

Ladies from The Muffs and Tiger Trap combine to make this beautiful pop collection of lost-love songs and punky heartache. Produced by the band and Redd Kross' Jeff McDonald, the tunes are both remarkably tender("Sidewalks", "t.s. eliot")and ballsy("Make it in America", "Big Dumb World"). A lot of my friends still can't get used to Kim Shattuck's gloriously doofy presence and gravelly voice, but this is a nice introduction to her as she's not front-and-center at all times(as with The Muffs). I hope some Muffs fans are born with the album, it would be nice to see. A+

4.0 out of 5 stars I Wish They Had Collaborated More, Dec 10 2002

This review is from: Funtown (Audio CD)

This album feels like a collection of songs by Lisa and Kim and less like a collaborative effort among all three of them. When Lisa kicks in with Sidewalks or T.S. Eliot (great singles) you'ld swear she was the fifth Bangle (whoops, there was a fifth Bangle - okay, sicth Bangle). Not bad pop....

Kim's ripping cover of Frank Black's Thalassocracy is probably worth the price of admission alone. Kim's Big Dumb World stands out as well.

All and all, a fun disc.

The best CD of the year... if you love THE MUFFS, CUB and BUCK, don't delay!! The songs are all great and lead vocals alternate between Kim and Lisa... what more could we ask for? Oh yeah, videos; they're here to - 11 of 'em., one for each song. Each one cool in its own way, I keep a copy in my computer at all times for a BEARDS fix anytime!! GET THIS CD!!!
