(ok, poison the well has nothing to do with Le Tigre)You wanna delete this review, dontcha? Okay, I dare ya. No seriously don't waste your time on a Pina Colada, buy this album *plays Japanese commercial tune to get kids to buy stuff*

This review is from: Le Tigre (Audio CD)

Yes, all but the most Hemi-headed will find something to bop to and maybe, just maybe, stick around long enough to "listen." Smart, funny, tough, kick-ass power-punk-pop where the B-52s meet the Clash and take Sandra Bernhard for a ride. Julie Ruin began this? Hey kids, get some HISTORY! But sure, it's the new thing, the now thing, the grrrl thing and it rocks. My 5yr-old says, "My five favorite bands are the Beatles, the Pretenders, Ella Jenkins, Dan Zanes, and Le Tigre. And my own band, the Maruumba Band." What a recommendation! My wife says he gets to listen to it until he figures out the adjective they use to describe Rudy Giuliani, and I don't mean "jerk." "But they're right, aren't they?" I counter, but she's a protective soul. I say, start your boyz out right and they grow up to be HUMAN BEINGS. And they get to have some fun while doing it. So give this album to your sons! Your boyfriends! Your dads! Your Uncle Charleys!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, Jan 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Le Tigre (Audio CD)

First of all - I would give this more 4.5 stars than 4 stars.

This CD is empowering, energetic and fun. It's great to dance to but the lyrics are meaningful. They're a hard band to define, they aren't exactly electro but this is NOT Bikini Kill. It takes more after where Julie Ruin left off I think. Kathleen Hanna sounds like she's having a good time throughout the whole record which makes it just that more good. Even if you aren't a feminist (although if you are - listening to the album is a lot more enjoyable) this a great album to look into. I would get this CD before "Feminist Sweepstakes" because it's harder to get into "Feminist Sweepstakes" if you don't know how Le Tigre began.

Deceptacon - GREAT, the first few times I couldn't hear anything she was saying so I didn't like it very much but after I knew the lyrics it turned out to be one of my favorites.

Hot Topic - This song is OK, I think it's a great idea for a song but it carries on a little too long.

What's Yr Take on Cassavetes - I love this song, it's hilarious and intellectual at the sametime. It also has a great beat to it.

Empty - Takes a while to like, but after you get into it, it's a great song to dance and sing a long to.

Phanta - A mediocre song, it's good the first few hearings but it gets a little boring after a few more.

Eau D'bedroom Dancing - ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL! This is my favorite song on the album. It's slower than the rest of the songs but it keeps you hooked. Simply singing about dancing in your bedroom but amazing lyrics.

Let's Run - Good lyrics but I don't really like the beat. It's a so-so song.

My My Metrocard - GREAT song, it's witty, clever, energectic, danceable and fun all at once. I love it.

Friendship Station - Another so-so song, not much to say about it.

Slideshow at Free University - This is a pretty good song, it has a good beat and it doesn't get tired. Not much to say about it either though.

Dude Yr So Crazy! - I love this. Johanna Fateman sings in this song and the beat is haunting. Probably my second favorite song on this album. It's also different from the rest since the beat isn't as upbeat as the rest.

Les and Ray - I like this song, I didn't really like at first but I think it's a good song to end. It's sweet and has good lyrics so I'm okay with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars great!
Brilliant and fun music, very similar to Julie Ruin, but better.
Kathleen Hanna sounds a little sweeter than she does in bikinikill but the spunky lyrics remind you of who... Read more

If you aren't bopping and thrashing about after a good listening of "Deceptacon" then there is something wrong with you.
