13 of 14 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: CD/CS Version of the first two records (Audio CD) I'm not sure if these are the first two records that started riot grrrl, but I do know it did have a major influence on the scene. For those who don't know, riot grrrl (also spelled as just riot grrl) is a form of hardcore punk rock music, with militant feminist lyrics. It began and then died (having gotten unwanted attention from the media) in the early '90s. The record first starts off with 'Double Dare Ya' an urge for women to take control of their equal rights, which has one of my favorite lines 'Gotta listen to what the Man says/time to make his stomach burn'.

There's something beyond cool about this band...I won't articulate it because I imagine it's vastly different for every listener. I'm getting ready to save up and buy all the following albums... 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful By A Customer This review is from: CD/CS Version of the first two records (Audio CD) this is definitely bikini kill's best album...not only because of its powerful feminist message, but because the combination of skillfull instrumentals and kathleen's awesome lyrics and voice. my favorite songs are carnival, suck my left one, and outta me. the last track is really nice and a satisfying conclusion to one kick*** album!! |
