3.0 out of 5 stars
STOP!, 19 Jul 2005
This is not an album.
This is not a surprisingly cheap Bif Naked CD with a surprisingly large number of songs on it. It is not music. It is not what you think it is.
"This is a spoken word record, no singing at all."
This is Bif Naked ranting. And it's very very strange.I have to review this CD, because I bought it thinking it was all the things it isn't. If you want to hear music, this is not for you. If you've heard a Bif Naked song, and want to hear more, go look at 'Purge' or something - this isn't what you want.
If, however, you read the leaflet in Purge and loved Bif's little comments around the song lyrics, you may quite enjoy this. Every track is a monologue, it's all just Bif talking about stuff...all sorts of things. In track 10 (Alcohol is the Root) Bif tells how she had her first beer, when she was 12, in the back of a van with a 16 year old boy putting his hands down her pants. Track 8 begins: "Ask yourself if you're an asshole" and goes on to ask "are you a gossip? do you talk about your neighbour? do you talk about people you don't know and speak negatively?"
It is a very amusing record, to be honest. "Poor you with your apartment and your levis and your ex still phoning..." and "Right now, wherever you are, listening to this , I can garantee you I'm probably. somewhere...else." I am disappointed in this, because I thought I was getting music. But it is a great idea...it's almost like a poetry reading, not so much stand-up comedy as stand-up insulting. Ranting, to entertain. "In the bible it says that you're not supposed to mutilate or decorate your body cos God will get really cheesed at you..." and it goes on.
I hope this is useful to you, because there was no review here when I bought this and so I was woefully led astray...but I do have to say, Bif Naked ROCKS.
