Product Description

CD Description

From Big Mama Thornton to Madonna, the sexually aggressive woman has always held a special fascination for pop fans. With EXILE IN GUYVILLE, Liz Phair became the latest and by farthe most foul-mouthed addition to the line. Her mission wasto put a lacquered fingernail up the posterior of alternative rock's 'Guyville' establishment. Her model was the Rolling Stones' EXILE ON MAIN STREET and its portrait of a lonely,nihilistic world. Phair's ingenuous voice, stripped-down arrangements, and catchy melodies made her sound like a femaleJonathan Richman. However, it was her biting lyrics that drew the most attention, making EXILE IN GUYVILLE one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 1993.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exile in Guyville, 9 Sep 2006
By L. Omelasz "brekkie_tiffs" (Dundee, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When I first got into Liz Phair, I was a gigantic mainstream pop geek. I only had her notorious mass appeal to mainstream audiences, the self titled prior to buying this. On first listen, I found it unenjoyable, tunes lacking a great melody yadda yadda. On repeated listenings, my music tastes shifted for the greater good and I became more appreciative of not only this album but music itself. Liz Phair became my favourite artist (what felt like) overnight. Guyville seemingly deals with every aspect of relationships: the loneliness even when you're in a relationship; the disappointment in your partner; commitment issues and of course, love. All of the songs are utter delights but the best song that sums up this album and one of Phair's best is the heartbreaking Shatter.

Highlight: Shatter

4.0 out of 5 stars A window onto Liz Phairs world of post-teenage obsessions., 28 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Exile in Guyville [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Exile in Guyville is a raw record, sung and played in a way that at times it almost seems like it was recorded in a basement. But that is one of the things that make it a unique record. Liz Phair sings about boys and sex, mostly, with her amazing, at times cracking voice in a way that can shock some people, in a way that his hers. In songs like "F*** and run" she's explicit. In quieter songs, like "Canary" or "Glory", although the subject is pretty much the same, there's a different kind of approach. In my opinion, it's a must-have, along with her second, more polished record "Whip-Smart". A window onto Liz Phair's world of post-teenage obsessions.'
