Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

No change here. Sleater-Kinney are still as impassioned and ennobling as ever on their fifth album. As ever, when Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein's voices collide in almost inarticulate harmony, you want to strike out blindly--face a blurry mess of tears. The guitars are still frantic, the words challenging and oblique. Still, it sounds like the Northwest's Sleater-Kinney are one of the few bands left who can invest rock & roll with any meaning--precisely because they're so earnest, naive, humourless. One song here towers above the rest: the scathing "#1 Must Have" literally wails about the homogenisation of every facet of youth culture, right down to the small details--in Sleater-Kinney's case, their personal belief systems and friends' lifestyles. "Now who would ever have believed this riot grrrl's a cynic?" the band lament, "but they took our ideas to the marketing stars." This is a great album--one of 2000's most vital. No change there, then. --Everett True

5.0 out of 5 stars blinding, 12 Jan 2001
This review is from: All Hands on the Bad One (Audio CD)
The first four albums from Portland's trio saw them coming on by leaps and bounds, so much so that this, their fifth album, is their masterpiece. The feminist theme still runs through the album, spiced with a dry humour on songs such as "Milkshake 'n' Honey"which does them much credit. Corin Tucker's howl is more powerful than ever and blends perfectly with Carrie Brownstein's softer harmonies, with the twin guitar counterpoint adding to the overall effect. Janet Weiss's drumming is spot-on as ever (hello Alan Leach of Shed 7) creating the perfect framework on which to balance the melodies. Ballad Of A Ladyman is a well-crafted rant about the pressures to sell out, while single You're No Rock'n'Roll Fun is the most pop track on the album. There's even a thinly veiled reference to the publicity surrounding Princess Diana's death.

This is a perfect album - start from here and you'll have to get the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 21 Mar 2001
This review is from: All Hands on the Bad One (Audio CD)
Sleater-Kinney just get better and better. That`s really all I have to say, this record is simply stunning. I didn't think they could improve on 1997's "Dig Me Out," but they've done so - for me, AHOTBO is the best album of 2000, let's hope these three ladies have plenty more like this up their collective sleeve.

5.0 out of 5 stars gets better everytime you listen, 31 Mar 2002
This review is from: All Hands on the Bad One (Audio CD)
I love this album. Their songs are so individual and are great to listen to whatever mood your in. You cant get bored of it. It is an easy listening girlie, guitar band. If you like that sorta thing, youll love this album. Most of the songs are upbeat but a couple are quite mellow. They also have really cool lyrics adding to their brilliant songs.
