    Not awful per se?but nothing really stands out. Brody's voice is amazingly visceral as always, but the song's just don't hold up as well as their previous work. I've listened to it several times and still can't remember any of the songs on it: they all sort of blur together except for the noise on the last track, which is just annoying.

    I have to admit that I'm disappointed with this album after expecting an evolution from "Sing Sing Death House." That album was incredibly hard. This album seems so overproduced. Why do they muck up Brody's voice with overdubs, etc.??? And why the slower stuff?? I'm confused.

    In making a record with such universal themes of love and hate, and sounding so pissed off in the process, Brody has inadvertently made herself the most important new rock star in the world.

    This is exciting but competent American punk by numbers. [Nov 2003, p.114]

    All you have to do is plug Coral Fang in and turn it on to experience [Dalle's] greatness.
