Rarely do records come around that are such a great mix of a physical adrenaline rush combined with intellectualism.
-
Whoa, is it ever tough, but wow, is it ever great.

No matter what vehicle Hersh utilizes as an outlet, it’s obvious her creative wave has yet to crest.
-
It's fantastic stuff-- at its best, the innate catchiness of Hersh's writing gets a shot in the arm from her cavalier vocals and musical caterwauling.
