Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final studio album from the riot grrrl pioneers exhibits a noticeable deceleration, seamlessly incorporating more melodic, indie-rock influences into their fiercely political punk framework. Kathleen Hanna's vocal delivery ranges remarkably from vulnerable, subdued introspection to her trademark vitriolic screams. The record effectively documents a band heavily evolving both musically and personally right before their ultimate dissolution.
