Her writing here reads like some of the ravings of Charlie Manson. If this is indicative of her songwriter "voice" it is no wonder the album got savaged.

That said, I've read the review and found some of it to be superficial (regarding dress-codes, yeah 30-somethings are eternal adolescents now; some babyboomers seem to like it that way).

The singers that this critic raves about don't do much for me either (I couldn't even place a Liz Phair song if I heard it on the radio).

I guess it's because the bands that I've seen that have women in the band don't make the "It's a woman! And she sings rock music!" the whole point of the draw.

The Bell-Rays

The Detroit Cobras

I could post some others (Poison Ivy of the Cramps almost never sings but has played lead guitar for nearly 30 years now yet never has been profiled in a "Women In Rock" review).

Oh, dear. And I always liked her. She's never struck me as quite normal, though - and now it seems she's gone off the deep end. Bummer.
