Well, the album has made its way to the usual places. Some of the songs are as worse as I expected, but I do find myself generally enjoying the albums.

On 2 listens, it sounds like a punky Solex being produced by Ladytron.

This song is actually worse than KMFDM.

The track on Fluxblog is pretty decent. Kath's voice is cool, though the music isn't as grabbing as the stuff on the first album. I really have to wonder if the line-up change after the debut was irrevocably affecting. They get fuller and fuller musically to little valuable effect.

i insist, the influence of the chicks on speed has proved to be very bad for le tigre. bad companies...

I don't really get what the big deal abt this song is. I mean it's not good, but it's not outlandishly bad in the way that most Le Tigre album tracks are. shouldn't be a single though

Wait til you hear their version of 'I'm So Excited (and I just can't hide it)'.

three weeks pass...

I thought this guy in the beginning said "We say go to war!", when he in fact says "We say no to war!". Was a bit confused there.

But hell yeah, talk about lack of subtlety and humour.

This should be the opening credit theme for the world's worst Afterschool Special.

I'm optimistic about the new album now: Alexis Petridis doesn't like it much - although bizarrely he seems to like 'New Kicks'.

"frequently leaves you feeling like you're being harangued by Buffy the Vampire Slayer's right-on classmate" = "I can no longer be bothered to make any effort to hide my hatred of young women"

Has anyone here mentioned the fact that "Deceptacon" was used in a cell phone commercial up here in Canada? Did they think no one would notice?

This song really DID rouse the masses, didn't it. *snores*

THIS IS NOT THE VOICE OF YOUNG WOMEN OF GAY WOMEN OF ANYONE IT IS A BAD BAD BAD SINGLE BY THREE WOMEN AND THAT IS IT

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:07 (nineteen years ago) link

This song is kind of awesome.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha yeah it kinda is

seven months pass...

Hey, remember when that Le Tigre single almost took down George Bush? All I can say is, gimme more Susan Sarandon samples NOW.

Honestly, I still can't get over how badly that song sucked......

eleven years pass...

Should I see the Julie Ruin tonight?

The Hit Reset album has gotten some good reviews, but I haven't listened to it yet

― curmudgeon, Friday, 19 August 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link

Gig is sold out tonight. Will check the album out on Spotify and look for live videos. Pitchfork, Spin and Ann Powers (for NPR) rank it highly, but will see for myself.
