aww this version of "black and blonde" IS the one off nina's solo album, but they rewrote all the lyrics that ppl interpreted as being anti-louise <3 <3

The last track, Alternica, is cornball city. Is there a rating scale for cheese that I could apply here?

It's possible this may turn out to be my favorite album of theirs.

i preferred the chorus of the original "Black & Blonde" but then again I stan hard for that first Nina solo record, it's terrific, surprised she didn't end up doing country after it.
A couple of great keepers on this, at least ("Laughing in the Sugar Bowl", "Come Clean Dark Thing", "Triage"), but it really just makes me want to listen to "American Thighs" again. Which I did, and it still kicks ass.

Solo Nina is abysmal. I'm glad she had at least one fan, though.

One is about right. Paid an ungodly amount for it on import when it came out and six months later it was everywhere for one-tenth the price. The second album is awful AND boring though.

I have Nina's solo debut, but haven't listened to it in 15 years. Didn't even realize she made a follow-up.

solo nina has a fan in me. really really crazy about the tune "Now I can die"…then she became involved in the lamentable "hushed folkie rendition of gangsta classic" movement briefly the rage in the early file-sharing epoch…
