4.0 out of 5 stars Chickens roosting on electric fences..., May 25, 2000

Neither as momentarily harsh nor as tweakedly democratic as the Kittens' first album ("We Buy a Hammer For Daddy"), nor as Karl-be-Blaked as their Daxless third ("Spoonfed & Writhing"), THE BIG DENTIST staggers forward on ungainly drunken clubfeet through typically Kittenish rants, groaned song-poems, delicate instrumental teratogenesis, and darkly amusing, wholly unexpected sections of early-80s cheap-synth flibbertigibbet. I suppose any finalesque say depends on whose camp you're more in -- Danielle's or Karl's -- but that's probably the inverted rub: the two seem a bit at odds with each other here, and maybe that's why it doesn't entirely stand up against either "Pop-Eyes" or "Paper-Thin Religion." But it has its moments, and I don't regret owning it at all.

The previous reviewer must be deaf ( no offense to actual deaf people). If you have a chance to get a hold of this, DO IT !
Don't be one of the sad masses who should be kicking themselves for missing out on this one !

1.0 out of 5 stars Noise vs. Art, April 29, 2003

There is a fine line between experimental, jazzy artsy music... and noise. This album definately has a sort of Frank Zappa-esque feel to it, but unlike some of Frank's albums, none of these songs have any direction or continuity. I have respect for most artists who dare to experiment, but a monkey could have recorded this album.
