Binge and Purge, being the Lunachicks second album, is a great follow-up to Babysitters On Acid. As Binge and Purge maintains a harder edge that was present in the sound of Babysitters On Acid, it shows a more creative and playful choice of lyrics. Songs such as "This is Serious" and "Binge and Purge" uplift this album from the darker songs "Apathetic" and "Whole Lotta B.S." "This is Serious" incorporates a jingle from an old anti-drug commercial. Listen carefully and you'll be able to spot it. If you liked Babysitters on Acid, you'll love Binge and Purge; but if you've just recently heard Lunachicks with their recent albums "Luxury Problem" and "Pretty Ugly," this album will take a little getting used to. It's a great album none-the-less. Everyone who listens to it is sure to find something on this album that they'll love.

Well I have to disagree with the reviewer who find this album to be a ¨part 2¨to the 1st one.It's not.In ¨Baby Sitters...¨the
girls had not yet learned to play their instuments(this is
merely informative,no big deal) and were influenced by their
producer,the moronic Sonic Youth.Their second album
find them more mature,experienced and influenced by hard rock bands like Kiss but with an overall punk sound,burying
forever their debut sonic-grundge-noise crappy sound.To
my surprise,this record rocks in a similar way as their latest
¨Luxury problem¨work does.And that's no small feat.For
some unknown reason their label Go-Kart records,does
not longer offer this title so I guess the best option is Amazon now.
