5.0 out of 5 stars I love this band!, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

With shades of pop/grunge and a Beatlesque melody, this band deserves your attention. Album sounds better with every play.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bestestest Chainsaw Kittens album, July 29, 2008

By	Aaron Kinney "MustangGT" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard of Chainsaw Kittens back in the 90s via Scratchie Records (the record company founded by Smashing Pumpkins members James Iha and D'Arcy Wretzky). Over the years I had owned all their albums at one time or another. While they collected dust in my closet for a few years, I recently decided to give them another listen.

I must say that their self-titled album is their best one by far. It has a sound to it that makes the band stand out much more than their other releases. This album is so chock full of quirky-yet-catchy, indie 90s sound that it gushes over the rim and spills onto the floor at your feet.

Their guitars and melodies are addictive, and the energy coming from this album is barely restrained, boisterous, frustrated, explosive, dizzying, and fully satisfying.

All in all it is a great indie alternative album from the 90s, and the best offering from the Chainsaw Kittens. Pick this album up, and pay especially close attention to the songs Heart Catch Thump, Monkey Smoke, and Bones in my Teeth. These songs stand out above and beyond even the album itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars This band deserves more attention, March 27, 2003

By	brian (Stillwater Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

This album is so fantastic.. Tyson Meade has one of the best voices in music today.. This album is different from the other ones before.. The song "Heartcatchthump" will get stuck in your head so fast.. "Speedway Oklahoma" is another great song.. The violin and the piano on it is amazing..

First off, the song "Heartcatchthump" is one darn catchy pop tune, if there ever was one. Aside from that gem, this is a great cd with plenty of killer guitar riffs, off-beat... Read more
