4.0 out of 5 stars
pretty good..., April 24, 2007
This review is from: Cold (Audio CD)
this cd is actually surprisingly good...some people slam it, thinking it will be another Go-go's record or assuming it will be like Jane's solo stuff... and honestly, I wasn't too enthused about her solo projects, but... I really liked this album. It's raw, with energy and has just enough pop to it to keep it interesting. Im only sorry that this project didnt see more exposure. Im glad that I took a bit of a risk and purchased it. It's not too often that I am pleasantly surprised. Buy it and listen to it. you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars
This album is excellent and I completely disagree with the one star review, February 17, 2008
This review is from: Cold (Audio CD)
Sure it is the sound of a depressed midlife crisis, but saying she should release "a quiet acoustic collection" would strip Wiedlin of all the anger she feels, this album is raw and as rough an album a Go-Gos member will ever make. And that mix of the caustic with the sweetness of the Go-Gos is what makes this so great. Chord changes are awesome, and I'll have to listen a few more times but I think this might make it into my favorites of the 90s. Here is the sound of someone becoming fed up with being nice and the abuse that comes with that as a result, and deciding to be their own person. The liners with a picture of the band in Star Trek uniforms shows the band do not care at all what anyone thinks of them, and that is beyond cool. This was criminally ignored in favor of the Gin Blossoms (Ugh), and I like this album because there is no pretense whatsoever, just great music. And that's the way it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars
one of my Desert Island top 10, March 2, 2005
This review is from: Cold (Audio CD)
Jane Weidlin rocks! Ok, so her label didn't give her band much support, but while they were busy pushing nauseating crap like Pearl Jam's XXX's piece of garbage, Jane was kicking butt with a fresh, fun, energetic romp through pop-rock. Her backing band is like Green Day, but with their schtuff together. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you like PowerPop.
