Editorial Reviews

LEXI VALENTINE and NADIA KING got together in 2003 intent on presenting a strong female presence that wasn't an adolescent cry in the dark. No juvenile sulking and sneering and no melodrama. Soon, FRENCH joined them in forming MAGNETA LANE, a potent antidote to the faux punk posturing of today's manufactured young rock bands. Guided by their influences, THE KINKS, SONIC YOUTH, VELVET UNDERGROUND and NANCY SINATRA, Magneta Lane have created a sound, mood and style all their own. Impressively they preserve their femininity while engaging the audience in positively gritty sounds and wise beyond their year's lyrics. 'Dancing with Daggers' is an astonishing full length, ten track debut album from the most promising Canadian female rock trio of 2006. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This is probably one of the best albums I've bought this year, and I've bought literally hundreds - i own more music that can be healthy. Seriously, it's such a good album.

The start is a little decieveing. Bridge to Terabithia opens with a slow riff on guitar, then bursts into full on rock. The album then follows suit in a similar vein. Broken Plates is a great song, which took me a few listens to like at first, but it's probably my fave. Wild Gardens is a little different, more melodic, and then it's back to the hard stuff in 22.

The album's only letdown has to be Carnival in Spain, which is a bit...weird...but then the final four songs make up for that.

Definitely worth buying if you're a fan of Hole or Nirvana. There's a certain grunginess to this album that you just fall in love with after a while. Get this. It's good.
