3.0 out of 5 stars Be fair now, March 15, 2001

scuspiria cirulian (Sitikar BC5(A.2)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divinyls (Audio CD)

The artwork was superfluous-she looked better in a schoolgirl outfit on "What a Life!" Still, the raspy tone she gives of "Bless My Soul" is something worth raising a fist to, and the horn solo on the loud, funky "Lay your Body Down" is as good as anything by the Stones. Yeah, there's enough pointless sap here, but on the rockers these guys are animals. A diverse album that is unfairly slammed as a one hit wonder-the music has tang, Cristina has a real life personality that carries the album through the dull stuff. No, I don't "Touch Myself" when I hear that song-it's good to excercise (stylishly) to when you're in the mood to embarass the more stuck-up acquaintances. No, this is not a 5 star ablum as you'll find at least one loon say about any album this side of ELO II, but it FEELS good, at least (Note to Don Henley). P.S keep it in the bedroom

Ms Diva "cycworker" (Nanaimo, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divinyls (Audio CD)

I was torn, but despite the fact that there are couple briliant songs on here, the whole CD doesn't quite come together well enough to give it 5 stars. I first heard the band when I Touch Myself came out, and I was surprised such an overt song would get airtime on mainstream, Canadian AM radio. The song is more than just a bubble gum pop song -- when you think about it, it's a very empowering song celebrating female sexuality, a subject that is usually considered taboo. I like Lay Your Body Down for the same reason. I'm On Your Side is one of my favorite ballads. Overall, however, even though the rest of the songs aren't bad, they aren't anything brilliant, either. A good, solid, standard rock album that you won't be disappointed in, though it likely won't warrant heavy rotation in your CD player, either.
