5.0 out of 5 stars best of their albums, February 20, 2004

i don't understand the lack of respect for this album. i get the hunch that the other reviewers are a bit more into pop music than punk rock. this album is the most raw and purely punk than the others. this definitely has a ramones feel as well as some of the better lofi garage bands out there. the donnas seem to have gotten away from this sound which is a shame because this album is a gem and i was hoping the following stuff would be more of the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Donnas, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Donnas (Audio CD)

In my opinion this is much better that American Teenage Rock n' Roll Machine. The songs are raw and don't suffer from overproduction. The songwriting is awesome and they just seem to have more spirit on this one. This is one of my favorite albums ever: every song is great. Some of them could have been recorded better, but this is the catchiest stuff they've done (although I haven't bought the new one yet). Many of these songs (i.e., Lana and Stevie, I Don't Wanna Rock N' Roll Tonight, High School Yum Yum ...) are classics in the girl punk pop genre. Very worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars underrated and raw, September 25, 2003

The above reviews are far too harsh. This album is pure punk, in style and spirit. Their later albums veer more towards KISS and AC/DC which is all well and good. But here you will hear essential and entertaining grrl punk anthems like "i'm gonna make him mine tonite" and "i don't wanna go to school"
