Full title - Enter- The Conquering Chicken. Originally released in 1994 this is The Gits' second studio album. It was near completion when the singer Mia Zapata was murdered on the streets of Seattle thus ending the bands recording career. Producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney) re-mixed the 13 songs, and 9 bonus tracks recorded live in PDX have been added including 2 never before heard studio tracks, 'I'm Lou' (unreleased), 'New Fast One' (unreleased), 'Crab', 'Seaweed', 'Rose', 'Whirlwind', 'New Fast One', 'Bob' & 'A Change Is Gonna Come'. The Conquering Chicken is considered the bands' best album and people have been clamoring for this records re-release since 1995. 22 tracks in all. Broken Rekids. 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD!, June 2, 2006

The music and Mia's powerful vocals made this band! Infact Mia was such a great singer, after she die the rest of the band could not replace her. There is no one out there that can sound like this band! They had their own sound. Later Joan Jett sing many gits songs in the short lived band evil stig, but not even she could not reach the leavel Mia could.

I heard mention of The Gits awhile ago but didn't realize their true talent until recently when I revisited this CD. I am very excited to see the documentary as well. This CD is a good listen all the way through, a rare achievement for most any band. Mia's voice recalls Courtney Love with a little Beth Ditto during slower songs. The actual music brings to mind early Nirvana. My favorite songs are Bob and I'm Lou. An amazing band cut down early on, but at least we got to witness this CD. A true treasure ranking right up there with L7.
