5.0 out of 5 stars The best expression of strong emotions ever put to music., March 17, 2004

cynthia d. adamo (simsbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Excuse 17 (Audio CD)

This CD deals with several issues that most junior high, high school, college girls face - eating disorders, "being the seniors", self-inflicted wounds, wanting to commit suicide, wanting to get the f*ck out of your hometown...

but don't get me wrong, it doesnt make you want to do bad things... it helps you realize that you arent the only one who has felt this way, and in that sense, it is great "therapy".

One of my favorite things about this CD are the lyrics, and unfortunately there is not a lyric sheet included with the CD version. there are sites online that have the lyrics though. The lyrics are really powerful, they cut right to the raw core of feelings.

I can't praise this album enough for being so perfect at expressing it's messages, lyrically and musically.

This review is from: Excuse 17 (Audio CD)

excuse 17 is wonderful. there ya go. of course, what would you expect from kids in other incredibly notable bands, namely sleater-kinney (carrie), hotel no tell (becca) and killsybil (cj)? with backgrounds like that, a group of punk rock girls can hardly go wrong. buy this cd. you will be the coolest punkest kid on your block.
