5.0 out of 5 stars
An absolutely phenomenal CD..., February 4, 2000
This review is from: Frozen Charlotte (Audio CD)
For the most part, I do not tend to enjoy woman-fronted bands. My taste tends to lean towards a more aggressive, and much less techno sound. However, after hearing the song "Perfect Day", while shopping at a CD store, I picked up the Frozen Charlotte CD, and have since been impatiently waiting for this band to release some new material. There is quite simply not a bad track on this CD. The overall sound of Frozen Charlotte is somewhat dark and mysterious, with an erotic undertone. Sierra Swan's vocals and lyrics are pure ear-candy. And Graham Edwards is a master at providing Sierra with the perfect muscial backdrop to compliment each song's feel. Everyone I have played this CD for has purchased their own copy. I highly recommend picking it up.

A band with promise, February 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Frozen Charlotte (Audio CD)
Dollshead is something of a cross between Garbage and Curve, but they lack the spunk of former and the depth and density of the latter. I enjoyed some of the songs on this album, but the lyrics needed polish and content, as well as the instrumentation. I greatly look forward to their next album as they find a bit more direction and maturity. It's a good deput album, but it's not terribly novel.

Glamourous Dysfunction, October 14, 1999
This review is from: Frozen Charlotte (Audio CD)
Dollshead may have stolen eggs out of the basket of Curve and Garbage, but I think the musical omelet they've created is far superior. I am constantly playing this CD. Sierra Swan's vocals are cool and sleek and Graham Edwards use of electronics and guitar bring out her voice to the front. "No Karma, No Candy" has my favorite lyric: "Don't call me an animal. Don't call me a cannibal. Don't call me a metaphor. Don't you dare call me a little whore. I'm not your girl." The songs speak of emptiness, bitterness and mortality as she examines her ruined life. They've taken dysfunction to a new level.
