4.0 out of 5 stars good if you are already a fan, October 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Get Up (Audio CD)

The three singles on this CD are excellent...but I would only recommend them to people who are already fans of Sleater-Kinney and those who understand the leaps and bounds with which their music is progressing and especially where they were coming from when this CD was issued. "Get Up" is off 'The Hot Rock' and is an inspiring, beautiful song with some amazing guitar work from Carrie The other two songs did not make the album, although they were recorded during the same sessions. "By The Time You're 25" which was very very close to making the album is an energetic, pump-you-full-of-energy sort of song. "Tapping" is somewhat darker and the better of the last two songs. Either way, this CD is a must have for any S-K fan and if you are just starting out, I recommend 'Dig Me Out' or 'Call the Doctor'.

Over time, Sleater-Kinney has become one of my favorite bands. And I would recommend the CD Single of "Get Up" to anyone who feels the same way. Each of the songs on the CD is good. But none is great. They're all kind of catchy in that Sleater-Kinney way -- "By the Time You're Twenty-Five" has really grown on me -- but there's not a "Little Mouth" or "Turn It On" here. Buy it if you're a definite fan, and otherwise, check out the albums first.

Great CD single from the best punk band today!
Worth getting if only for the two non-album tracks alone - the raucous and cautionary 'By The Time You're Twenty-Five' and one of my all-time favourite Sleater-Kinney tracks, the hauntingly melancholy 'Tapping.'

Also includes the single 'Get Up' from Sleater-Kinney's 1999 album, 'The Hot Rock.' (Which if you don't have you should get straight away. But that's a whole other review. ;))

An absolute must have for all S-K fans! :)
