5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Own..., July 19, 2001

How to describe this album? It's gritty, emotional, punkish alternative music that catches your attention with the first guitar riffs but holds on to you with their lyrical content, song construction, and perfect vocals.

It's really a shame Discount isn't more well-known, they deserve any bit of fame they get.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great underated album, July 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Half Fiction (Audio CD)

This is an excellent discount album. The production is wonderful, Alison's vocals are clear and biting, and the rest of the band rocks. They were an excellent rock band and their live shows were one of the best I've ever seen. The title track is an upbeat and electifying hit, and this buzzing energy continues throughout the CD. My favorite track is "Toxic Home". It is a beautiful rock song with excellent emotional lyrics. It's a shame they weren't given the response they deserved (i.e. been more famous), especially since there are so few good rock bands out there and rock bands with female lead singers are rare.

Total amateurish punk pop, done a thousand times better by a thousand different bands since 1976... This is much like what you've heard those annoying neighbor girls playing in their garage. Nothing stands out - neither playing, nor songwriting. Go listen to Legal Weapon, Super Heroines, Holly Vincent, Echobelly, Elastica, Yeah Yeah Yeahs...
