4.0 out of 5 stars super, May 24, 2004

If you're familiar with the kind of music the Butchies write already, you'll love this CD. Just good riot-inciting rock with great lyrics that fit right in. The first song "Send Me You" is the catchiest and rocks hard; I've listened to it at least once a day ever since I got it, which was about two weeks ago. But all the songs, the more you listen to it, the more you like it. Definately a good buy, and the music is still in the Butchies spirit. And check out their music video for "Send Me You," it rocks. As for it being a shame about how they aren't widely recognized and given attention...well personally, I hope their popularity doesn't grow TOO much more than it has already....

It's a shame and a wonder that The Butchies aren't better known or receive more recognition from the music industry that they so clearly deserve. In the meantime I'm keeping The Butchies close to my heart. There is little doubt that this punk rock trio from North Carolina is my favorite band around. I've been waiting for the release of their fourth record for a year, since they announced that they're working on a new album when they toured Chicago last April, and MAKE YR LIFE doesn't disappoint. It includes all the hypnotic and seductive rhythms we've come to expect from Kaia, Melissa and Alison and also the incredible guitar and drums. There's nothing more uplifting and satisfying than listening to MAKE YR LIFE on the way home from work. The only problem is that I hardly ever listen to the entire CD in sequential order, rather I find myself continuously hitting the rewind button to listen to the same song over and over. When a Butchies song captures your attention so strongly it's difficult to listen to any other song. Kudos to The Butchies for another spectacular release, and I sincerely hope that there's lots more in the future. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Surprise, July 29, 2005

Ok, so I bought the cd because I think the chicks are WAY HOT, but it turns out that they rock too! I love tracks 1,4,6 and 10. This band turns up the heat and I'm hoping for more, more, more.
