I 1st caught Ms. Young back in 93, when she fronted Waterworks (find their CD too,self titled) at Mississippi Nights in the STL area. WOW. was I blown away, and have been ever since. She is a true original, you'll either get her or you won't. Not only is this a cd that's all over the place musically, it's also consistantly great. Stand out traxs are "Sweetest Freedom", "PE 9.14" and the wailing in "Marley's Ghost", which are amazing. Go and see Ms. Young live if she comes to your town, be prepared for a unique treat. Words cannot express how her and her voice can command a stage, & she'll NEVER bore you. ALL of her cd's are gems, find them and devour em.
I'll drop almost anything to go and catch her live. And I will give her this, it doesn't matter how many people are in the venue, she plays like it's packed and gives 110% (like at the old Cicero's when NOBODY was there). That's a trait I've always admired in her for not many artists will do that.
She is one artist that I have force-fed to numerous people with no regrets.
Go KY! Hope u return to STL soon.

This is the only CD I have ever seen by Miss Young although I have heard there are others. I want them if they are out there because this one totally took me by surprise and I have yet to hear anyone else like her. I've heard the words Goth and Industrial associated with her (Goth I can kind of see) but the bottom line is that she writes really good songs and presents them with an intensity that grabs you immediately. I check out Amazon every once in a while to see if any of her other CDs (if they are in fact out there) have become available. In an age of musical fluff and flash Miss Young was true to her muse and created something truly original.

That's about the closest I can come to defining Kristeen Young's album. Loud, agressive music, but there's no guitar, which kind of breaks the image of rock and gothic that we have. Nonetheless, Young is far and away talented enough to pull it off.

Really, this one is a must for any ecstacy or gothic fan, Young is peak of either genre.

This CD is really good! its a must for industrial and gothic fans everywhere.
