4.0 out of 5 stars An aggressively feminist statement, October 27, 2001

By 

Aaron Gangross (Here and There) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paris Sessions (Audio CD)

This album, often referred to as one of the first feminist-themed albums, is perhaps McDonald's most in-your-face work. To this day, he says it still makes him uncomfortable, though he gets many requests for "Sexist Pig." It's not for the faint of heart. "Fantasy," actually written about Glen Campbell's old variety TV show, could be taken as a statement about the treatment of women in American society (which is how I originally understood it to be). Musically this is not even close to being Joe's prettiest album, as he admits. Then again, it is not supposed to be. Note that the songs, although performed by a mostly female band, were composed by a male, which is an important statement in itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars WTF? Where is Movieola?, April 24, 2011

By 

Michael Sober (Auburn, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paris Sessions (Audio CD)

I was thinking about getting a CD version of this album because my album is getting kinda old and I don't want it to have to

take any more abuse etc etc etc. Imagine my amazement when I don't see my favorite song listed. Side one song #2 should be the

classic "Movieola". But where is it? Is it the language? Did the PC people get ahold of it? I'm hoping it's just an oversight

on the listing and is actually on the CD. I won't know because I'm sticking with the album.
