I especially like Free Kitten cuz I've (reluctantly) got so SICK of Sonic Youth taking themselves so gosh-darn SERIOUS. I can't help but compare them to SY since FK features SY-er Kim Gordon. Kim and her (also from other bands) co-horts in Free Kitten make slap-dash music that isn't very original, and is NOT polished, but, it's fun, and to me, in some ways, is almost a girl version of the Beastie Boys, when it comes to musical 'tude. SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION adds variety to the FK mix with its extended jams/instrumentals, which give the punky girls-in-a-garage numbers even more impact and punch! Their cover of "Teeny Weenie Boppy" is so sassy and fun. Recommended if rough edges have more staying power for you than polished studio slick-osities..

I really love this album! It's fun, catchy and hip. It has a little bit of everything, punk, rock, avant garde experimentations and attitude. At times it's sounds a cross between sonic youth, pavement and ... galore,in which 3 three members are from,the 4th member is from the Boredoms, but I guess you probably already know this. If your a fan of these bands you will probably like this. Action-packed it also features a track mix by D.J spooky.

An outstanding album where most songs would be excellent singles by themselves but the whole thing is a brilliant total whole. pop to avant-garde noise jammin' . Kill Rock Stars catalogue said it was the best lp of 1997 & it's certainly 1 of the best of the 90s in general. Will sound fresh in 1000 years time. no top 40 sleaze here, it's all real expression. Kim, Julie, Yoshimi & Mark haven't made a followup to this yet but I'm awaiting 1 anxiously.
