5.0 out of 5 stars No Way!, November 10, 1999

By	T. Lafreniere (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The other review doesn't give this cd any justice! On this one, the gals were inspired by Horton Heat and you can hear that in the music. This is a really fun cd. No matter what the song is, Theo gets the vocals right on. Unlike some screaming, eardrum-piercing bands, Lunachicks are musically right on. I love them!

5.0 out of 5 stars tops, July 31, 2004

By	bogalousa stinks (deep south, USA) - See all my reviews

after years of listening to all the lunachicks albums, i have concluded that this is the best one. even though my three favorite lunachicks songs do not grace it, this entire album makes me want to dance and/or sing. it is the cleanest, smoothest, most consistent lunachicks album. i beleive i love every song equally. genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got any Advil, Got any Chocolate....?!!, July 7, 2003

By	Pamela Scarangello (Middletown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I possess all 5 of the Lunachicks' studio CDs and I think this one tops them all. To me, "Pretty Ugly" marks the group reaching their absolute creative peak. Every female should have this album; the Lunachicks, in general, are one of the few hard rock groups that DO NOT sound like Avril Lavigne, Liz Phair or Lillix. They are fun, sometimes crude, and can't be taken seriously. I really don't have favorite songs on here, but if I was asked to pick any, I would probably choose "The Day Squid's Gerbal Died," "Dear Dolli" and the instumental "MMM...Donuts." With the group's hilarious lyrics, hyperactive guitar rock and in-your-face views on women's issues, "Pretty Ugly" is an audio powder keg. In addition, not alot of their songs involve being sexually attractive to men; instead their lyrics (on this album, anyway) are about watching T.V., writing to advice columns, the indulgences of snack food, transexuals, and every girl's favorite...PMS. Certainly, I can't think of any other collection of songs featuring a comatose old man dressed in a tutu, a dog chasing a gerbal, a kung fu tomboy OR a 35-year-old man-child crying in his own diaper! Get this album while you still can; it's a rock and roll gem!
Beware: not to be bought by shallow MTV watchers or members of the elderly.
