My Personal Favorite, October 26, 2004
Babes In Toyland isn't my favorate band, but this is definitely my favorite album ever. I've had it for a while now and it's my most listened to cd. Kat is screaming her ass off most of the time, but that mixed with her dissonent guitar playing and Lori's wild drum beat(there's a crazy beat throughout "Dust Cake Boy") makes for some great listening. There's some great sort of twangy guitar work in "Swamp Pussy" and "Lashes." My favorite song on here has to be "Fork Down Throat" because of Kat's hardcore growls and screams. What I most adore about this album is the writing. It's hard to tell what she is saying most of the time so i used the internet for lyrics.Here's how I rated this album:
1. Swamp Pussy - 10/10 great guitar work, love the lyrics
2. he's my thing- 6/10 I liked the video version a lot better, but it's still kind of lame
3. vomit heart- 10/10 Great Song!
4. never- 10/10 I love the band at the beginning and end of this song, it sounds so trashy!
5.boto(w)rap- 7/10 the band sounds great and i love the lyrics, but Kat's voice doesn't compare to the rest and there's a chord pattern that's too repetitive.
6.dogg- 9/10 Lori is actually a very good singer, and Kat's guitar sounds a little scary
7.pain in my heart- 6/10 kind of boring...
8. lashes- 7/10 it's a little cheesy but the guitar sounds great
9. you're right- 10/10 I love the bass line on this song!
10.dust cake boy- 10/10 probably the fastest with the most yelling
11. Fork Down Throat- 10/10 My favorite Babes in Toyland song by far, i love what Kat's voice can do in this song, and it has her best guitar solo on this album!

Although their masterpiece is "Fontanelle", this certainly contains enough vicious attacks on the eardrums, estrogen, and twisted melodies (?) to satisfy one's appetite. Highly recommended. Get it now before it goes out of stock (again!).

Vomit my heart, November 25, 2005
This is the CD that got me hooked. Heart, soul, mean, screaming, poetry, wild instrument playing. I bought Fontanelle first, but it was a little too polished to really get to the grit of the band. Even though the sound on this is way too quiet, all of the songs are passionate with rage. For a first album, Babes really prove that they have what it takes to make music.
~The Songs~
1. SWAMP PUSSY- crazy guitar and great lyrics "cease to exist"
2. HE'S MY THING- nice possessive song
3. VOMIT HEART- some of the best lyrics here
4. NEVER- no one says it better than Kat, all little girls should listen to this song
5. BOTO WRAP- insane drum beat and slurred screams
6. DOGG- Lori sings on this one; her deep voice contrasts to Kat's shrill screams, both equally as jarring
7. PAIN IN MY HEART- Love this song! kind of directed toward a boyfriend or towards her mother "why did you leave me when I was still inside of you"
8. LASHES- another favorite, comparing a business man to a brick with cracked mortar, have to laugh at that
9. YOU'RE RIGHT- nothing memorable comes to mind; a bridge between two great songs
10. DUST CAKE BOY- Kat really proves her voice in this song, nice guy hate song "take your small eyes away from me"
11. FORK DOWN THROAT- gutsy ending to a gritty album
