The hard rockin', tough talkin' Bif Naked returns with Superbeautifulmonster, a solid stream of catchy tracks made even better by her super-strong vocals. Opening with the primal "Abandonment", her fourth full-length studio release immediately shows that the classic Bif trademarks of deeply personal lyrics sung to a forceful melody are still very much in place. Bif Naked fans tend to fit into two categories: those who like her pop hits ("Daddy's Getting Married," "Spaceman") and the metalheads who like to see her rawk out. Her current CD contains enough diversity to please pop and R&B audiences, however fans of her harder music will be especially pleased with the guitar-driven rock. The disc's first single, the Sum 41-esque "Let Down" is a whimsical tale of a perpetual family failure, while the contemplative "Everyday" is a story of gratitude destined to be a lighter-in-the-air hit at her live show. The only cover tune on the disc proves to be a great surpise: the Metallica classic "Nothing Else Matters" which Bif handles with grace and strength. Before Gwen Stefani became a household name, before Amy Lee showcased her powerhouse lungs, Bif Naked proved unequivocally that alterna-rock women can tackle tough subjects bravely. She's dealt with everything from rape to abortion to abuse--all set to great, harder-edged music. Superbeautifulmonster proves that she hasn't lost her touch, only gained experience and momentum. --Denise Sheppard --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Bif!, October 10, 2005

By	Marius Cipolla - See all my reviews

Raised by wolves, tattooed from head to foot, Bif is a secret that is getting out fast. A lot of the material on this album is pure pop, but Bif delivers with a conviction that is scary. She sings like her salvation depends on it, like nothing else matters, and that puts her in a different world from slyer products like Gwen Stefani. She has the instant-appeal songwriting genius of an Avril Lavigne, but the extra decade of tough living makes her much more interesting to older listeners, with reminsicences of Siouxsie, Blondie, Shirley Manson and Chrissie Hynde. She has more humour than any of these, though.

Superbeautifulmonster is even better than I, Bificus and I hope her record company gets behind her and catapults her to the stardom she deserves. Great stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Miss Naked! The true follow-up to "I Bificus"., December 31, 2005

By	M J Heilbron Jr. "Dr. Mo" (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Bif Naked finally makes the proper follow-up to "I Bificus".

Here we find all the vastly entertaining pop-punk-rock-alternative music she displayed on THAT record.

You have the urgent, desperate rock tunes, the aching ballads, the seductive mid-tempo songs...all well produced, with intelligent, clever lyrics.

The musicianship is top-notch, with her powerful vocals leading the way.

If you loved "Bificus", this is a no-brainer.

Welcome back, Miss Naked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biffy's Back!, December 14, 2005

By	Scott D. Nelson "www.sewerden.com" (South Bend, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bif Naked does it again with another fantastic album! This woman never ceases to amaze me with the way her music continues to evolve. She's been doing this for quite some time now, and she literally just keeps getting better. I keep waiting for that Bif Naked album that comes out that I don't think is every bit as good as the previous one and then some. "Superbeautifulmonster" doesn't change that trend.

"Let Down" is an amazing song about the 30-somethings that finish school and live in their parent's basement. Not only is it a great song, but the lyrics are particularly timely to a growing situation here in the States.

"That's Life" is one of my all-time favorite Bif songs. "I Want" and "Henry" are my other favorite tracks on this album.

Bif is often referred to as a sort of "modern-day-Joan-Jett". I think it's a reasonable analogy to her style. For those who might not have sampled Bif's work before, my recommendation is to start with her "Essentially Naked" album - if for no other reason than it has the kick-a $ $ track "Rich & Filthy"!!
