Genre: PUNK

Somewhat poppier than their previous album, Bricks Are Heavy still features the abrasive guitar riffs and punk inflections that gained L7 their following. "Pretend We're Dead" was the major hit from this album, and is the most commercial song of the lot; songs like "Wargasm", "Everglade", and "Slide" are aggressive, roaring rockers. While "Diet Pill" and "This Ain't Pleasure" emphasize the group's feminist slant, this takes a backseat to their music, which is the main reason to pick up this album. L7 isn't women who play rock and roll; it's a rock and roll band that happens to be made up of women. --Genevieve Williams

1. This is NOT a T-Shirt ignoring that.. it's L7's Bricks are Heavy RED vinyl album from 2014.

2. Why is it called Betty Boop - Army Boop Adult T-Shirt in White I have no idea.

Album cover was / is in perfect shape. The Vinyl is a bit warped but not so it affect's play. The warp is long not short so no bumpy roads here just up and down. It is a floppy vinyl so no 180 g here and I've seen some floppy's floppies listed as 180 g (a Madonna album is in play on that) smh What else can I say.. Sh**list has never sounded so good. Even if Juliette lewis once got on stage hopping mad , but that would be totally her to do so. :) I like Pretend We're Dead , but 2 songs SH88list and Warga** are flip off songs so more often than not when a company makes my sh**list I think this song, likely were I came up with the name. And I'm sure it's been around alot longer than this song. And they have fun even now on stage. Never hear much about Cycle sl*** From Hell. And L7 supposedly from Madison WI originally. How much of that is true I don't know but as far as this album is concerned that name comes up often. Some of it was recorded there. We tended to visit Madison still at that time as a family. I actually wouldn't be surprised if I bought it there because there was this cd / vinyl store not far from UW-Madison that sold fun albums :) I got the cd then. I don't think they had a Vinyl til 2014 but I could be very wrong. Enjoy it. put your head through a wall and have fun :)

I saw L7 many years ago in a club and I liked their sound and their attitude. Heard songs from this cd on my local college radio station, and had to pick it up. L7 is one hell of a band and they kick. If you have not heard them, get this cd.

L7 hits their peak

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015

Their best album, featuring songs like their hit 'Pretend were dead' as well as scorchers like 'Wargasm', 'Slide', 'Everglade' and 'Sh*tlist'. These ladies prove you don't have to be a man to be metal. And their damn good at it as well. Power metal/punk with nothing feminine about it except the band, of course. I think I know one of them, but I've never been sure if that's the same Jennifer Finch or not. That you, Jenna? I might never know.

Raw Pulsing Beat

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2015

L7s best- raw gritty lyrics set to a pounding beat- you can listen to it in the background- you can listen to it running around- you can dance to it upon the ground- you will really like this sound. Feel their rage. Whether it's real or simulated emotion it's worth listening to. You may remember them from the movie Serial Mom. Classic music.

L7 hits hard. This is one of my favorites. With tracks like Wargasm, S*** List and Pretend We're Dead - they say a lot of the things I feel. Their steel beat makes you want to jump! Get this!

Angry, female-led 90s grunge that still sounds as good now as it did then.

A great album with a darker tone. Very intriguing sound and lots of anger on this particular record. Contains some of their lesser known tracks too.

British fans of the feminist Riot Grrl movement will, or indeed, should know that its taken a good while for this pretty underground phenominon to reach our shores and get anywhere near the level of recognition it should.
L7, along with the likes of Bikini Kill, Babes In Toyland, Luna Chicks have been battering away at their guitars and rambling into mic's about the life of your average everyday riot grrl for a good few years with only a few of us finely tuned individuals paying much attention.
Bricks Are Heavy is a worthwhile album to have in your collection, "Shitlist" is a fantastic hard hitting song (also from the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack) which really captures the mood you need for sum grrly rock. This album does however have a few really weak areas in songs such as "One More Thing" and "No Integrity". You get the feeling L7 had all the balls but not much originality when it came to their music so you can get the feeling the album as a whole musically isnt as developed as it could be. I would suggests for beginners to to the scene to listen to Bikini Kill's "Pussy Whipped" or Babes In Toyland's "To Mother" before investing in this album because the joy is found more in the message than the musical content here and we wouldn't want to put you off!
