I'm currently listening to the Vivian Girls' (Girls's?) new LP "Everything Goes Wrong" which came out today...err, well technically yesterday. This album is definitely fun and pure chick rock.
It oozes riot grrrl and raw "Kathleen Hanna totally inspired this" power. The problem with this album, and often times with this kind of music, is that most songs sound very similar to each other, as much as I want female rockers to kick serious ass and be unique. I can barely tell if there are 13 songs on here or just one really, really long one. It's like a musical equivalent to Jonas Brother eyebrows; you just can't tell if there are two or one.
You could either find this album really annoying or really f'in awesome.
Personally, I find it to be borderline both. I definitely could not listen to this entire album again in one sitting. This is one of those albums needed in small doses, when you're feeling like you're ready to put on some Doc Martens and maybe mosh a little bit.
With some tweaking, Vivian Girls could be half of what Bikini Kill was, but that's a pretty unreachable feat.
Favorite song: "Can't Get Over You"
Least favorite song: "Survival"
