Dionne's description below is sometimes very very accurate. However there are a few catchy tunes and they tend to find themselves at the end of the album, almost as if they laid them down in order and started to figure out their problems. The songs toward the end stop relying too heavily on guitars, get a little poppier, and definitely find some decent hooks. Kliener Dicker Junge is a great little pop song and I have just discovered that it somehow become my top played song on my I-pod. So I would say 1 for the first half and a 3.5 for the second half of the album. Too bad you can't buy half of it:)

Two Lane Blacktop 11. Goodbye Johnny 12. Kleiner Dicker Junge 13. North 14 14. Car Bomb DerbyWith their reform school pouts, Electrocute's Nicole Morier and Holly Doll are the bad girls every son's mother warns them about. Bratty, slutty, and too fast for love, they're like a degenerate version of the B-52's, or Cibo Matto after a stretch in prison. On the surface, Morier and Doll seem unconcerned about who they sound like, or what you might think about them. Troublesome Bubblegum works hard to cultivate that spoiled attitude, and though it desperately wants to seem tossed-off and blasé, the girls-gone-bad hijinks can't hide the obvious skill involved. It may be filtered through a high-tar cigarette, but the production on tracks like "Fun Is A Floppy Bitch" is awfully clever for the trashy tarts Morier and Doll portray. The obvious dichotomy keeps the record interesting well after the raunch and sass have worn thin. Electro has been everywhere for years now, and some might say the bloom is off that particular rose. But genre-blending records like this one show how flexible it can be, and what might yet be squeezed out of it. ?Matthew Cooke
