Balancing Act
Myself, I more appreciate the rock 'n' roll Donnas. If you appreciate both the punk rock Donnas and the rock 'n' roll Donnas, then you'll love this album. This is a "tongue-in-cheek" greatest hit album as it features new cuts combined with remakes, remixes, alternate takes and live cuts. I think there might be a couple of original, previously released songs. I was a little stunned by the live versions of "Take It Off" and "Fall Behind Me" that appear on the album. It's not like they weren't good, but were performed almost identical to the studio version and a little pedestrian. The highlights of the album are the 2009 remakes featuring Brett Anderson's more mature, driving vocals. "You Make Me Hot" is my favorite cut and features an additional guitar lick from Allison Robertson that was not present on the original version. At 2:29, however, they missed a great opportunity to add a couple of verses and make this excellent tune last a little longer.


I Love these chicks !!!!
This is the first CD of theirs that I've bought and it DOES NOT dissappoint !! Hard rockin' broads who know how to sing and play their instruments. I love these chicks. Every song rocks.


The Donnas Do Have Hits
Really good stuff here. The new tracts, B sides and oldies sound great. What can you say about The Donnas except they are way way underrated!.


great stuff


Since they are one of the rare groups that have managed to grow and improve as they got older, it makes sense that in addition to later tracks they have re-recorded a few. The Donnas were always a great singles group so it is about time that they released a best of set. Indeed their early output has aged quite a bit since they were quite a sensation on the band circuit and the overhaul feels nice.

This is a group also that produced its best work late, and indeed you see that the material from spend the night has aged best.


The Donnas Rule!!
I've been a huge Donnas fan since 2001 when I first heard Spend The Night. I couldn't wait for this to come out and I wasn't disappointed. The new songs are awesome (especially Perfect Stranger) and I really like the live versions of Take It Off and Fall Behind Me. Yeah, they don't sound too much different than the studio version, but they're still cool.

The best part of this, though, is how they redid a lot of their older songs. You Make Me Hot and Get Rid Of That Girl (my favorites of the redos) sound so much heavier and ballsier than the originals. If you're a Donnas fan, you probably already have this. If not, I highly recommend it (and all of their other stuff for that matter!). Chicks that rock rule!! .
