Classic There's as much going on musically as there is lyrically. A Classic album intelligently written. Love this album.
Whip-Smart
I have to skip tracks alot to keep from going insane! All in all, there's still about 5 songs that I really love on the CD. I remember this from way back, but the songs aren't like I remember them to have been.
stands the test of time
Her voice overall sounds very cool on this album. The song "Nashville" off this album still gives me goosebumps each time I hear it. "Whip Smart" is also a really fun track. I got this in late 1995 as a promo when I worked for a college paper and I still have it in my collection! It's probably the only CD that has survived that long, and I just downloaded it to my itunes -- no scratches, all these years later! thanks Liz! (cool album jacket too). .
"And nobody sparkles like you..."
Liz Phair is a genius. I bought this album about three years ago and to this day whip-smart is still my favorite album. Her song-writing is incredible, her voice a relentless pitbull, and her image, a true reniassance. All the songs I love, especially Nashville, Go West, and the album closer, May Queen.
A lot of people think she sold out with her later albums but hey a girl's gotta get paid. Exile in Guyville is considered her masterpiece, and i think it's a great album but for me, whip-smart is her masterpiece. Totally under-rated, this album has smart lyrics and great guitar playing. You can decide for yourself but Whip-smart is one cd that will never be used as a coaster.
Rockin' -- I dig it :)
Since there are plenty of persons out there happy to be wordy about it, I'll keep this brief.
I find Liz's music to be good fun and entertaining. Love it!.
