Go For the Explicit Version While there are some awesome tracks- namely "Extraordinary" and "Rock Me" which need not be edited, overall the explicit record is a more complete experience and the way this record was intended to be listened to. Though this is a rock solid pop album with excellent songs, it is hard to have the entire experience of a Liz Phair record that has been edited.
Very good
Liz Phair's voice is pretty. Let me start off by saying the clean version is just as good without the explicit content and lyrics. My favorite songs are Extraordinary, Red Light Fever, and Why Can't I. This album is soothing and flowing without any foul language, or bad songs. I'd recommend this cd to anyone who'd rather have a good, clean version of this instead of explicit.
Why so huffy?
This is a great album and I'm glad Liz has decided to shake free of the we're-so-cool snobbery that pollutes the indie music scene. The review in the NY Times for this CD read like a letter from a kid in junior high to the person who just broke up with them. I'm surprised that people can take such offense from an individual making artistic and business decisions that serve her own best interests. The indignant reaction is likened to the way people got all huffy when the Dixie Chick's singer criticized Bush. If Liz Phair buys into this criticism, she'll be selling out. At this point, she's doing what she wants to do by kicking off the dreary dust of artistic martyrdom and trying to make some cash. Liberate Liz; buy this disc!.
DO NOT BUY CLEAN VERSION...
Liz Phair censored is like a car with no gas. Do not buy this. First off the whole song of H. W. C. is gone, which was a great song. I can't even imagine the rest of the songs and how they got butchered. Just buy the Explicit version. . so what she says F*ck once or twice. Please. So get out now and buy the real thing.
Liz...Liz...Liz.....
Such a fine artist has chosen now to wade in the end of shallowness. Liz's latest album is practicably intolerable. A huge admirer of her previous work, this album is pathetic. Only a handful of well written tracks that resemble the talented Liz that we know of are present out of the 14 on this record. The rest sound like the worst 1980's metal band you could ever imagine. Very sad indeed.
