blind leading the naked this is another classic outing for the femmes,tense ,agitated,pulsing, moody,with a hint of underlying insanity. Cassette has bonus track The cassette has a bonus track called World without mercy that will hopefully be added to the CD one day. More VF Awesomeness I love this cd. . A lot. It's at the low end of the Femmes discography, but it still feels like an endless experiment in diversity. That's pretty impressive, when some of the best music in the past thirty years is some of the Femmes worst. "No Killing" is a fist pumping, relentless anthem. Playful songs like "Breakin' Hearts" and "I Held Her In My Arms" remind me why the Femmes have had such staying power in the hearts of music lovers throughout the world. It may not be their best, but this album rocks. originators This is my favorite femmes album. One of the most original sounding bands ever. Knowone sounds like them. Pioneers of alternative music. Great Once I Listened To It They wanted to give their band more of a mainstream sound and thats what they did. This is definately one of the Femmes' lower records. And when they did it they realized they sounded much better sounding original. Thus came 3 and Why do Birds Sing. Original is good. The first song on this album that I heard was No Killing. Which does have a folk sounding tune in there. I later listened to the whole CD and it is VERY mainstream sounding. At least for the Femmes. When I first listened to this album by the Violent Femmes I was very disappointed. Yet as I listened more and more I really got into such songs as Children of the Revolutin, I Held Her in my Arms, Old Mother Reagen, and mentioned above, No Killing. This is a very good record though and that is why I give it a 4 out of 5. You should buy it. Just give it a chance! .
