Always did like this CD
I always did like this CD, can't compare to any of their other works-not familiar with it. We've had this CD before and it's more for bringing back the memories.


best femmes album
the teen angst shrieks through the speakers in a witty and funny way. the emotion and passion of the femmes are evident in every song on this album.


Great album, somewhat disappointed
I really wanted Gimme The Car but IT IS NOT ON THE LP release. This is a good album, but I was expecting the two bonus tracks and it came rather late so I gave a 4 star. You should be aware if you are purchasing this on vinyl! This does not have Ugly and Gimme The Car.
All in all, this is probably the best album of the 80s. Gano's angsty lyrics are the teenage soundtrack but he expresses his frustration so much better than the screamo bands of today. Fall Out Boy, Paramore, HIM you know I'm talking about you!.


What can I do? I fall down dead. She'll never see the tears I cry.
How wrong I was. Growing up in the Minneapolis bar and music scene in the 1980s, I thought the only good thing that could come out of Wisconsin was Interstate 94.

The Violent Femmes hit the Prince-saturated live music scene here like a plate of steaming-hot cheese nachos and a Pabst Blue Ribbon. Gordon Gano came from a place and a time where if your girlfriend dumped you, you could get drunk, get high, have a neurotic fit, and not hurt anybody but yourself. Actually, their music is the soundtrack for that kind of activity.

Other reviews complain that the Femmes could never top this album. Then, again, I think few bands could. Remember, the Femmes have put up four genuine rock and roll anthems like "Add it Up", "Blister in the sun", "Gone Daddy Gone", and "American Music".

Let's not criticize the perfection of the first album in light of the imperfections of the following works.

This is a must-buy collection of indigenous American folk-punk. I am pleased to see from all the reviews that it has found it's rightful place in American music history. Even if it did come from Wisconsin. .


An 80's Classic
I don't know of anyone who grew up in the 80's and hasn't heard this CD - it's a classic, pure and simple.
