Title: Energy, yes -- skill, no
Review: I usually fault groups for lack of passion or energy. Well, Ms. Hagen certainly has energy, perhaps even passion (though this does not translate well due to the language barrier). But the sound would appeal most to adolescents, busy music and vocals with little focus. Put another way, she can't carry a tune and the tune itself doesn't carry you. Mostly I fault myself after hearing the cover of "white punks on dope" and thinking I'd get more of the same. I got the reverse effect, "the same" ended up tainting "white punks" in my head so I can't stand either and will sell this CD, used. Oh well.
Is the review positive or negative?
