Title: SK's best album and one of the best of the last few years
Review: I'm older than Corin Tucker or Carrie Brownstein, and I grew up in the late '80s on such great pre-Nirvana alternative bands as Husker Du and Fugazi. Forget all the riot-grrrl hype, this is a great punk rock album for the same reasons that the aforementioned bands ruled - solid songwriting, solid and chunky riffs and hooks mixed with stripped-down but solid punk sound, and pure passion. And you'd never guess that the lineup here is two guitarists and no bassist, because Corin and Carrie work so well together to make such a solid sound.Easily one of my top 10 albums of the last few years, and SK hasn't quite matched it since; in fact, DIG ME OUT, their next album, just plain blows (in fact, I gave it a one-star review on the Amazon site), while THE HOT ROCK has a few good songs but isn't the masterpiece that CALL THE DOCTOR is.
Is the review positive or negative?
