CD Description
In the couple of years following the recording of its debut"proper" album, Bikini Kill released three 7-inch singles--NEW RADIO, THE ANTI-PLEASURE DISSERTATION, and I LIKE FUCKING. The first of these finally sees the band getting a sympathetic production, courtesy of Joan Jett (who also contributes a second guitar to the overall sound), that does wonders for it.
All three of the songs are great, including the anthemic call to arms "New Radio" and the band's third, and best, run-through of "Rebel Girl" (which also appeared on YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH and PUSSY WHIPPED). The second single features "In Accordance to Natural Law", a brittle refutation of the band's critics a mere 28 seconds long, and "Anti-Pleasure Dissertation", which sees it move (a little) towards a more pop-oriented sound. From the third single, the best cut is the title track. The (relatively) clean production highlights the crunching guitars and Tobi Vail's drumming, while the lyrics are among Kathleen Hanna's most effective examinations of sexual mores. Though THE SINGLES isn't the best place to start listening to Bikini Kill, the tracks provide an important bridge between its two full-length albums, PUSSY WHIPPED and REJECT ALL AMERICAN.
Customer Reviews
Bikini Kill the Radio Star
It's true that Bikini Kill are not well known for their melodic pop songs, that readily get radio play. But this collection of their greatest hits including the student anthem "Rebel Girl" is a fine representitive of why Bikini Kill are reknown world-wide for being the hottest girl band around. For a huge fan, or for anyone who has never heard of the 'Kill, this album is well worth a listen... go on, release the innner riott grrl !!!
Outstanding
Nine songs, fifteen minutes, the greatest singles collection ever recorded.
Need more? Well, the opening trio, recorded with Joan Jett, are certainly the best-produced BK tracks and are compulsive listening. The downbeat 'The Anti-Pleasure Dissertation' and the riotous 'I Like Fucking' ("Hey! Do you believe there's ANYTHING except troll-guy reality?") are Bikini Kill's best songs. And, like the best bands, they know when they've outstayed their welcome. A short, sharp shock which still sounds fantastic years later and should appeal to all alternative music fans, rather than just riot girls and guys.
