5 out of 5 stars Rounds out the edges..........2007-01-05

Wow, a lot of reviewers have had a lot to say about this one. Well, I'm not going to say a lot because so much has already been said, just know that as far as scores go, this is one of the best, and even though I really wanted another hard rock/techno infused powerhouse of an album, the few songs provided by Pale 3 and Juno Reactor are enough to satisfy me (In My Head is just freaking awesome). Don Davis is genius here and provides a beautifully written piece of work that will burrow itself inside your head and stay with you. The final track Navras is reason enough to own this perfect compliment to a highly regarded franchise and serves as a nice way to round out this trilogy, not only of film but of music.

5 out of 5 stars Unique, Original, Definitive!.......2006-08-18

There is a lot to rave about regarding Don Davis' work on the Matrix scores, but the clearest and most appropriate compliment would be to attest to their uniqueness. He did not find the right sound for the film; he invented a completely new sound. That this new sound was also the right sound--the only right sound--is what beckons the listener to pay attention. This is not music for every occasion; it want lull your baby to sleep. But when the moment is right, and you are in the right mood, it is an experience like no other.

Whereas the score to Reloaded was a techno-feat that was pure fun, this score establishes deeper orchestral roots that take it to a more refined, emotional level. Listen to the many places to which the listener travels: the frenetic chaos of the action cues, the solemnity of the elegies, the operatic tidal wave of the full chorus, and the sublimity of the film's denouement. Each is united into a unique and altogether representative symphony that has come not just to underline the Matrix universe but to utterly define it.

Three cheers for Don Davis, with the unavoidable question: why don't you score more films?

5 out of 5 stars Perfection!.......2006-04-02

This score is absolutely astounding in every way. To say that it's musically complex is an understatement - it's often difficult and intricate to such a level that hasn't been seen much before or to such an extent - but unlike a lot of other complex and dissonant works, Revolutions is also so enjoyable and exciting thanks to it's ongoing energy and the sheer perfection of the music itself. Davis' tone for this movie and for the whole franchise has been spot on, which in itself is difficult to achieve, however, whereas the previous two scores incorporated a lot of techno riffs and beats, Revolutions thankfully allocates far more time to the orchestral elements, with only a few cues incorporating techno. I think this was wise; whereas in the first two movies, the techno element helped to contribute to that overall `cool' and `stylish' feel, by the time of the third movie, I feel the whole shiny black leather and cool shades image was quickly becoming cheesy and satirised and a back to basics, orchestral approach was far more appropriate.

Not that Davis delivered anything basic, far from it! As already mentioned the level of musical complexity is impressive and as it is, sounds unlike scores you may have heard before, a perfect and distinct sound for a distinct franchise. The tone here is generally dissonant and harsh with two predominant choirs in the music, strings and brass, with warm woodwinds pushed right into the background except for a few choice moments. This, along with the actual nature of the music, helps to create a sense of conflict between the two, which obviously suits the movie.

Despite its atonality, Revolutions is also often surprisingly melodic and unexpectedly produces some of the finest examples in film music of beautiful, uplifting and majestic moments. The love theme hinted at in Matrix Reloaded is given the full treatment here in Trinity Definitely and it is stunning - it's simple but achingly beautiful and effective and it's hard to imagine anything else fitting the scene so perfectly. Revolutions also gives the best rendition of the Main Titles so far with the now famous brass crescendo, wave effect perfectly complimented by the orchestration and leading into an exciting rhythm and chord progression. This alternating brass effect is such a neat and clever little motif and perfectly encapsulates the dreamy, warped sense of reality theme of the movie(s) - we're so used to the idea of a memorable melody or hook defining a franchise or representing the main themes and characters that I find it refreshing that such a simple technique can have exactly the same effect.

However, it is the action cues that impress the most and there are lots of them. It's very rare that you can say music is genuinely thrilling and exhilarating but from the exciting going to war cue Men in Metal right through to the score's epic highlight Neodammerung, the score never lets up in its energy, excitement and invention - the only other score I can think of that contains so many action cues but manages to keep them all fresh and exhilarating is Shearmur's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and it must be so difficult to achieve but Davis manages it here seemingly effortlessly. Niobe's Run is exciting and frightening and gives the sense of being chased; Moribund Mifune is great `race against time' music; Saw Bitch Workhorse is un-relentlessly dissonant building to an almighty crescendo and Neodammerung is operatic and very classical sounding, with the truly immense choir singing over a simple chord progression and layered with timpani, constantly swirling strings and high woodwinds and the rest of the orchestra playing at top volume - it's breathless, absolutely perfect for the movie's big showdown and gives way to some great moments of the brass motif. It all ends with the glorious Spirit of the Universe, a wonderfully pastoral and uplifting contrast to all that's preceded it and gives a wonderful sense of a new dawn in utopia.

It's surprising just how good this score is, every cue perfectly compliments and augments the scenes they are accompanying whilst still being so enjoyable to listen to away from the movie - Davis manages to maintain this superior level of writing at all times with hardly any dull moments (at least in the fully orchestral cues anyway). The Matrix Revolutions is certainly an important achievement in film scoring not to mention Davis' career and is one of the best examples of modern action scoring if not one of the best in the genre, it's thrilling and always impressive, a master class in counterpoint, orchestration and musical development and above all, a highly enjoyable listen. Perfection.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking.......2005-01-12

While opinions on the movie of the same name are all over the map, one thing everyone agrees on is the incredible musical score to "The Matrix Revolutions" (warning: This review contains spoilers to the movie, so read with caution)

The Matrix Revolutions main title: The always haunting musical opening to the movie. Very good

The trainman cometh: Starts off gentle and happy, with Neo talking to Sati and her family. Calm, relaxing music plays while they talk, before beats start to come in, transfering to a frantic chase that goes along at breakneck speed in a fast beat.

Tetsujin: A quiet start with a foreboding Asian beat hints that its not all fun and games here. After a quick Asian beat down, we get some quiet harp and bean shakers. And then it's an all out war as electronic beats pulse while our heroes blast the oposition to smithereens.

In my Head: The only song on this track (thank goodness), this is actually quite catchy. I'll never be a fan of rock n roll, but this track is quite fun. Heavy on electronic insturments and only mild vocals, its a memorable song.

The road to sourceville: A quiet start shattered by a fast vocal, followed by quiet happy music as Neo is reunited with Trinity, then slow atmosphere while they visit the oracle for the last time.

Men in Metal: As the battle draws ever nearer, the war insturments (drums and such) begin to play as the soldiers prepare for the inevitable battle. A rousing speach gives them strength. This track is heavy on preparation music, and uses it well.

Niobies run: Quiet and atmospheric as Niobie and the others head closer to the tunnel, the music indicating the uneasiness as they try to slip past the sentinels. But of course they get spotted. Then its an all out frantic race as they zoom deep into the earth to try and escape with thier lives. In the Zion dock there's a few seconds of final preparation before the grim fighting begins. This track is heavy on "race for your life!" music.

Woman can drive: Things get desperate as the battle to save Zion continues. Niobie struggles to pilot the hammer to safety while being attacked non-stop. This track features more frantic racing and fighting music with drum beats.

Morbid Mifune: Pure war. This track excellently captures the horror and the hopelessness of the dock battle. The humans are doomed, but they keep fighting. With quick military beats and haunting vocals, this is a standout track. My favorite moment begins when the music is loud and filled with military beats as we see Mifune fighting for his life. As the kid tries to get ammo to him, the music truly shows how hopeless everything is, while also showing the will to keep fighting and not give up. A quiet military beat follows with the death of Mifune.

Kidfried: Thundering blasts as the Hammer closes in on Zion, followed by haunting vocals, and a standout moment where the Hammer zooms into Zion, where the music is heavy and quick and the vocals compete with quick beats as the end of the frantic race is in sight. Then all is quiet and calm as the first battle is won.

Saw B***h workhorse (what an odd name): The gloom of the real world shows itself as Neo and Trinity head towards the machine city. When they reach it's borders, heavy beats and ominous vocals give the feeling on huge bemoths guarding its borders. Yet hope remains among the chaos as we witness the wonder of Neo's power. A strong and gloomy (yet hopeful) track.

Trinity definitly: Out of all the tracks in all the matrix movies, this one stands out among the others. Its a pure musical track, with no electronic enhancments, no fancy beats, nothing. It's simply sad, quiet orchestra music. As Trinity lies dying within the Logos, Don Davis does a standout job of conveying the sadness of her death. I actually cried a little when I first heard this one because it's so sad, yet at the same time, dignified. It has an identity all its own because its so different from the music we've heard before. A standout track.

Neodammerung: If there was ever a contest to determine the best one on one fight music ever made, this would be in the top three. It's the apacolypse mixed in with heavy dramatic beats as two foes fight to the death, each carrying incredible power. You can really feel the dramatic wieght contanined within each beat as Neo and Smith face each other for the final time. The haunting vocals adds so much to the experience that its impossible to imagine the music withought them. When the two take to the skies, the music increases in drama and epic scope as the two fight high above the ground. Then theres the final moment where the two head straight towards each other, readying for the final blow that will determine the fight. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

Why Mr. Anderson?: As Smith stands over the beaten Neo, he asks him why he does it. The music is sad and curious. The end is near. We can feel that Neo is beaten and how exhausted he is. A final brief fight commences before Smiths raw power and fury shows itself through quick and hard beats. Then the music swells in triumph as Smith is finally defeated before quietly drifting into nothing as "it is done"

Spirit of the universe: Happiness is mingled with sadness in this track. Everything is happy, yet the sad vocals appear when Neo's body is taken away. Then the music slowly swells upwards as the end arrives. Everything is over and finished. Then the music finally swells one last time as the sun rises in a big happy moment.

Navras: Fantastic vocals (male and female) really define this track as just about every insturment comes into play here. Drums, australian digery doos, pianos, electronic beats, and flute music comes into play for one grand finale of music. Truley stunning, and tied with Neodammerung as best track on the CD.

In my humble opinion, the third matrix movie has the best music of the entire trilogy. It's hard edgy no-nonsense action music, untainted by unnecessary songs. It's all insturmental and hard hitting, making it a truley magnificant soundtrack that I listen to almost everyday. A truly worthy buy.

5 out of 5 stars MIND BLOWING.......2004-12-12

I have not bought this CD yet... and I am not really a matrix fan however, my boyfriend is. On this cd, the song Navras made my boyfriend cry because of all the emotion that song brings. It is truely a good sound track and I cant wait to get it for him for christmas. If you love hard beats and soft strings this is the CD for you!

Album Description

A Funk Classic Remastered With Bonus Tracks

Jet magazine called him "one of rhythm & blues' most influential musicians." With a career spanning 40 years, Johnny "Guitar" Watson had success with blues, R&B and jazz. But his commercial and artistic apex came with his late '70s and early '80s funk recordings. Shout! Factory is proud to present three deluxe new editions of his classic funk albums - Ain't That A Bitch, A Real Mother For Ya and Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty - as part of an ongoing series in 2005 and early 2006.

Previously Unreleased Bonus Tracks: 8. Funkula 9. Follow Me

After his hugely successful late-'60s partnership with Larry Williams ("Mercy, Mercy, Mercy"), Watson had a few fallow years. But in 1976 he hit his stride with Ain't That A Bitch, a potent combination of funk rhythms, jazz keyboards and stinging blues guitar. The album made the pop charts and reached #4 on the Black charts, spurred by the success of the single "Superman Lover," which has been sampled numerous times by hip-hop acts like Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Redman.

THIS IS THE BEST JOHNNY "GUITAR" WATSON ALBUM EVER! I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS AROUND 7, MY MAMA WOULD WEAR THIS ONE OUT! I HAD TO HAVE IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO MUSIC TODAY THAT IS COMPARABLE TO THE REAL MUSIC OF THE 70'S!

5 out of 5 stars Funk Doesn't Get Much Better Then This.......2005-10-18

James Brown invented it,Sly,George Clinton and Bootsy embellished it and Chaka Khan BELTED it out but Johnny Guitar Watson made the funk all his own,starting with this 1976 album.Johhny sticks his ingenious blues guitar licks to this set of funk of R&B of his his creation.In fact outside of horns and drums he played all the instrumetns and very well too.Besides his songwriting on the jumpy opener "I Need It" is almost sing-a-long in quality while in the meantime "Superman Lover" and the title song are just plain classic grooves.The slower grooves are where the real meat has to be judged and on the well produced,keyboard laden 'ballads 'We're No Exception" and "Won't You Forgive Me Baby" Johnny passes the test with flying colors,proving he can more then deliver a complete album package.As for the bonus cuts?Lol THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALBUM CUTS AT LEAST!!!!"Funkula" is so powerfully funky and catchy it would surely become one of his classics and I could easily see an R&B radio station even spinning the likeminded instrumental "Follow Me".Whoever chose these fantastic bonus cuts knew what they were doing and I cannot wait for more Johnny Guitar Watson reissues in the coming months!

1 out of 5 stars Da Saddest B****.......2007-02-07

I remember when I first heard heard Trina I couldnt help but wonder what was people's fascination with her? So what she makes raunchy records, the girl couldnt rap her way out of a flavored condom plus she sounds like a hood version of Edith from All In The Family. From where I from Trina is the most overrated female ever. This album is concrete proof of that statement. The first single The Baddest B**** is so cheesy it makes you wonder how this song became a hit. Pull Over , Off The Chain Wit it, Off Glass and I Dont Need You are extra cheesy to the point you might get constipated from the first listen. Other disposables: The Big Lick(Blah), Aint S***(a female version Of Dr. Dre's B***es Aint S***. How original), I'll Always(super stale plus she should be sued for screwing up Ronald Isley's Voyage To Atlantis), Watch Yo Back and the rest of this album.
Bottom Line: Trina's Da Baddest B**** is the worst female rap album next to the Notorious K.I.M. and Thug Misses. The beats suck, her lyrics sound like they were conceived in the mind of a tweenager and her voice is as painful as scratching a chalkboard with your fingernails. Lyrics like /Sisqo made that song/ when he seen me in a thong th th th thong show you that she puts the corn in corny! Da Baddest B**** more like Da Saddest B****!

1 out of 5 stars I feel like throwin' up.......2005-08-21

A full review doesn't make too much sense considering the album cover and title. I never heard the whole album since I bought this in 2000, when I was still naive to the dirty south. I was a fan of scarface and outkast, I love miami so I gave this a try. I hated it then and I hate it now. I never got past the first 6 pieces of ear poison(notice I didn't say songs). Cause this isnt music. I know I said it before, but why would any woman want to consider herself a bitch? How could any woman enjoy listening to this self-degradation? I still don't know the reasons but considering her albums constantly sell there's a lot of women that feel the same. The same way how you women wonder is there any good men out here, is the same how men like me wonder is there any good women. And judgeing by your favorite rappers and role models, I can safely say there is'nt too many. Buy this album only if your new to this music genre, the front cover looks funny, or your mind is in the gutter. Cause in my opinion, only a lowlife can enjoy this.

    AMG comes with his extra funky jazzed up hyped beats & one dirty mouth, most of the songs on here are about sex (that goes along with being a buddy of DJ Quik). The album is decent but he says some lines that'll make you laugh til you cry. It has a few good songs but most are decent at best. The beats are tight though. Features 2nd II None (KK & D), & Boss.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Ever.......2004-05-19

    I grew up in the golden age of rap (1986-1993) and can say with all honesty this is one of the best from the era. Some of you new rap listeners may not get it since you grew up on Puffy and other MTV crap (which has destroyed music as we know it). The only beef is too many skits. I just want those fresh beats and fast rhymin. This is definitely up there with Straight Outta Compton.

    Poor AMG, he had it all and threw it away. At least he put his mark on rap music. Good work AMG! and that value meal is to go.

    5 out of 5 stars Straight Nasty.......2003-02-02

    I was 12 years old and in the seventh grade when this album came out knowing damn well I shouldn't have been listening to it. The beats on here are banging for real(my old walkman headphones never did do the bass justice), and the lyrics are straight nasty though well delivered. Honestly, the blunt sexual nature of this album is of course what makes it a classic. I'm not really sure if I like this record because it's good or out of sentimentality, but it's 11 years later and I'm still diggin' it. Title track, Vertical Joyride, and Tha Booty Up are probably the most recognizable tracks, but if you've heard those you've probably heard the rest because you know this didn't get much radio play. Damn, if my momma had have known what I was really listening to in the backseat...

    3 out of 5 stars Buy it.......2006-03-22

    Esthero's single (og. bitch) is a edgy and moody song that is well produced. The remixes are ok, the best is the Speakeasy - which best compliments her voice and still pays homage to the original withough laying some hard beats over it & calling it a day. I love you is one soulful song. This is worth it, even with some dismal remixes sprinkled around some good cuts.

    4 out of 5 stars She's the girl you just can't admit you adore..........2005-09-27

    "I am the original bitch/I am the original whore/I am the girlyou just won't admit/you adore..."

    Canadian singer Esthero started off with cool trip-hop, and graduated over the years to a new style: energetic funky dance and warm trip-hip-pop. And one of her new songs stands out on its own: "O.G. Bitch," a gloriously angry-grrl dance tune.

    Don't expect a "you stole my boyfriend" revenge song. It's a multi-barbed description of a "grinning bitch" who is "just waiting for me to drown/so no one knows you stole my whole sound!" This is worse than stealing a boyfriend; this is stealing art, and that's something no artist of any stripe is just going to brush off.

    Esthero doesn't pull her punches, and it's deliciously catty and unrestrained as she sings, "How kind of you to offer what you think/a woman should do or say/maybe if you weren't so self-righteous/you would not have such a problem getting laid!" Love that. She unflinchingly hits in all areas, and leaves you cheering for her barbed comments.

    But the song alone is not quite enough: there are a bunch of remixes. The original is a trippy, funky little tune, while the mix that follows makes it even trippier and ripplier. "Moody Ass Bitch Remix" makes it trippier and more electronic, while "Smitty & Gabriel D. Vine's Garage Party Mix" ups the beats and gritty synth for some serious shimmying.

    "Speakeasy Mix" is a live-sounding, jazzy mix, backed by drums and women urging her on. "The Orange Factory Mix" is the least appealing, stripping down most of the melody in favour of unexceptional technobeats, but the single bounces back with the swooningly dramatic "Bill Hamel Club Mix." Finally, Esthero tops it off with "I Love You," a sensuously breathy little pop song.

    This is Esthero's "You're So Vain" (which gets a homage in the second stanza), only with more venom and pain. And like Carly Simon, Esthero isn't telling anyone who it's about -- rumour has pointed at both Fergie and Nelly Furtado, but according to Esthero, neither one is it. Something to ponder, and wonder who stole her sound.

    Esthero gets points for dancey funkiness, and for having the guts to let rip lyrically about the musical thief. Whoever that person is, Esthero is still running circles around her.

    4 out of 5 stars original music.....too good.......2005-08-24

    what else can be said about the versatility of this beautiful voice. her boasts of being the 'girl you just cant admit you adore' are more than backed up and solidified by her addictive vocals. get out and get this EP for a new form of perspective of boasting.....too good.

    5 out of 5 stars If you love this song, it's a must. .......2005-08-03

    First off - I, personally, am a fan of remixes. If you are of similar tastes, you will definitely love this disc. It takes an incredible summer anthem and runs the gamet of musical styles. You've got two or three "hard-house" tracks, the radio edit of course, but the two that shine are #5 - a jazz-funk mix with some nice brass instruments for good measure... and #7, a slight nod to the electro-pop trend of late, but nothing overly offensive. If you've got a particular taste for this song, pick this one up for sure.

    5 out of 5 stars Esthero IS referring to Nelly Furtado!!!.......2005-07-11

    I became a huge Nelly Furtado fan after the release of Whoa, Nelly! But, I now realize that she totally ripped off Esthero's sound -- as Esthero says in O.G. Bitch. I researched a little further and found that the two Canadian bred divas were friends and Esthero was even featured on a track called "I Feel You" for the Whoa, Nelly! promo disc. Once Nelly's debut album was actually released, the Esthero track was removed and replaced with "Well, Well."

    If you listen closely, O.G. Bitch is Eerily similar to Nelly's song Party, from Whoa, Nelly! I personally think that if Nelly's fans (at that time) had gotten wind of Esthero, that would have certainly taken away some of Nelly's shine. Nelly's sophomore effort, Folklore, is a good album. But, it is void of the Esthero-esque vocals, not to mention the trip-hop/reggae tinged tracks that helped her sell millions of CD's the first time around.

    I guess we know NOW who the O.G. Bitch is.

    Album Description

    Bitch and Animal is a fresh, funky, animated duo of multi-instrumentalists, the kind you probably won't hear on the radio or see on MTV. They react to their surroundings by writing and performing sexually-energized songs that move butts and bust guts, using piles of instruments to explore piles of different musical styles. To record their new album, Sour Juice And Rhyme, Bitch and Animal locked themselves up in a house in the country, connected with nature and played croquet until their arms were sore.

    With the help of co-producer June Millington (best known as the leader of the '70s rock band Fanny), Bitch and Animal effectively channeled the energetic vibes and hilarious antics of their live shows, giving Sour Juice And Rhyme more of a carefree spirit than their previous album, 2001's Eternally Hard. Bouts of comic storytelling rub shoulders with somber balladry, percussive spoken word, Carter-family country and rap. It's a sea of genres, moods and messages, expertly mixed together by two geeks living on a farm, letting it all hang out.

    3 out of 5 stars Not their best but.......2006-02-27

    Ahhh...much love for the (lamentably not currently together) duo of Bitch and Animal. I much preferred their two previous releases-Eternally Hard and What's That Smell. However, there are still some worthy tracks on this release. "Pac Man" is a sweet unique lovesong, "1/2 Naked" and "Feminist Housewives" are both hilarious and "Secret Candy" is a brilliantly comedic feminist response to misogyny in rap lyrics. The rest of the songs were too self-consciously artsy for my taste. These are, however, two women with an articulate perspective and beautiful voices so I don't mean to discourage anyone from delving into their catalogue; an album that is not up to their usual standard is still quite good. If they ever tour together again, definitely make a point to go see them as they are at their best live.

    5 out of 5 stars It takes a lot for me to rate something as perfect..........2005-01-09

    I've been obsessed with this CD since I purchased it about six months ago. It's one of the few CDs I can actually listen to from beginning to end and love every song. The lyrics are genuine, the songs are simple yet entertaining...their main instruments seem to be just a violin and some bongos, yet they've created something so unique with such few resources. Obviously their music is directed toward a certain group, but I urge all music lovers to give this a chance.

    5 out of 5 stars sour juice and rhyme.......2004-05-04

    it's an amazing album, i promise

    4 out of 5 stars Totally Disagree!.......2004-03-17

    I think this album is great!!! Sure they're not entirely pleased about being lesbian women in the world today, but it sounds like the world hasn't exactly given them a lot of reason to be. And I really don't think that's the point either. I got this album because B and A have talent, a fresh sound to emphasize it, and a sense of humor. The message of their music IS love and tolerance....even their most agressive songs (aka Secret Candy) preaches that. I would advise people to go sample them on Ani D's website before making a decision about them, but don't just give up on them because of one unkind review.

    1 out of 5 stars dont waste your money!.......2004-03-15

    I just saw these two in concert. they looked interesting, so i thought, hey, i'll go see them...little did i know that they are a couple of insecure, talentless women who wish they had something that men do.....the whole show was about how angry thay are to be lesbian women....get over it! i'm sure glad this is to be their last tour together....
    save your money, dont buy this cd, do not support people that are so hateful and angry.....in a time when we need more love in this world.....

    a little more mellow than tarantism....but these guys have a distinct unique sound that i enjoy. not really like anyone else.

    Imagine Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones, KISS & Bob Dylan put in a mexican blender. This is just too good to be true. It gets better and better after each time I listen to it. I'm hooked. Tito & Tarantula... unbelievable stuff.

    I am sorry to say this but in comparison to Tarantism, this cd is a joke. One star for the two songs worth listening: "Silent Train" and "Regresare"

    Girls hungry for female empowerment and left unimpressed by Christina Aguilera: this is the real deal! This rates with Hole's Pretty on the Inside and Babes in Toyland's Fontanelle as a girl-grunge classic. Gato Negro opener "The History of My Future" arguably packs more power than anything on the above mentioned albums. Courtney Love fans (pre-nose jobs), you need this album!

    5 out of 5 stars The history of my future.......2004-06-09

    I miss the days when women in rock music weren't playing up to the cameras ala Pink or were pretending to be something they aren't (see Avril Lavigne). Back in the '90s when (I hate using this term immensely) 'grunge' exploded, bands from Seattle were getting signed left to right. One of my personal favorite bands at the time was 7 Year B***h. As usual, the major record label didn't know what to do with them in the end but the music the band put out was better than some of terrible music I was hearing at the time. "Gato Negro" is certainly a lot slicker than "Sick 'Em" was in terms of production value goes but the songs themselves were still the angry, raw, blundgeoning sounds that I have come to love from one of the best bands that came out of the northwest. Pink has nothing on Selene Vigil's ferocious growl. Valerie Agnew definitely reminded me of Babes in Toyland's Lori Barbero with her incredible drumming. All the songs on "Gato Negro" are great. I especially loved the first three tracks. They were edgy and fierce. Everything that women in rock tday aren't.

    4 out of 5 stars good old stuff..........2004-01-30

    Well these chicks rock and rock hard they did. Very good album, with good licks, sometimes the lyric fade and are a bit lame but their sound makes up for it.

    5 out of 5 stars The best, well to me.......2002-03-28

    I think this is one of the best girl bands(to bad there not together anymore). I love there sound and eveything else. I would tell every to buy this cd. It's the best well to me.

    buy this album! it's incredibly brilliant, from start to finish. you will absolutely love every song it has to offer. and thier other albums are equally as stunning so give them a shot...you won't be sorry!

    I saw Bitch & Animal open for Ani DiFranco last week, and I loved their act so much I picked up "Eternally Hard" right after the show. The whole band is made up of just 2 crazy women & a bunch of instruments (mostly Bitch on the bass guitar or electric violin & Animal on the bongos). The best part about Bitch & Animal is their personalities-- they're raunchy, funny, in-your-face and raw. I have to admit that they are best live--I laughed and cheered so hard my stomach hurt all the way through their songs. Try to see them live if you can. Anyway, my favorite tracks on this CD are Best c**k on the block, scrap metal, ganja (to the tune of "gloria"), sparkly queen aereola & boy girl wonder. If you like Ani DiFranco or Righteous Babe Records (they're on that label), then you should definitely try "Eternally Hard"--
    Highly Recommended!!
