Hungry for Stink

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The L.A. quartet was already way up in the grrl pantheon when this disc put them over the top. "Hungry for Stink" delivers a primitive, sludgy, and pissed-off sound, but listen closer for the sonic invention on tracks like "Shirley, She Has Eyes" and "Riding With the Movie Star." --Jeff Bateman --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars A most listen!.......2006-06-03

If you like Bricks are heavy, your love this cd! The same metal beat but with cooler lyrics. Fast and in your face! My favorite song would be Shirley, its about a drag race that has its frist woman driver. Really awesome. A cd for the metalheads.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Record.......2006-05-12

This is the best L7 album, i analyzed all six of their albums and concluded this one has the best production. The guitar, bass and drums on this album are all outstandingly coordinated. My fav songs are "Andres", "Riding with a Movie Star", "Stuck Here Again", Fuel My Fire", and "She has Eyes". "She Has Eyes" has a very mellow sound to it. This album has alot of different moods. It is an outstanding piece of work. It's a must.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best metal grunge bands ever!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-08-31

I don't really like this band anymore because I have made a radical life change over the years and I just don't listen to this type of music anymore. But I still had to get on here and give this band some respect. These girls freaken rock, and even though there lyrics aren't quite the best, I've heard a lot worse on the mainstream radio. The don't sugarcoat anything at all. They tell it how they see it through their eyes. The basic fact is, these girls know how to jam. There is no other band that does it quite like them. They'll go down in my musical history books.

4 out of 5 stars Andres...I'm Sorry.......2005-08-26

I have listened to female rock very much lately. I think it is great that there's a band like this one. They are like metal but somehow punk...let's call it "punk metal" (if it is a good name). Their attitude is like in the most punk albums. The songs are much more metal...at least in this album. I heard at first their greatest masterpiece "Bricks Are Heavy" and then this one. There's a great start for this album: "Andres" is very scary song...the way they sing "Andres, I'm Sorry" is very cold. "Baggage" is a very heavy song and the next one "Can I Run" is also a frightening song...at least if you haven't heard punk or metal before. This album gives many great moments including "Fuel My Fire", "Talk Box", "She Has Eyes", "Questioning My Sanity", "Freak Magnet". This is even heavier than "Brick Are Heavy". I consider L7 as a female Slayer because the songs are really evil. L7 is a great band among Girlschool and The Runaways that also girls and women can rock. The reason why this isn't perfect are the songs "Riding with a Movie Star" and "Stuck Here Again"...I just don't like those songs.
Stars: Andres, Can I Run, Fuel My Fire, She Has Eyes

5 out of 5 stars How can these women have more testosterone than me?.......2005-08-11

Do you like your music straight forward with lots of power chords and in your face lyrics? Well, you may or may not like this album. These women definitely have more testosterone in their music than most bands of the genre. What makes them better is that they still play like girls. You'll here a lot more subtext to the lyrics and conterpoints to their melodies than you might expect on first listen. The first track "Andres" is a fantastic opener to the rest of the album. Other big highlights (I can't complain about any song) are "Stuck here again" (if this song doesnt capture frustration for ya then you should be listening to candy J-pop, "she has eyes" (art punk ala the surfers, "shirly" (about another female star in a mans field) and "beat box" (i dreamt of dying like this and it was like this). Buy and listen to this CD. I've had this CD for 11 years now and still enjoy it.
