"I know you think you know me better than that," sneers Oscar-nominated actress Juliette Lewis on the title track of her band's debut album, and I guess we did. For while the charismatic star of Cape Fear and What's Eating Gilbert Grape has often revealed a smidgen of unconventionality (coupled with aspirations to start a rock band), this vigorous cache of defiance-spewed punk rockers and memorable ballads comes from way back in left field. The simple comparisons have Lewis handpicking eccentricities from P.J. Harvey and sporting the brawling passion of Patti Smith. But a more suitable parallel for her aching octave assault is the late Mia Zapata (from Seattle's Gits), most notably on the sultry "This I Know" and 100 mph heartbreakers "So Amazing" and "Money in My Pocket." Sure, she has a ways to go to catch Harvey and Smith, but compared to rocking Hollywood comrades Minnie Driver and Keanu Reeves, Juliette & the Licks' foray into rock and roll is a natural born killer. --Scott Holter

Juliette and the licks - You're speaking my language.......2005-09-29
I'd give it 10 stars if I could..........2005-09-01
If you're into rock music at all(even indie as well)..then get this CD. You won't be sorry. It's one of the best female fronted bands I've ever heard my entire life. I could break down this review about give a description of every song on the album, but there is only one thing to say..EVERY song on the album is great. In the past few years, this has been one of the few cds I could listen to all the way through and not ever skip ANY song. GET THIS CD ASAP!
