Product Description
On their sophomore album, Blonde Redhead streamline the beautiful ballast of their debut into a feral flow as focused as it is furious. An upgrade in production values this time around doesn't stifle the energy, and greatly enhances the increasingly sophisticated interplay between intstruments and voices. If the debut announced their arrival, La Mia Vita Violenta cemented their (rightful) place at the table.

Customer Reviews:
Puts You In a Trance.......2007-01-08
This album is essential. Blonde Redhead play it even better live.
Loved Despite Great Faults.......2005-01-18
Like many great and influential bands - Led Zepelin, The Dead Kennedys, The Smiths, Sleater-Kinney - on first listen, you may find the vocals irritating (much like Squeaky Fromme singing love ballads to Charles Manson)... until by the third listen you realize the genius of it. But while you were trying to wrap your head around the vocals, the guitars and melody lines have gotten you hooked like crackhead to 'pipe and there's no going back. Beware, one Blonde Redhead CD will have you buying all 20 and wanting more. La Mia Vita Violente is the gateway drug.
Dissonant, meditative.......2003-07-15
This album is brilliant. If you enjoyed Loveless from My Bloody Valentine or Goo or Dirty from Sonic youth, you'll probably like La Mia Vita Violenta. It has a great balance of slow dreamy numbers and ear drum popping rockers. I saw Blonde Redhead a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco and they blew me away. The songs that they performed form this album were particularly good. For three skinny little people, they sure know how to make a lot of noise.
Blonde Redhead aren't blonde at all.......2000-11-30
I don't remember why I got this album. Like most great finds I think I heard a track on the college radio and went to purchase it immediately. They have been known to rock on this one like Dirty-era Sonic Youth. "I Still Get My Rocks Off" and "I am There While You Choke On Me" absolutely kick. The quieter stuff is hypnotic. I added "Young Neil" for a friend's compilation tape just for one amazing chord change deep into the song. If you're reading this you're most likely a fan of experimental guitar rock. This album does not disappoint! PS- The songs sound even better live.
the beauty..........2000-02-21
this band, and especially kazu's vocals, carry an exquisite beauty that is indescribable in the english language. i went to see them live in cleveland and they cancelled due to illness. my heart was shattered. if anyone knows of shows coming up, or a way to get info, get me at why.who@mailcity.com
