Tracks It's On The Rocks Take It Off Who Invited You All Messed Up Dirty Denim You Wanna Get Me High I Don't Care (So There) Pass It Around Too Bad About Your Girl Not The One Please Don't Tease Take Me To The Backseat 5 O'Clock In The Morning
In 1999 the Donnas reached the age where they couldGet Skintight. Then the racy foursome went on toTurn 21in 2001. And for 2002, theirs is either an invitation or an offer toSpend the Night. And it'll be a whopper of a night. "It's on the Rocks" opens the evening on an anthemic note. The stoner paean "Pass It Around" appears just past midpoint, and "5 O'Clock in the Morning" closes the event. What's in between? Straight-ahead drumbeats, snarling guitars, and sassy vocals are the band's calling cards, and they're all very much in evidence here. Songs like "Take It Off" and "Please Don't Tease" are built upon bouncing melodies that are revved by choppy pop-punk guitar and simple rhymes ("tease" and "knees," for example). The Donnas' party--"Take Me to the Backseat" included--doesn't rage so much as it embraces a kind of postpunk free love that swaggers like the Ramones circa "Rockaway Beach."--Andrew Bartlett
The best rock and roll record in decades There is nothing to say about this cd except it kicks ass from start to finish. "On The Rocks" is the ideal song to kick off this cd followed by other rockers "Take it off" and "All messed up" The music is straight forward kick ass rock and roll. Yes it is a formula that has been done before but it works and it works well. It is sad that so many bands have strayed away from this Formula that has made bands like Kiss, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent and The Rolling Stones such classics, and you'll hear all the influences. This cd does not sound like the Donnas previous cd or the one that follows, and sadly The Donnas may go down as a flash in the pan, however any true rock and roll fan should not be with out this cd. Like the song says "Five O:clock in the morning" and you'll listen to it untill then. In an age of war, corruption, and other depressing things the music industry is singing about, it's good to hear fun partying songs with a "Take Me in the Back Seat" message.
Just good stuff, get a life! A lot of criticism of the donnas centres around "they always sound the same" and "silly lyrics" "all about sex" but, you know, maybe that's what makes them so great. If you have a formula for success why change it? This album is a classic. All the songs have great rifs, tunes, great production, consistently good lyrics, and pure energy from start to finish. Why haven't this band been a huge success in Britain? Only a matter of time, and proper marketing I'm sure. Give us more of the same please girls!Mediocre Album From A Decent Band Yes, I know I might get bashed for this, but I find this album to be too repetitive. I understand that they are a party band in for a good time and I don't mind lightening up and having fun with rock music, but like I said it gets old way too fast. I believe the first half of the tracks are solid such as "Take It Off" Who Invited You" and "You Wanna Get Me High". Another one of my problems with this album in particular are all the rhyming lyrics. Also, the lead singer just sings about sex most of the time (as a guy, I don't mind that, but c'mon enough is enough). Do not buy this album new, but if you see it used for say about $5 bucks or less, then I would suggest checking it out.
