    This album completely blew, The Distillers sold out their music and souls. Almost the entire CD was terrible songs 8 and 9 were the only decent ones yet the idiots making the cd decided to ad vocal effects to brody's voice which is horrible. And the song with just sound from the guitars and the drums keeping a beat was aweful and useless. Random noises aren't hardcore or punk This album completely blew, The Distillers sold out their music and souls.

    Critics are so eager to either love or hate this album based solely on the over hyped soap opera that is known as brody's life, that few reviewers have actually mentioned listening to this album when they review it. For what it's worth I've bought it, listened to it and I am sincerely thinking of writing to Warner Brothers and asking for my money back. At best this album is Critics are so eager to either love or hate this album based solely on the over hyped soap opera that is known as brody's life, that few reviewers have actually mentioned listening to this album when they review it. For what it's worth I've bought it, listened to it and I am sincerely thinking of writing to Warner Brothers and asking for my money back. At best this album is a showcase for the bands rhythum section (which at times is stellar and at other times threatened to be completely sabatoged by Brody's singing and her and Tony's guitar playing) and at worst, everything that has become stale, stagnent and boring about punk rock. Positive reviews on this album on based on nothing more than the media's desire to paint Brody as some angel/whore who crawled her way out of the gutter to save rock n roll from utter damnation. If they were based on the actual music I highly doubt anyone would give this album a second thought. For Sale one copy of Coral Fang dirt cheap. Expand

    the 1 is for sound coming out of my speakers. derivative, bland, without hooks, and cast in a positive light by sole virtue of brody's shitty life, the album is a classic case of hype being based on background than the actual music. when a "punk" album makes you fall asleep, you're in trouble. come on kids. there's so much better out there. if you don't know where to the 1 is for sound coming out of my speakers. derivative, bland, without hooks, and cast in a positive light by sole virtue of brody's shitty life, the album is a classic case of hype being based on background than the actual music. when a "punk" album makes you fall asleep, you're in trouble. come on kids. there's so much better out there. if you don't know where to start, maybe fugazi will make you understand what little you know if you actually love this album.

  1. In making a record with such universal themes of love and hate, and sounding so pissed off in the process, Brody has inadvertently made herself the most important new rock star in the world.

    This is exciting but competent American punk by numbers. [Nov 2003, p.114]
  3. All you have to do is plug Coral Fang in and turn it on to experience [Dalle's] greatness.
