  • Summary: Believe it or not, this is indeed a brand-new album from L.A.'s Go-Go's -- their first in 17 years, to be exact.

    Veteran alt-rock producers Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade give the record surprising bite and contemporaneity. [18 May 2001, p.80]

    It's the group's continued synchronicity that makes puns like "Kissing Asphalt" both chat-room hip and roller-rink authentic. [Jun/Jul 2001, p.110]

    Recaptures their hallmark bright-eyed power-pop sound while rarely scaling fresh heights. [#184, p.135]

    This is a very cool & LONG awaited album from the first and only all girl band (not group-there is a difference) to score a #1 album. Fresh & fun, looks like some things never change.… Expand

    The album is fun, however the songs could use a bit more edge. Most of the songs do not sound like they were quite "finished" at the time of recording.… Expand
