EdwardMar 10, 2007Stern is an inspirational guitar goddess. I mean who else sounds like this when they're shredding. Best debut of the year so far. She rocks!

JohnJMar 15, 2007Awesome!!!!! It takes a few listens to get into it, but once you get used to it, it becomes hard to listen to anything else. It is all I have listened to for 2 weeks.

[Anonymous]Mar 26, 2007Marnie Stern is, as said below, a guitar goddess. This album's a bit long, but there's tons of energy just bursting from the seams on each track, and it makes it somewhat listenable, even though it shouldn't be. Sometimes it's very, very strange, but after a few listens you will fall in love with it.

TunaMar 31, 2007Just what the world needs, a female indie rock Yngwie Malmsteen. Talk about the Emporer's New Clothes...

MattD.Mar 7, 2007It's like Yoko Ono fronting a frenetic Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Nearly unlistenable.

DebiBMar 28, 2007It took more than one listen to get into her sound, but I love, love, love it now. I don't like every single song on the cd, but I can't stop listening to at least half of them -- which is better than average compared to most albums I buy.

This album is the prescription for anyone who thinks rock has imploded or has nothing new to offer.

With Broken Arm, Marnie Stern has delivered a frenetic and ridiculously entertaining debut.

Unfortunately, In Advance isn't an EP, and things falter a bit past the halfway mark.
