Alternative PressThis is crushing, calculated and catchy, light years beyond the three-chord snarling if Dalle's past. [Jul 2009, p.130]
-
Dalle makes Spinnerette a showcase for her ability to trade styles with equal facility, from clipped, rocking new wave (the uber-catchy 'Geeking,' with its throwback double-tracked vocal) to the grungy closer ('A Prescription For Mankind.' which hosts an “experimental” secret track).

Q MagazineIt sounds like the album Courtney Love might have made had she not spent periods of the past decade blitzed to the back teeth. Which is a (very) good thing, by the way. [Jul 2009, p.132]
-
Spinnerette also feels a bit overcooked at times, possibly because of the long time it took to make. At its best, however, Spinnerette shows what Dalle can do outside of the Distillers' context, and suggests that maturity and life after punk rock can actually be fun.
-
Where her former act just made sneering grunty fight-punk, Spinnerette have proper tunes, proper lyrics and proper choruses. Marriage to two proven master songwriters has probably helped. But whatever, it's a positive move.
-
Decent stab at Queens Of The Stone Age rawk from Mrs. Josh Homme.

TravisJun 28, 2009A solid album that grows on you the more you listen to it. The track Distorting A Code is haunting and lovely.
