  • Summary: 'You're A Woman' is the first album for the Canadian duo of vocalist/drummer Sebastien Grainger and bassist Jesse F. Keeler. It's a drum 'n' bass album in the literal sense of the term, as those are the only two instruments (aside from a very infrequent synthesizer) on the record.

    Bowel-rattling rhythmic rock that's as viscerally exciting as it is grubby. [Feb 2005, p.101]

    If you like your dance music jerky, nasty and just a little bit angry, Death From Above are your boys.

    Death From Above 1979 are really unlike any rock band out there. It's one of the better duo bands out there. Although I must admit, I didn't buy into it the first time I heard it. Or the second time. ANd even the third time. But I tried to like them and forced myself and eventually it clicked one day. Now, I listen to it all the time. It's a great dance-punk album that gets better with each listen. It's dirty, sleazy, and it completely rocks. "Romantic Rights" is the standout track. All In All, it's unlike any record I've ever heard and I wish they'd make another album. B+… Expand

    A solid, original album, but hurt by some production and vocal weaknesses. It doesn't have enough sonic punch for the metal side, and lacks enough of a strong vocalist for the dance side. Still, I can't stop playing it. Deliciously volcanic stuff.… Collapse

    this album sucks, plain and simple. it's nowhere near the hint of genius they showed on "heads up." every song sounds the same. you';d be better off buying anything than this.… Expand
