TKirkJun 1, 2004The sound provides something missing from today's generic pop fluff and "alternative" or rock crap. I found it tight and extremely listenable...

rolandvJul 26, 2004Lots of guitars (of course), kick-ass drums, wacky lyrics - good old fashioned turn it up music.

[Anonymous]Mar 27, 2006A competent but inconsistent platter of Alternative rock. Melissa has some talent, but she can't match her mentors, and it comes in somewhat inconsistent bursts. Still, the album offers a decent bunch of hard rocking gems and can be enjoyed, all of them accented with a female edginess that redeems even the most mediocre tracks. An easy album to like, but because of its flaws, hard to love.

Aug 27, 2010Pounding modern rock airwaves, Auf der Maur's debut solo album sets the bar for a new style of alternative rock and leaves Courtney Love's solo attempt in the back of the que. Heavy but beautiful, raw but well-cooked, MAdM invites you in and you'd be a fool to miss it!

Jun 29, 2020Melissa Auf der Maur, of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins fame really packs a punch with her first solo album. Though musically this record is quite strong, lyrically MAdM suffers a bit. Best tracks: Followed the Waves, Skin Receiver, Lightning is My Girl, Te Goƻter (on the Canadian version).

Entertainment WeeklyThe album's monolithic sound... feels dated and drab. [4 June 2004, p.80]
-
She never finds a way to distinguish one track from the next, or from the output of just about any '90s alt-rock also-ran.

Though Auf Der Maur has run off with their blueprint and built it as seen, theres raw passion and no little class here; Corgan and Love must be rueing their luck.
