    I found this album to be a big disappointment. It just seems rather dull and uninspired. I understand that Brody Dalle wanted to expand herself musically, and I do enjoy hearing a more melodic vocal style from her, but it just seems to lack the lyrical depth and the passion of her earlier albums.

    I absolutely love this album! The songs are catchy and pleasant to listen to (nothing too heavy, not too soft either). You can definately feel the QOTSA influence but thats fine with me since Ive been a Queens fan for a long time. I cant wait to hear some more stuff from Spinnerette! Favorite songs: All Babes Are Wolves Baptized by Fire.

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

    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.

    We feel like we got sold herbal E and it didn’t even get us stoned.
