"'The Real Janelle' would be the last music released from Bratmobile for the next six years. I know some people have complained this CD is too short, but remember it's an EP not an LP. The craftsmanship is a big step up from the messy 'Pottymouth'. The production is more clear and Bratmobile are more noisy than ever before. I would have loved if they would have made a full length album during this time, because it seems like they were at their peak here. All the songs are standouts, particularly the wounded and abused 'And I Live In A Town Where The Boys Amputate Their Hearts'. I especially enjoy their cover of The Misfits 'Where Eagles Dare'. Great CD, it's worth every penny. It's short, but it will take a bite out of ya. So let it."

"This record is worth whatever price you may have to pay, if not purely for their cover of the Misfits' "Where Eagles Dare" - it's nothing like the original and yet it rocks just as hard. Okay, not as hard as the Misfits, but it's just as good. A must-have for the Bratmobile fan.
On a side note, if you came across this record because you're looking for Misfits' covers, may I suggest the Lemonheads' EP "Spanish Delights" (it's called something to that effect). On it, the 'heads cover "Skulls", in what may be the most hysterical, unlike-the-original cover ever. They also cover the Monkees and New Kids On the Block - you really should find it."
