CD Reviews"Courtney who?" ... Not quite. Edmundo Cabrera | Montclair, CA United States | 03/05/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "While Kat Bjelland, former lead singer of Babes in Toyland has definitely made her mark with this strong debut, its hardly something that will bring her to new audiences."Amusia" is strong both sonically and lyrically,and one can see the growth Kat has undergone as an artist.This however, isn't enough to bring her into the mainstream.Kat will always be an indie superstar, but she just doesn't possess the presence demanded of a rockstar.She will never be Courtney Love.Its time to let it go Kat.With songs like "Git Go" and "Pretty Car", its pretty easy to see who the target is...if not her former partner in crime(CLo), mainstream rockstars in general.I think Kat should be content with the audience she has, one bruised violet is enough." Scream Kat scream M. Crowder | columbus, IN United States | 05/27/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you like creative lyrics and screamin' chicks, and if you liked Babes in Toyland or Hole this would be a great "new" album for you to enjoy. Nobody screams as good as Kat Bjelland and some would argue nobody turns a phrase like her either. I love this album and I think you will too." Thank God, Kat's back! Annette Clemens | Chicago, IL United States | 06/03/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'm relieved that Kat Bjelland didn't permanently hang up her guitar after the demise of Babes in Toyland. There are many good things about this album--"Window", "Git Go", and "Gone Away" are definite highlights and are reminiscent of the best of Babes. Some songs are throw aways though--like "Haunted". It's not quite as solid as a Babes album, but very good nonetheless. Let's hope that Katastrophy Wife has many more albums to come."
