Synopsis

Album Details

The Debut Album from the British Girl Group Inevitably Invites Comparisons to Older Groups that Came Before them Like the Shangri-la's, the Crystals, the Shirelles, the Ronettes and the Like. But These Gals Are Very Much a Part of the Post-women's Lib Generation, Not Indebted to Or Needing Men for their Own Happiness! They have More in Common with the Ramones, who Understood and Appreciated their Antededents and Fully Embrace their Strengths While Forging Ahead with Music for the 21st Century on their Own Terms. Produced by Andy Dragazis (Blue States) and Gaz Parton (The Go! Team), the Album Includes the Singles "Dirty Mind" (Re-recorded Here), "Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me" and "Pull Shapes". This Edition Adds a Bonus Track, "Really that Bad".

CD Reviews

(not quite) too cute for their own good

Charles Sikkenga | Grand Haven, MI USA | 08/20/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"With their retro fashion statement and girl-power solidarity, it would be hard to blame anyone for thinking of The Pipettes as a sort of Spice Girls for the Indie Rock set. However, beyond the visuals lies a pretty darn solid girl group revival band record. While not as Garagy as say, Ko and the Knockouts or The Downbeat 5 , the backing band is just tough enough to put a little bite behind the tunes and what groovy tunes they are. Whatever these gals' sugary-sweet confections lack in substance, they more than make up for in catchy hooks. Best of all is "Pull Shapes" with its mega "Dance With Me Chorus" backed by trilling strings and prominent hand claps. Its one of the most fun singles of the year and the rest of the album's 35 minutes is nearly enjoyable."
