"Heavy Songs is the second full length CD without Michie Nakatani and it appears the Yamano sisters have finally recovered. While I miss Michie's song writing and singing, Shonen Knife seems to have moved on nicely after the stutter step that was Strawberry Sound. Shonen Knifes funky sound (think punk, j-pop, 60's girl bands) keeps progressing and keeping me entertained, which might explain why this album has had good circulation in my cd players since I bought it."
Fun album!!!!

"Although it's called 'Heavy Songs' the songs on this album are all great fun and positive. The band sond is great form with lots of tight playing and catchy melodies as you would expect from Shonen Knife. The songs are so infectious it is almost beyond belief. My personal favourite on here is 'Golden Years Of Rock & Roll' which is a wonderful touching and uncynical tale which tells of the joy of being a rock music fan. Other highlights are the all out disco of 'A Boogie Monster' and the alternating vocals on 'Whatever'. I'm hooked on this album!
