Amazon.com The mid-'90s are experiencing a bit of a renaissance in 2002. Perhaps the enduring proliferation of slick teen-pop and toothless hip-hop has finally sent people scrambling back to more substantial, albeit noisier, times. So what better moment for Brooklyn's quasi-hardcore heroes, Girls Against Boys, to reemerge? Leaving behind the ill-advised electronic ornaments of its previous major-label release, 1998's Freak*on*ica, the quartet returns to its indie-rock roots, physically and spiritually, on You Can't Fight What You Can't See. It is the band's most brutal album in ages, and the most fun, showcasing greasy riffs and joyously tilted rhythms on foundation-rattling tracks like "Kicking in the Lights" and "Miami Skyline." Dangerously exciting. --Aidin Vaziri Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRock solid album by a great, great band Greg Sicignano | USA | 08/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The albums may vary...slightly. Sure, the Geffin album is only "pretty good." But THIS album is right on. I don't think this band was ever destined for superstar status, but I think they will be remembered as one of the great post-punk bands of the late 90's/early 00's and many years down the road I anticipate outtakes and live performance packages. I just saw a show of theirs from a few weeks ago streaming online and they are still on it, despite being in need of new matierial. They are awesome live and I truly hope they will offer us some some more material in the near future." Lost out-takes??? Ken Hoffa | looking into a screen. | 09/29/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "after the disapointing freakonica album,( which is not entirely bad just not very good.) i pretty much figured that gvsb were pretty much over and was expecting more product from new wet kojak ( which are fantastic!) and then wammo! out comes "you can't fight what you can't see" I really expected more of the freakonica stuff but was at least a little pleased to find that the album had more structure than the previous. sure it is no venus luxure or cruise yourself , hell i'll even throw in house of... which are classics. but being more than likely gvsb last record at least they redeemed themselves alittle and went out on the highest note that,at this late date they could find." Addictive stuff! David Lynch | Belgium | 01/06/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Like every GVSB record, you have to listen quite a lot of times until you're finally into the album. With "You Can't Fight What You Can't See" it's the same...I had to put on the whole album 4 times until I could decide whether I liked it or not... I remember when I listened to it the 1st time I disliked it, but after 1,5 years it's one of those few cd's you never get bored.
The Album kicks-off with the astonishing "Basstation", a brilliant chorus-riff that -once you're into it- you want to hear over and over again. Addictive as hell and -I believe- their best song ever! "Miami Skyline" and the great "The Comedown" have that very sexy, typical GvsB sound like most of the tracks, except the very catchy "BFF" and beautiful closer "Let It Breathe", which is one of my favourite tracks. "Kicking The Lights" kicks off with a QOTSA-esque groove but just when you're thinking "wow this 's gonna be the song of the album", the chorus comes into play and screws up the whole song. Sad, but true... After all, if you like their sound, Scott's sexy voice and want to discover them, this album is great to start with! " |
