CD ReviewsOne of the best CDs EVER DIANE ISSER | melrose park, PA United States | 01/15/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I got feminist sweepstakes 3 months ago, and it is STILL in my diskman! in general i prefer more hardcore crust music like rudimentary peni, crass,and Sub-Humans, but this is one of the best CDs of ALL TIME!" Finally, people who know what they are talking about! Christopher J. | Salt Lake City, Utah United States | 10/15/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have been a huge Kathleen fan since Bikini Kill. Julie Ruin was a great side project and then came Le Tigre, one of the best bands in my collection. I have purchased all of the Le Tigre albums and this one is by far the BEST yet! These 3 women take on political issues that are important to me and are usually overlooked. It isn't just girl power or riot grrrl anymore. This album covers homosesexual rights, gender differences, socioeconomic back grounds and how the poor get skrewed and the rich dont care! O.K. I may sound bitter, but I was so impressed by this album. My favorite tracks are "FYR" which is probably the most political of all the songs they have created and "Keep on Livin'" which still brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. I saw them live on their last tour in Salt Lake City and it was INCREDIBLE! These women have energy, power, pride and creative minds that work together creating unique and beautiful expression. I love all of their albums, but Feminist is the best by far! You will not and could not regret this purchase!" My all time favorite L. Newkirk | Houston | 01/30/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "If someone was to ask me who my favorite band is, it wouldn't be Le Tigre (although I am a HUGE fan and they run a close second and seeing them live really made my life). HOWEVER, if someone was to ask me what my favorite CD of all-time is I wouldn't think twice before saying Feminist Sweepstakes.
I have been in love with this CD for a good three years probably. I can't listen to it without singing along with every word. Tracks like LT Tour Theme, Fake French, Tres Bien, and Well, Well, Well are playful and fun. Others like FYR, On Guard, My Art, and Keep On Livin' really get your blood pumping and also have such a positive message (especially Keep On Livin'...probably my favorite LT song for that reason). The thing I can't get enough of is the powerful feminist strength behind Kathleen Hannah's voice. Her voice is the cherry on top that makes this cd not just a great listen, but it is actually empowering. I never get tired of this CD. I can't say enough good things. Buy it." |
