Search - Liz Phair :: Supernova

A good song, a so-so single

"As much as I like Liz Phair, I could not recomend shelling out the bucks for this disc unless you just have to get anything she's ever released. The title song is great, but if you're a fan, you already have it. The edited version deletes the song's only expletive, so you're not really missing anything. "combo-platter" is a fairly lack-luster song from the rather lo-fi girly-sound tapes that really doesn't do the girl justice anyway. If you're buying it just for "combo-platter", do yourself a favor and try to track down a bootleg copy of girly-sound."

Skip the SuperNova and race straight for the platter.

""And now you're sleeping with that girl that you used to say that you have always hated..don't be so in love with yourself 'cause I'm not." With jewels like this, the cd is worth every penny. Supernova was never a flame-throwing favorite of mine, but it never has let me down yet. The classic sound with a switched up layout of Combo Platter more than makes up for any other fault one could find with the album."
