Penelope says- "This is where I rock again!" The Rolling Stone (German edition) gave it 3***1/2 stars, while Music Express/Sounds gave it 5 stars! The US CD has 12 (+2 bonus tks) songs written by myself and Pat Johnson (from the Birdboys), Charlotte Caffey and Jane Weidlin (ex-GoGo's), and Chuck Prophet. The musicians include Chuck Prophet, Joel Reader, Jamie Lemoine, Tim Mooney (from AMC), Steve Bowman (ex-Counting Crows), Michael Papenburg (from Lilyvolt), Marc Capelle (from the Kinetics), Charlotte Caffey, Jane Wiedlin, and Julian Smedley. It's produced by Jeffrey Wood and myself. The 2 bonus tracks are: New Day (featuring Billie Joe Armstrong on guitar/producing) and a David Kahne remix of Scum.
Spin calls it "...the album the Cardigans only dream of making."
Stereo Review 4**** "Smart and charismatic, sexy as hell."
Pulse 4**** "consistently fine"
