talented musicians

Review Score: (8/10)
This is a response to a review 5 or so earlier... quote "VIOLENT FEMMES is a band most have not heard of, but should. Okay, so musically they're not really talented."

I'm sorry, this guy dont know jack-s**t. The guys are incredibly talented. Brian Richie on accoustic bass blows all & sundry away on his bass both on the studio albums and particularly live. He is a master bass player really like no other. Not a stretch to say he's the Jimi Hendrix of Bass. He's simply brilliant.

He's developed a style of playing bass like a lead guiter. Lead guitar breaks, but on Bass. Then he has figured out a way to play all 4 strings and create rythym chords on the bass too.An incredible fused bass sound unheard of.
Gordon Gano is equally nearly adept on guitar (when he chooses to be) and has a unique and great sounding voice.
now i'm not sure what the playing is like on this album as i have never heard it, but just listen to thier first 2 albums and you'll see what i mean
