This one's for collectors only

Review Score: (4/10)
I just purchased this CD and was overly excited about finally getting my hands on this rare album. I have been a huge Femmes fan since the first album and have seen them live a bunch of times. But I have to confess to being a bit disapointed in ROCK. Gordon's style of writing music is always a little bit corny, but he usually pulls it off well by staying honest and keeping the music catchy. He doesn't seem to capture that honesty in this one. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Femmes. But I just wanted to write this so I can warn the next kid that comes across this rare find. It isn't the next "Why Do The Birds Sing" and it isn't an album that will find it's way into your CD player on a daily basis. It's nice to have, but there is definetly some logic to why they only released it in Australia. Next time I get an import from Australia, I think I'd prefer an ice cold Fosters instead. P.S. Brian Ritchie is still a god on the four string (and the didgeridoo((if that's how ya spell it)))
