Liz Phair's "Exile from Guyville"

is one of the finest rock n roll records you've either never heard or ever heard.


wow, she really sold out for the fame, didnt she? sad sad....

 

i have heard alot about this album, and i have been meaning to get it...but i think its just her sold out image that has swayed me from hearing it...


the only song i have heard is a live version of "flower" i think its called...rather dirty

 

forget allllllllllllllllllll about what she is now... she used to be so good and rock so hard, just imagine the rolling stones with a female version of mick jagger.

the songs are so damn catchy too... and wow, im really falling in love with her voice, good lord. .

 

i remember i was driving with my sister, and she was singing along to one of her newer songs on the radio...it bothered the hell out of me so much, but she seems to like her.


i need to get that cd, and if it really is like what you say it is, she will be repulsed by it

 

i listened to it last night...and it wasnt to bad! they are catchy songs...and i love how sparce the instrumentation is on some of the songs...and her voice are alot better . think i need to listen to it a few more times to let it all soak in

 

its so great. . if it werent for devendra, id be listening to it now.

only song i dont like is "Flower"... that one is just dumb.

 

"fuck and run" was my song back in the day.... loved her right up until "White Chocolate Space Egg"... have all her albums until she became the 40 yr old version of Avril Lavine.

 

love this album, can't say I am a fan of her newer stuff though.

 

I'm a huge fan of Liz. Exile in Guyville is actually my favorite album. I love Whip-Smart and Whitechocolatespaceegg as well. As for her post-90's material, I like her self-titled kinda and personally don't really enjoy her fifth album. I dig Funstyle though and I'll still anticipate any music she puts out. I mean I don't care if she's "sold out" or gone pop or whatever. I just want her to put out a collection of smart tunes and I didn't really think that her Capitol-era shit really fit the bill completely in that aspect. Oh well. What can you do? Liz should do what she wants.
