Lead vocalist Jessicka sounds like Kathleen Hannah of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre--girlish vocals one line, shrieking like a demented vixen the next. And the music is comparable to Bikini Kill too, a metal-punk hybrid, or is it punk-metal? Much of this is due to Jessicka and guitarist Ho Ho Spade. "American Made" sets the tone for the album, and a perverse one at that. Lines like "Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it", "Burn the flag with a fag" (British slang, not American), and "My world is evil but American made." Sometimes, with the overly materialistic lifestyle and economic policies we have in this world, that "but" should be replaced with "and." "My Cat" is a humorous song extolling the virtues of her cat, who can break her arm in seven places, burn the Bible, and play guitar. And of course, Jessicka's cat is everything to her. Hmm, sounds like a certain music and video reviewer I know. "Working With Meat" works well, with desensitization a major theme of the song, whether it is after a bad relationship, shoving coke up one's nose, even to the point that "the maggots eat away." The theme here is past caring. Decay seems to play a theme here, especially with songs like the aforementioned "Working With Meat", "Lollirot". Heck, if we include moral decay, let's throw in "American Made". A visual theme permeating throughout is dolls. The album cover, with the girls' heads on featureless bodies, the album song titles on the rear side in red, as if carved into the doll body with a razor, and the topless Raggedy Ann doll in the inside sleeve, which has a lyric from "Cumpdumpster" written beneath it. It's a treat when Jessicka shrieks, which she does for a phrase or two during a song. A worthy effort in the metal/punk hybrid pantheon.
