CD This Island
Not Yet Rated
Rolling Stone (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "On THIS ISLAND, The Day-Glo heroines of Le Tigre mutate music from all of yesterday's parties - electronica, hip-hop and punk - into a very now thing of their own." Spin (p.109) - "Kathleen Hanna's voice shreds through a popping landscape of synths and Italo-disco beats....Le Tigre's endless energy and choreographed spunk still makes THIS ISLAND sizzle with hope and inspiration." - Grade: B+ Spin (p.65) - Ranked #22 in Spin's "40 Best Albums of the Year" - "They produced a vivid, clear, stunningly original love letter to New York City." Entertainment Weekly (p.95) - "[With] cheerleader choruses and beats that snap, skip, an glisten like something out of a '79 discotheque." - Grade: B- Alternative Press (p.154) - 5 out of 5 - "[A] career-arching centerpiece that doesn't lose the kids or forget to dupe the suits into releasing a protest march as the first single." The Wire (p.58) - "Le Tigre make a convincing case for synthpop as an instrument of liberation theology." CMJ (p.14) - "THIS ISLAND's polished production - a new aesthetic for Le Tigre - amplifies their voice for peace into a roar." Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "A combustible mix of self-righteous rage, irony and lo-fi groove logic....When they're good they're grrreat."
