Music reviews of Are You Man Enough

Music Review: Betty Blowtorch blows them away!
Rating: 5 Stars

They have no problem above shrieking the words "slut," "hooker," the F-word, or any other profanity multiple times. In fact, they thrive on it.

The opening guitar riffs on "Hell On Wheels" and the eff off attitude against the law would make Motley Crue proud, even the way vocalist Bianca B***hole pronounces a** as "ay-yass." Her voice here sounds like but outdoes Courtney Love. Come to think of it, Bianaca sounds like a female Vince Neil here and on "Love/Hate."

Vanilla Ice makes a guest appearance on "Size Queen," where he boasts the credentials of his reputed manhood.

Bianca really sounds like Donita Sparks of L7 on "I Wanna Be Your Sucker."

The tempo slows down a bit with the heartbreak story song, "I'm Ugly And I Don't Know Why." It's probably the angriest song here and is about the bitter growing pains of elementary school. The monologue involving a confrontation with a girl who steals away the narrator's boyfriend blazes with fury and builds to a crescendo to where the narrator calls her rival a little c***. Do I feel her pain and anger? Until it burns away my skin!

The girls grew up on hair bands and they do a heartfelt mid-paced number here, naming Lita Ford, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, and Ratt, on "Big Hair, Broken Heart." I grew up with those hair bands too, and not many of them have survived the 1990's or 2000's.

I can list more than a handful of people who deserve the lyrics of sing/chant "I Wish You'd Die" sung to them just to let'em know where they stand. Yes, I hate that many people.

The CD sleeve contains not only the lyrics to the songs, but also Playboy-like vital statistic about each of the girls. For example, the heavily-tattoed Bianca describes her breasts as "2 Scoops of Whipped Cream & a Bowl of Cherries= 36-24-36" and lists her fantasy as Steve Tyler's lips around her bowl of cherries. Lead guitarist Blare N ... has the funniest list; her sign is "Radioactive Waste," measurements are "Long And Narrow," and her fantasy is "Car Insurance." Or how about guitarist Sharon Needles' fantasy, to have an all-girl bike gang called "The Menstrual Cycles"?

Take my advice--these girls mean business! And whatever you do, don't mess with them, unless you have a death wish. They could go ten rounds with any world dictator and come out the champs. Oh yes, and they can put out a killer album, like this one! Thanks, and please don't kill me!
