Music reviews of How We Quit the Forest
Music Review: Perfect
Rating: 5 Stars
Rasputina is in a category all their own. They are refreshingly different and talented. Melora's voice is unique, the way it falters and shakes, as if always on the verge of tears. I would recommend this album if you are just getting in Rasputina. They have such archaic grace when it comes to how they present their music. Each song introduces you into a new realm. A story unfolds as each note and word is heard. "The New Zero" is one of my favorites, it begins with the trilling cellos and does let up. "The Girls of Birkenau" is amazing, i never tire of listening to it. Other great songs include "Dwarfstar", "Signs of the Zodiac", "How we Quit the Forest",and "Watch TV". Though the whole album is brilliant, those are my favorites. Many people consider Rasputina to be goth, but they are too unprecedented and gifted to be categorized.

Description of How We Quit the Forest
Deluxe enhanced edition of this 1998 release, the second album by Rasputina, originally released on Columbia Records. The band's foundress Melora Creager has seen fit to license this record from its captors, and it is now available on her own Filthy Bonnet Records. The deluxe CD reissue is packaged in heavyweight card sleeve with the original 10 panel booklet and a six panel bonus booklet created by. The Enhanced CD features a video for "The Olde Headboard," a short promo film about the album, plus a bonus track "The Olde Headboard (Weathered Mix)."You can litmus-test yourself with the name alone. If you don't appreciate the stained-glass humor of a trio of corseted female cellists warping the moniker of the Mad Monk, chances are you're going to despise the creepy, Gothic-edged sonatas on this sophomore CD, easily one of the year's most curious releases. Get the gag? Good. You're in for one hell of a strange sonic trip, with campy bandleader Melora Creager as your wisecracking guide. "Strange" as in a nimble plucking of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" chestnut. Or an intensely fiddled send up of the DeBeers jewelry commercial, "Diamond Mind," with Creager commanding: "I want that diamond!/I want that thing!/A tennis bracelet, a ring!" Elsewhere, the disc is alternately jarring ("LeechWife," "Olde HeadBoard") and gentle ("Rose K," "Herb Girls of Birkenau"). Creager's subject matter gets downright sinister at times. Where else can you hear yarns concerning the ancient medical practice of leech application? Heel to shovel, Creager digs deep into the catacombs of the surreal until you have no choice but to dig Rasputina. --Tom Lanham
